The golf swing is first and foremost a motion. No matter how well accomplished someone may be at the static positions of the golf swing, a repeating motion is the cohesion that ties them all together. Since it is, it must adhere to some simple laws of physics…namely the law of inertia and centrifugal force. The law of inertia states that once something is in motion is will stay on its path and in its plane of movement unless an outside force acts upon it. Centrifugal force is simply the outward tug on an object that is rotating around a central point or axis. Take full advantage of these two forces and your golf swing will repeat like a dream, producing your desired results with uncommon and fantastic consistency. Get in the way and you will just as consistently produce results on the other end of the spectrum…completely undesirable.
The golfer must in essence give up control to gain control. His muscle tone must be such as to allow these laws of motion to do their magic. Muscle tone is initially set up by the quality of the player’s grip. If the grip is on correctly, then the muscle tone can be quite light. The form of the grip literally creates the grip pressure. (Only for the least strong player’s new to the game might they feel like they have to actually hold on a bit.) This muscular attitude works its way into the arms and shoulders and down into the body, legs and feet. It is a tone that allows the body to move freely and athletically within a frictionless flow with ease, style and grace. It allows for consistency and natural speed. It encourages a natural and individual expression of rhythm and flow. This muscle tone allows for one of the most exhilarating feelings in golf…that of your arms being slightly pulled out of their sockets through impact. This is freedom, this is letting it go, and yet paradoxically, this is control.
The longest clubs and some specialty shots such as shots from the rough, may need a little more muscle tone, while the shorter shots need a bit less tone indicating more finesse. Most players have a muscle tone that is way too hard and often stiff. If on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the muscle tone while watching TV or reading a book and 10 being the hardest and most tense muscles you have ever experienced, then perhaps a 2.2 to 2.5 is appropriate for golf. Most players I see are between 4 and 5.
Let is one of the most important words in golf. Letting the swing proceed naturally in not only a great way to play golf with more ease and consistency, but it allows for a path of least resistance for learning because nothing is contrived or contorted. It is easy to help someone whose swing is based on momentum and free movement. This physical attitude helps to influence the proper mental attitude and emotional arousal as well. All will be in order. All will be poised. You will be able to express who you are and eventually who you want to be.
May all your swings be free.
