I am working on correcting my steep down swing and have been using drills that bump the hips forward and then rotate the hips. Previously, I was thinking my backswing started by swinging with my arms. At least that was my thinking during the swing. Is that correct or a bad thought? Is that what caused my steep down swing?? Is it true to say, the downswing is driven mainly by the hips bumping and then turning which turns the shoulders which then pulls the arms, hands and then the club through striking the ball? If this is true, then the arms, hands, and club are just along for the ride and no force added by arms. Like a water skiier being pulled by the boat. Skiier is along for the ride and boat (hips) drive the down swing. If so, when if any do the arms/shoulders supply power to striking the ball? I am either really messed up or I have just stumbled onto something huge concerning the proper down swing.
The back swing is all about the shoulders turning and then turning the hips with no mention of the arms driving anything except keeping them straight. Is the downswing the reverse of that? Thanks, I hope you can understand the thought I am trying to convey. Frank
Thanks @Tom Saguto ! You have a lifelong over the topper, swinging out of the zone of death! Too soon to talk about the Nobel Peace Prize? 😂
