Golf Instruction For Optimal Swing Sequence

There are three phases of golf swing sequence that instruction may help. To make it simple, you've gotthe take-away (backswing), coming back down (downswing),and impact (into the follow through).

The first phase of your swing sequence is the backswing, which is critical to your golf swing success! If you don't initially take the club away, it will set in motion an improper sequence, virtually killing your golf swing from the start! Everything after that point doesn't even matter now. Your swing is dead!

The downswing actually starts with the legs and hips rather than the arms, which does the actual swinging of the golf club. There should be a clear transfer of body weight from back to front with the knees, thighs and hips all starting to move forward. This is the correct instruction for the downswing segment of the golf swing sequence.

Finally at impact the body weight should be on the outside of the forward heel and the inside of the rear foot. This is the only correct golf instruction for this swing sequence.

Seeking out the right instruction to improve your swing sequence is critical. Getting the wrong information is as bad if not worse as keeping your current swing. You've got to choose your instructor wisely.

Don't forget your fitness.

You can't ignore your physical limitations. They ultimately control your destiny. A broken body will NEVER achieve a proper swing sequence, let alone optimal technique. The golf swing is not natural. Your body fights it constantly. This makes it very hard to get it right. The swing seems so simple, and yet is so hard to achieve.

Golf exercises specific to your swing are a very effective way of getting the body to adjust so that it will be a lot easier to master the golf instruction swing sequence.
