Timing The Driver Swing


This video helps players who have problems with their hips lagging through their swing. Bobby (the golf pro in the video) tells me often that if it wasn't for the slice, he'd be out of business. So this is probably one of the biggest issues golfers face in their game.

Wedge Shots

This Wedge System Covers All Distances

Mastering wedge shots in is the key to taking your game to the next level. Wedge shots can make or break a hole. Stick a wedge shot close and you've turned three shots (or more) into two. The challenge is finding a way to cover all the distances you need to cover from 100 yards in with a limited number of wedges. That can be hard. But with the right lofts and the right three-wing system, average players can comfortably cover all the distances they need.

Here are five keys to the three-wedge system:

1. Make sure you have the right lofts
2. Work on three swing lengths
3. Match your swing on both sides
4. Work on maintaining an even tempo
5. Practice. Practice. Practice.

Some players tend to take a full backswing with their wedges and try to control the amount of hit at impact. That's hard to do. If that's you, try this approach instead:

First, make sure the lofts on your wedges are evenly spaced, like 48, 52, and 56. If you have a pitching wedge with 48 degrees of loft and a sand wedge with 58 degrees of loft, there's too much distance between them to use the three-swing system. You'd have to learn too many partial shots.

Second, work on perfecting three swing lengths: half, three-quarter, and full. Include follow-through in this effort and match the swing on both sides. Mirroring your swing allows you to work on perfecting your tempo and still produce different distances without guesswork on the downswing.

Work on hitting shots from the fairway at 15-yard intervals. For example, use a pitching wedge (48 degrees of loft) to hit 75 yards (half-swing), 90 yards (three-quarter swing), and 115 yards (full swing). Do this exercise with your other wedges.

Use the yardage markers on the fairway to help you gauge the distances. Once you've ingrained your swing from different distances, you'll start sticking shots close and improving your golf handicap.

Timing The Golf Swing


After you have reached a point where you feel that you have mastered the mechanics of the swing, you should begin to develop a rhythm for swinging. This is generally referred to as timing. Very little is ever written on timing the swing, compared to the fundamentals of the swing, but I feel it will merit your close attention sooner or later.

Learning to time the swing is like learning to dance or play a musical instrument. You have a certain rhythm or "beat" which you must swing into—and so must you when playing golf. Some players have a fast swing tempo, others a slow one; it all depends upon their physical makeup and habit patterns.

By experimenting and trying different speeds, I have developed a set rhythm of swinging the club. I try to maintain this rhythm with every club, trying not to change the tempo of my swing when I change clubs. Naturally, I am swinging faster with certain clubs, say with the long irons and woods, because I take a fuller body turn with these clubs. Thus, the speed of the clubhead increases with the longer-shafted clubs, owing to a fuller clubhead arc, but the tempo of the swing remains the same. This is an important thing to remember at all times.

The Golf Swing Plane

Only the very good players and top pros fully understand and appreciate this concept of the swing, yet it is tremendously important in the over-all development of a repeating swing. The swing plane encompasses both the backswing and the downswing. How­ever, the angle is slightly different going back and up from when it is coming down and through the ball. The backswing plane is determined by your height, your arms, and the distance you stand from the ball at address. Visualize, if you will, a line running from the ball to the top of your shoulders. The pitch, or angle of this line, is the plane along which the backswing operates.

The plane for the downswing is not as steeply inclined, and it projects slightly outward (inside out) through the ball. To insure that you swing up and down on this swing plane, the body, arms, and hand movement must work in perfect harmony throughout the swing. The movements, particularly the first part of the backswing and the start of the downswing, must function smoothly and correctly so that one part of the swing, for example, the arm movements, does not work separately from the body movements. To stay on the backswing plane, simply swing back in a one-piece action as described previously. Getting on the downswing plane is a little more difficult, however. This movement is more difficult to master, which is one of the prime reasons why many golfers suffer the despair of complete frustration when they attempt to move into the downswing cor­rectly. Actually, the golfer changes planes without thinking about it when he initiates the downswing by turning his hips to the left and toward the target. This moves the body to the left and lowers the right shoulder— this latter movement is a potential swing-wrecker if the shoulder is per­mitted to rush around ahead of the hips. Always remember, the right shoulder works behind and then under your chin, not around and over it.


You can check your swing plane in another way if you have a large mirror. Take a club and swing it to the top of the backswing. If your arms and hands are at a point between your shoulders and head, you are too upright. Conversely, your swing is too flat if your hands and arms are below your shoulder.   The desired position is with your hands directly to the right, or behind your right shoulder at the top of the swing, if you are a right-handed player.

The plane helps form what is known as a "grooved swing." By swinging up and down in this slot position, your swing will take on a consistency that will not only give you confidence but will free you of the mental strain and worry about whether your swing will hold up under pressure. It almost has to, for the movements of the body, arms, and hands are performed almost instinctively during the backswing and downswing.

At the risk of getting ahead of myself, and putting the cart before the horse, there is one more important function of the swing that I would like to discuss here very briefly. It concerns developing a rhythm for swinging, sometimes re­ferred to as "timing."

The Swing Exercise

One of the best methods I have found of developing a smooth, consistent swing is an exercise most golfers use when they warm up before playing a round of golf. It is a simple little maneuver designed to train a golfer to ingrain in his swing the use of only his arms and body instead of his hands. Begin by assuming the address position, and make sure that you are comfortable and relaxed. Then, with the upper part of your arms and elbows in close to your chest, turn your body back so that the arms are about belt high. The left shoulder and left arm are highly instrumental in this turning movement, with both the shoulder and the arm forming a pushing-back type of action.

Next thing to do is swing the arms forward until they are about belt high in front of you, making certain that the lower part of the body, the left hip and left leg start the forward swing, as the arms are swung out toward an imaginary target. The right hand also turns over the left hand as the arms are swung forward. Perform this swing back and forth for a few moments, letting your left knee and right elbow become flexed on the backswing and then your right knee and left elbow on the follow-through. You will soon get the feeling that you are swinging with your legs and hips and that your body is swinging the club. This creates the feeling of the one-piece swing that all of the top players have and the one us amateurs are searching for.

This swing exercise also gives a feeling that you should have when performing a full swing: that of having your body generating the power and your hands applying it, at the last possible second, with a whip like action of the wrists and hands. If you have entrusted your swing movements to your body and arms, the hands will automatically lash out and whip the club head through the ball with terrific accelerating speed. This is what ultimately creates the power and therefore the distance
The average golfer, however, courts disaster if he becomes too conscious of his hand action through the ball. That is why this swing exercise is so important, because it will teach you every fundamental movement in the swing without too much of a mental effort on your part.

If you will practice this swing—the right way—for five or ten minutes a day for six months, you will be surprised at your progress in developing a fundamentally sound swing.

Another reason it is so important to you is that it makes the swing perform automatically. After a while, your swing becomes less and less a conscious effort and your reflexes take over. The great players of today swing almost totally by masterfully controlled reflex actions in which they do their shot planning behind the ball; then they step up and hit it without thinking too much, because they have committed their swing to "muscle memory." In the long run, the closer you can come to making your swing a reflex action, the better player you will become.

My advice in this regard is to make a thorough and search for a swing that is completely natural for you and which embraces the fundamentals. Then stick with it.
