| THE ROAD TO IMPACT (Tom Patri) | |||
|
I call transition, that is, when the
back swing
ends and the downswing begins, "the fork in the
road." This, I feel, needs to be a very patient, quiet moment. This
is the moment when most players try to add a little something to their
effort and destroy the very fragile sequence that leads to impact.
Remember, the road to impact is a very gradual increase in speed, never
sudden!
Golf is a target game and the ball is placed at midpoint in the motion. In other words, when the club head reaches the ball, the motion is only half over. Players who direct their focus to completing their motion to finish are swingers. I like to teach complete motions to full balanced finishes. I see this thought of completion producing the best results. The ball is simply midpoint. A great tip when taking a golf lesson or any motor skill instruction: "One inch is a mile." Don't try to over do or over try. Golf instruction takes time and repetition. Don't go to extremes. Often slight changes in your physical movement will cause huge ball flight changes. |
