| Rhythm is a very important part of a good golf | | | | because you can turn your shoulders 90 degrees or |
| swing. But what is the key to finding good rhythm | | | | more there is no reason you have to. Why not stop |
| every day?Your golf swing should be looked at in | | | | a little short of that while you still have control over |
| three parts. Your lower body, arms, and upper body. | | | | how far you have turned?By controlling your shoulder |
| If all three of these are not in sync with each other, | | | | turn, your legs and hips will not be pulled past what |
| you have one of those days when you have no idea | | | | you can control.You can also swing your arms back a |
| where the ball is going.When the three parts work | | | | lot further than you need to. There is no reason the |
| together correctly, you have the days when your | | | | average player should swing their arms past 10 |
| swing feels effortless and you hit everything solidly.If | | | | oclock on the backswing. In my opinion, the |
| any of the parts are moving faster or slower than | | | | overswinging of the arms is the number one reason |
| the others, you are not swinging in sync. Each of the | | | | the average golfer still can't break 90.Instead of |
| body parts must be moving at a speed that will allow | | | | trying to make your golf swing as long as it can be, |
| it to complete its movement at the same time as | | | | make it as long as you can control. You will not |
| the others.The arms have the farthest to go, so | | | | overdo any part of the swing if you stop short of |
| they swing the fastest. Your shoulders will turn | | | | what your limitations are.Exceeding the limitations of |
| faster than your hips as well. Each part has its own | | | | your control is the main reason that your swing gets |
| speed and path, but it should feel as if all three are | | | | out of sync. The gifted players you see on TV can |
| moving at the same speed.All three parts of the | | | | swing long and get away with it because of their |
| body will have a set motion for the swing. The | | | | talent. The average guy doesn't stand a chance if he |
| problems arise when one part of your body | | | | tries to swing like Phil Mickelson.Control the three |
| completes a part of the swing before the others. For | | | | parts of your body as far as the distance they each |
| the most part, this is caused by swinging yourself | | | | travel and they will respond by working better |
| into a position you can no longer control.The best | | | | together to produce power and consistency while |
| way to control all three parts of the swing is to stay | | | | remaining in sync with each other. |
| well under the maximums your body can do.Just | | | | |
