For your short iron hits your backswing is not as long as it isfor your longer irons and woods. One conscious move, donecorrectly, is all you need to get your golf club far enough awayfrom the ball from where you can apply the desired hitting force.However, there is an important "but".
Oh yes! Along with the "one conscious move" there is a wholebunch of "don't move this and that". But, don't think you haveto remember all the "don't moves".
They are remembered by thethought of "controlled body movement". By following the instructions of control and movement in myupcoming putting and swing modules, you will automatically bedoing a ‘one-piece takeaway'.
In fact, I have designed a puttingmethod which uses the first inch or two of the takeaway movementof your basic chipping, pitching, and full swing skills. Amazing! You can practice the early part of your ‘one-piecetakeaway' by learning and using my putting technique.
The instructions which tell you how to do the one piece takeawayare in Part 2 of this title. But, first....
Some Body Awareness Stuff When you stand at ease in your attention position your body,arms, legs, and head have a beginning, natural position to eachother. There are basic movements which you can do which willmaintain most of your natural body position.
Three of thesemovements are: 1. Bending forward at your hips 2.
Bending your knees evenly 3. Reaching your arms forward from your shoulders (Hmmm! Do these 3 movements or positions remind you of somethingyou do when you golf? Or when you see other people golf?) When you swing your golf club you will do one or more movementswhich cause part of you to move away from your natural bodyposition.
If you keep these unnatural movements to a minimumyou will have far less trouble with your golf swing. It is easy to recognize unnatural movements.
Think of howcomfortable you are in a standing position without being rigid.When you make any movement from this position you will use somemuscles. You will feel less comfortable, even though somemovements are done within an acceptable range of comfort.
As you read this try a variety of bending or turning movementsin various parts of your body. You will find some which areharder to do and which feel quite uncomfortable.
Hold both comfortable movements and uncomfortable movements ata position away from your starting position. You will becomeaware that within seconds it becomes harder to hold thesepositions.
Now, make a comfortable movement to a comfortable position andhold it. While in this position try a second movement.
Thinkabout how hard it is to maintain the first position while youdo the second movement. Repeat this idea by firstly moving intoan uncomfortable position to begin this test.
The final test is to hold your left thumb with your right handand then try a variety of movements. It does not matter if theyare golf related movements or not.
Your hands and arms will bein the same position as they are when you hold a golf club. Asyou experiment with a variety of movements ask yourself: * Does this feel comfortable? * Does this feel uncomfortable? * For how long does a test movement feel comfortable? * When does a test movement begin to feel uncomfortable? * Does a test movement change the pressure of how you hold yourthumb? * Does one part of your body begin to feel uncomfortable as youmove another part of your body? Let your thoughts wander around trying different variationsof this test to find positions and movements which feelcomfortable or uncomfortable.
This test will help you to learn more about movements relatedto your putting and golf swing. When you begin to follow myinstructions involving basic body movements and control youwill be more aware of your positions and movements which arecomfortable or not.
The goal is to guide your golf movements towards total comfortand control. This includes being comfortable during and at theend of the movement you are doing.
Incredibly, you will findthat you will be establishing takeaway motions which will giveyou a feeling of weakness but which set you up for explosiveand accurate power in the return part of your golf swing. Do You Get Tired While You Golf? Here's What Might Be Happening! No matter what your physical strengths are you will experiencesome level of tiredness as you play the last few holes of yourround of golf.
You may not notice this tiredness if you arefairly strong. But, it will occur in the "small" muscles usedto control your swing movements.
You will be using one or more movements which take part of yourbody, arms, or hands out of their natural alignment. Tiredmuscles will make it more difficult to either maintain unnaturalpositions or make it more difficult to do the adjustments builtinto your swing which control unnatural body positions.
The first collapse in this scenario will be that your timingof 2 or more movements will fail. You will feel awkward or weakduring a golf shot.
Often, you will blame some technical partof your swing such as your grip or weight shift or whatever.As you become more tired you will have problems doing one ormore of your takeaway movements. The result is a poor golf swing.
A Move Which Can Cause An Unwanted Move(Pictures and video clips are shown at my websitehttp://basicbodymovementforanygolfswing.com/onepiecetakeaway.htmlMany golfers have learned to rotate their hands to begin theirtakeaway or backswing movement. When you rotate your hands you also rotate your forearms.
Thiscauses pressure in your elbows and shoulders as your forearmsmove out of their natural position to your body. This turn of your hands can be a contributing factor in "theflying elbow" movement.
("Flying elbow" is the name given tothe "flaring outward" of the right elbow from the body as youraise your arms, hands, and club part way through your takeaway.Left elbow for left-handers.) When you begin to lift your arms you feel additional pressureat your shoulders and elbows. As well, you are trying to positionthe golf club in the ideal parallel position to the target line.Moving your elbow out from your body is the easiest way torelieve the pressure and to align your club at the top of yourtakeaway.
If you do not move your elbow sideways from your body you willhave to develop an opposite turn of your hands and forearms toremove the discomfort and to align your golf club for a betterswing back to the ball. This opposite rotation of your hands andforearms starts part way through your takeaway --- about the timeany movement is reaching the end of its comfort zone.
Movementsbecome difficult and the harmony of movements suffers. Thishappens more often as fatigue sets in near the end of a round.
True. Golfers are successfully doing this corrective move.
But,it is an additional movement in their takeaway which has to bedone in time or in harmony with other movements. Any additionalor unnecessary movements take time to do.
OR, they occupy someof your swing thoughts. You can add these movements if you think they will help your"grooved swing".
But, you must understand that you will haveto practice more often just to maintain your harmony of moremovements. You must realize that if you start getting poorresults with your swing that the early stages of the problemmost likely will be a breakdown of your timing and not somefault of a part of your swing movements.
Here are the movements in this example: * Turning your hands * Turning your upper body * Lifting your arms * Moving your elbow sideways OR * Turning your hands the opposite way from the first movein this list. This is a lot of work just to get the golf club far enough awaywhere you can generate a desired blow on the ball.
