The golf swing transition is the swing sequence that sees you starting to bring the club down into the downswing and ultimately towards impact with the ball. Mistakes here can throw your swing into a less desirable club path and with it a ball flight with a lot of side spin (slices).
In this video you will learn how to correctly start to bring the club down to shield you from slicing the ball and to gain distance in your golf shots. You will learn that the downswing is not initiated by your hands or your shoulders but rather with your legs and your hips. You will also learn to drop your right shoulder which in essence will shallow the club. Follow these golf tips for your downswing.
When you reach the top of the swing you might wonder how to start the downswing. Are the hands first in initiating the downswing or is it the shoulders? Actually, it is neither. The downswing should begin with your legs and hips moving and opening up towards the target slightly. Careful that you don’t over do it as that might lead you to the swaying golf swing error, where the hips slide too far forward during the downswing (and/or slide too far back during the backswing).
At the same time and as far as the upper body is concerned you should drop the right shoulder slightly which in essence will shallow the golf club. This last movement should help ensure that you are bringing the club down in more or less the same swing path that you used to bring the club up. It should also help shield you from the outside-in club path that will produce sidespin associated with a slice.
If you allow your wrists to flick the club during the downswing you will fail to properly hit down on the ball in what is referred to as scooping the ball (or flipping the club). Ultimately, this timing issue will result in a loss of power in your golf shots, a loss of direction and a ball flight that will go from left to right which is typical of a slice.
