Learn more on the Perfect Swing

A perfect swing is one that involves a lot of physical as well as mental factors. Sometimes, emotional factors can also help you do well provided you keep your emotions balanced. Physical factors mean the uninhibited coordination of the body with the movement necessary for a perfect swing.

Sometimes tiredness, stiffness, pain towards your shoulders, back muscles etc. may be limiting factors that restrict you from taking a perfect swing. Your body must take the right moves along with the club to give you a perfect swing.

Transfer of Weight

The swing commands an immediate transfer of weight from your balanced, transfixed position to the sudden impact on your right leg (for right-handers). The one second pause of the movement at maximum height of the back-lift of the club is where your downswing starts to connect with the ball and hit. It is the transfer of weight that helps the club upwards and it is the release of the weight that helps the club downwards.

The chin tuck

While the club moves upwards increasingly to the top, the left or the leading shoulder comes closer to the chin embracing and caressing each other and this movement forces the transfer of weight as well as the movement of the body towards the opposite of the target. These movements are subtle and are not very overt. They are obliviously felt and noticed by others.

Ease yourself up now!

If the chin tuck is taken as the middle phase of an upswing, before the one second pause of the club on the air before the downward movement starts. After this movement, the pressure releases on from the lift or the upward swing and eases down with the force created by the power with which the swing is taken and this force turns vital for the impact on the ball.

Nevertheless, this is a controlled release of pressure from your arms and not a fully free flowing one. You return to the normal addressing position as well during the downward movement with your knees and feet straightening up.

Making Contact

While making contact, you fully return to the position you took first. Naturally, all the parts that coordinated the upward and downward movement come back to the same position as in the beginning. The flow of the swing downwards will do the magic and after the impact, the contact or the hit, a nice follow through accompanies up to your front shoulder which is indicative of the perfect swing that is taken!
