More Power - Speed From the Ground Up

Most golfers want to hit the ball further. The benefits are many, including having the ability to reach the greens in fewer shots and importantly, be able to stop approach shots on firm greens. Biomechanics show that the most efficient way to deliver clubhead speed, is by accelerating from the ground up. To generate the most speed, the hips should begin their rotation in the downswing first. The trunk rotates next, followed by the downward movement of the arms and finally, the golf club accelerates. If a player makes the mistake of beginning the downswing with the arms and shoulders, there is a loss of power. The kinetic chain is inefficient and speed is lost. This is why many golfers are unable to increase clubhead speed when they ‘swing harder’. These two very effective drills are designed to help you initiate your downswing with the lower half of the body. The first drill helps to generate more downward pressure in the downswing - increased ground force energy. This transfers into explosive 'jumping' speed through impact. The second drill is to eliminate early extension. This creates more space for the golfer and improves forward rotation in the downswing. Start slowly with these drills. Proceed in stages when you are ready. If you try to perform either of these drills at full speed from the start, you’ll likely find it difficult to sequence the swing. Be patient!

Skill Development vs Technical Changes Although technique is an important factor of a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice protocols. External Focus of Attention Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common instruction includes advice such us increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These factors of the golf swing, are considered important for many golfers and teachers. However, as they are focused internally, on body movements, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process. Enter the world of External Focus of Attention. This means that a golfer focuses on the target, the ball, the clubhead - objects which are external to the body. The sciences involving Motor Skill Learning have proven that by employing an External Focus of Attention, sports men and women learn new moves more quickly, retain changes readily and can perform better under pressure. All of the Aussie Golf Pros coaching, drills and advice for clients and viewers, involve an External Focus of Attention and the results can be astonishing!
