What Is This Pete Cowen Drill REALLY about?

Everybody talks about the golf swing sequence… Feet. Hips. Torso. Arms. Club. But what actually STARTS that sequence in the first place? In this video I break down a Pete Cowen drill that I’ve seen for years but never fully understood… until I started looking deeper into shaft deflection, resistance, and how the body reacts to force. Using the GForce Swing Trainer and GEARS data, we can actually see the golf shaft loading incredibly early in the backswing — BEFORE the hips even start unwinding. This changes everything. We cover: • Early shaft loading and shaft deflection • Why the hands may trigger the downswing • How resistance creates natural ground reaction forces • Why “pulling” the club maintains lag and sequence • The hidden role of the golf shaft in body motion • Why this Pete Cowen drill may be training something most golfers completely miss The more I study this, the more I believe the body is reacting to forces created by the club — not just consciously firing from the ground up. Watch until the end and let me know your thoughts in the comments. #GolfSwing #PeteCowen #GForceGolf #GolfInstruction #ShaftLoad #Lag #GroundReactionForce #GEARSGolf #GolfTips #GolfTraining
