If you now have built yourself a really nice setup in the foundations and you've turned yourself into a good position at the top of the back swing. I guess now the question is “What's the magic order for this downswing, and how does everything work?” Now the crucial part of a this pretty much everything builds would you know there's an all full lot of moving parts in the talk about back swing to get you in fact particularly to get you into impact with the most efficient and powerful way of doing. So now to explain each individual component to a golfer can sometimes be quite awkward so what I like to work on the sort of larger scale ideas of if you do this in another sport is how you can apply it to golf and I think one of the easiest ways of ever come across the explaining to somebody the order of the downswing is imagine that you're throwing all skimming a stone. If you have to go to the lake or the beach and you skim a score skim a stone across the like it's that simple right there.
So to skim a stone we plan tile sells nicely bring the arm back and then from here it's a sliding on a rotation and opening up and then the ground comes through what we often see with golf is that the hand would come through and then the body would come through and that really lacks any timing. So if I was to skim a stone down here I'd stand side on take a little movement in and then open my body up and we'd get back to action in a golf swing we get a largely similar. Coming through what we actually see there is that from the top of the back swing it starts from the left hip it doesn't start up here. Now here near the club but now in my hands starts with the left hip left hip goes very slightly laterally big opening up to the hips. Now what happens is that moves that way he can see my hands and arms of dropping down into position they don't stay up here it's almost impossible to keep the hips will move and open the hands will drop into position then the body in the shoulders can start to unwind then the hands can really crack through the impact position not generate the max amount of club head speed if we swing to the top and fire him. Then the body the club won't be going as fast as it could be but if we get to the top and hit send round then we're going to be really well I do stress the hips move slightly across and then a big rotation if they slide too much across you'll actually lose club head speed and again lose contact. So it's not feeling of bump, and release all the way through practice skimming a stone to improve your goals downswing sequencing.
