There is an important moment in time with anyone’s golf swing, where most of the mistakes are made for some golfers, and that usually happens in the transition. The difference between the backswing and the downswing is what we are going to call the transition, and it isn’t necessarily one fixed point because different parts of the body can start the transition at different times. So we’ll see a golfer set up to the golf ball quite nicely, swing up to the top and everything’s looking really good all the way to the top and then suddenly things will go wrong at that point there and we term that the transition.

Now as a golfer, if you can get your transition between your backswing and your downswing right, you will feel you got a more powerful, more consistent and more controlled golf swing, which is obviously going to have superior benefits to what the golf ball does here. So in these next little videos, we are going to look at this transition, the faults, the corrections and how things can help you. But just be very conscious that this is the video for you, if you feel like you struggle with the over-the-top motion, for a lot of golfers the over-the-top motion will lead to a weak slicing golf shot or even a shanked golf shot. So if you are setting up to the ball well, everything looks good and then something goes wrong here when you come down incorrectly, we’d often suggest that your fault lies in transition. So hopefully this next little mini series of videos is going to help you understand how that transition is important and how it can improve in your game.
