Let's talk about the transition in the golf swing. Now at the moment at the top of the back swing where we change direction there's a lot said on the Internet and in books and so on and players different interpretation of what actually goes on and sometimes this can be made much more complex than it really is. Think of it as other sports as metaphors if you are going to throw a javelin would you be thinking that much about your transition of throwing your arm back loaded the body and you're going to step into it, and notice how my lower body is leaning out and pulling my levers along the same. If you're playing baseball stepping into it the lower body is pulling if I asked you what moves first it's actually a little bit of everything in not just thinking well it's my foot it's my knee it is synchronizing everything throwing a ball throwing a javelin any of these ballistic hitting and throwing motions the movements the same so the same happens in the golf swing. As with swinging back at some point the torque is being created and we're running out of arm swing and the body is going to change direction I'd like you to think of it as about a 10 percent shift 90 percent turn.
So when I've go to the top my hips and lower body are going to bump towards the target about 10 percent and then I'm going to rotate that's going to create some force and spring that club out into the ball so that transition you want to perfecting it becomes more seamless. Just like throwing a javelin or playing baseball you can really over complicated and if you get to the top and then run off with your body you're leaving your arms behind or if you start your body too early you're leaving the body behind. So you've got that little bump as Ernie Els calls it and it got to the top that little bump a little shift then a turn perfected here so that feels more seamless, and don't think of it particularly as one little bit. Think of it as several bits all joined up together if you can get that transition right you wait and the force is going to be moving effectively and it shouldn't be as complicated as many people make out let's give that a little try. A nice smooth swing changes direction from the top great right over the flag. So keep it smooth don't complicate it if you do that you transition will become very seamless and nice and sophisticated.
