Swing Transition Tips by PGA Teaching Pro Ged Walters

The transition from backswing into down swing is crucial, but the most crucial point is that we make that movement with the right sequence. The reality is it starts from the ground up. Now for most people when we think about that, it's like, well, how on earth can I start swinging a golf club which is all the way up here from the ground in the downswing?

If we use the idea of how your feet are moving, then that make life a little bit easier and it might make it a little bit more understandable. I'm just gonna get a little closer here for a second. Now, if you look at my feet here now, if I just raised the level of my trousers is that when I move the feet, you can see how the shoes are gripping the ground as I twist from side to side. So if we think about at the top of the backswing, we've rotated and we're twisted this way. If we think about twisting your feet back to the target. So for me to the left, so you see are my ankles and move it around in the shoes.
