So first of all let’s have a look at the benefits about what you can see from a sweeping golf swing. Now generally speaking a sweeping golf swing will try and deliver the club into impact with a very consistent amount of loft, not have too much shuffling over the ball, hit the ball and then just bruise the ground either afterwards or pretty much at the point at impact. This is not a short way you’re going to be using lots of low lofts to hit very penetrating shorts.

So if you’re going to play a links course and hear and into the teeth of the wind, a sweeping motion might not be the best for you. But the advantages that the sweeping golf shaft gives are many especially when you start to get on to the driver. When you start using a sweeping motion with a longer clubs what happens is the angle of attack which is normally going down which through line shafts because the swing center is here. The circular motion that the club takes around the body actually bottoms out after the ball.

What happens with the sweeping motion is that swing center stays a little bit further back and the club passes through impact a lot less aggressively as far as angle of attack is concerned. That gives a higher initial launch, it gives a higher flight, depending on how much you actually strike down, and it can give quite a lot of spin as well. But for a drive it’s a fantastic addition to have because what it allows you to do is hit up on the ball, launch the ball quite high but actually reduce the amount of spin that you’re using because of the relative low amount of loft.

So there’re a lot of advantages to using this sweeping motion. Now let’s have a look at how you can actually apply it to your game.
