So we've had a look at some of the benefits that you can have from a sweeping motion but what are some of the negative effects that could be caused by this? Now with angle of attack and with swing sensor about how the works. If you have a ball which is in a particularly bad lie so whish is sat down and say diver. If you have a sweeping motion what's going to happen is your angle of attack numbers are going to be quite neutral. So you're not going to be hitting on the ball too much and you're going to be hitting pretty much your own level. Now if that ball is sitting below the surface so it's in a bad lie that’s not going to get you striking the ball first and then the turf.

What it's going to get you doing is striking either the ball and the turf exactly at the same time causing a bit of a heavy shock or actually thinning the golf ball. So a sweeping motion and striking down motion the biggest differential between the two or one of the biggest differentials between the two is what happens our club lies. We've already discussed about the differences about what happens in the wind for example, if you're hitting down wind with a sweeping motion you're going to absolutely bum it miles because the spin is not going to be that high, you're going to have lots of carry and then you're going to have lots of roll when it actually lands. Switch that round and then the negative parts of a sweeping golf swing come into play. If you're hitting it back into a wind and you're applying lots of loft at impact, the ball is going to fly very high and it's going to get buffeted around in the wind. There are other aspects that need just sweeping motion the striking down motion actually come into play for example a sweeping motion or some short cheap shot using the bounce of the club a little bit more can help certain plays generate lots of spin and lots of feel. But again if you're in a core right around the grin really try and sweep it out of a dodgy life is in the diver, that won't help either. So there are benefits and there are negatives to having a sweeping motion but the only way to really find out for yourself is to give it a go. 2016-06-10
