Vertical Swing
When swinging vertically, the golf club should become light and easy to wield. When you start turning too much, the club becomes heavy and much more difficult to swing.
Since I released my latest video, The Ultimate Alignment Video, I've gotten many positive responses about how much the video has helped drive home the key points of proper alignment.
You've heard me say before that most clubs today are built too long, especially drivers. It can be hard for shorter golfers to swing these clubs, and even harder to maintain a vertical swing because of the unneeded length.
There has been some confusion regarding the proper vertical position of the club at the top of the backswing. I recently published a daily titled, Picture Worth A Million Words.
I receive a lot of comments and emails praising the Peak Performance Golf Swing. Many times I'll hear how it's enabled golfers to enjoy the game again, whether it's through pain relief or the simplicity of the swing. But, every once in a while I get the other side of the coin.
As I've stated in daily videos in the past, amateur golfers tend to hit the ball out near the toe of the club. That's even why club manufacturers build clubs today with sweet spots out near the toe.
Technology has certainly changed the game of golf. By making clubs that are easier to hit like hybrids, the game has grown and reached more people looking to enjoy the game. Here at Swing Surgeon, we're increasing our base of lady Surgites every week.
I don't have a question to read today. Instead, I've got a statement from Don Keyser about a picture he saw on the website that managed to put the whole swing into the proper perspective for him. What picture you ask?
When you swing a club vertically, you're swinging in harmony with gravity. That's because what goes straight up, comes straight down. When you take a big turn and get really rotational, you're going against the laws of physics and how your body was built to move.
Today I'm going to address a question that I get quite often. Cecil Howell says he's got no problem swinging vertical with his shorter irons, but he struggles with the longer irons and woods. However, this shouldn't be the case because the ball has no idea what club he's got in his hands.
