Controlling Power

Thu, 10/28/2010 - 09:00 -- Don Trahan

When you try to muscle your way through your golf swing, strange things can happen, like hitting it off the planet. My student Rob, a professional golfer now playing mini tours, had that problem.

Is there such a thing as too much power? It may seem counter intuitive, but the answer is “yes.” What happens is that when you try to use all your power to gain clubhead speed, more often than not, you'll lose something even more important: balance. You're also likely to mess up your limited turn and follow through.

My conversation with Rob at the PGA Learning Center is, I think, a real eye opener.

The Surge!
