Let Gravity Work

Janet asked a question on the blog the other day about focusing too much on making the bump happen. She got several good responses. One of them brought up another good point about arm extension at impact.

While we can focus on different parts of the swing, the best advice I can give, as others have, is to just let it happen. The arms should extend completely at and through impact, finally folding at the T-Finish. As upright swingers, that extension will occur because we'€™re taking full advantage of the laws of physics, one of which, in the case, is gravity.

Remember, gravity is free. Take advantage of it in your down and forward up swing. The weight of the club plus gravity will lead us naturally to the bump and arm extension at impact. It'€™s another something you don'€™t have to think about in the Surge Swing. Just allow gravity to work '€¦ and you work on where you want the ball to go.
