Different clubs require different swings. Your wedge, for example, requires a “steeper” swing than your 4I. Your driver and 3W require the sweeping swing of all.
The bottom of a sweeping swing is very flat – the club is just above the ground for two or three feet. To ingrain the feeling of keeping the club low to the ground for a long period of time, imagine swinging your driver under a hedge – don’t clip the wood chips or dirt, and don’t clip the leaves or branches above.
This works well for your driver, 3W, and long irons, but is difficult to manage with mid and short irons.
Food for thought – Pipeline Murray “Moe” Norman was considered the straightest hitter of the golf ball ever. Jack Kuykendall, a top 100 instructor, was able to finally describe Moe’s stroke through his Natural Golf method which eventually evolved into Lever Power Golf. Both are versions of the single axis swing method and both men would disagree with the conventional or traditional thinking that different clubs require different swings. Moe always used a sweeping swing. In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, he never took a divot. The only club requiring a different swing is the putter.
No, that’s not quite what I’m saying. The longer clubs have a much longer “flat spot” because their circumference, radius, etc. is so much longer.
OK, Thanks.
