Thanks for that - I'll take a look. I joined only recently and I'm still finding my way around.....

I was director and professor of sports science at Bath University, UK. I've now retired and I write scientific books on sport. My first is is on the golf swing! thegolfswingzone.com  

The original post actually focussed on two things - what to practise, and how to practise. Much of the debate (in fact nearly all of it - from just a skip-read...) has focussed on the 'what'. Given limited practice time, most people...

The 'trick' might be to simply think of keeping the hips 'quiet' during the downswing and then 'square at impact'. The reasons for this are:   1. The downswing is undobtedly a rotational action and the hips certainly have to...

Your problem will go away once you start believing that power/distance/clubhead speed doesn't come from the strength of your arms. A good first step would be to find a clear explanation of the 'biokinetic chain' and understand how it...

I've only skip-read through this thread but what seems to be missing is what we should actually do (i.e. focus on mentally) during the downswing.   1. If we focus on accelerating body parts through impact, then we run the risk...

One thing that often happens on the range is that we think more 'internally' - about technique. Thinking internally disrupts a fluid swing and makes it more 'jerky'. We forget to think about the clubhead, the ball flight, or the target...

iacas - no problem.... We actually agree about the mechanics - a stable hub/head is important for a rotary action and a wandering head will ruin it. My point was not about what to do but on how to do it - the skill-learning...

Thanks for the above two comments... I'm well into my 60's - I'm skinny and not very strong. I find a tight radius gives considerably more power. A bigger, younger, stronger guy can use their muscles to generate power very...
