The secret to Jake Knapp’s swing #golfcoach #golf #golftechnique #golfswing #golflesson

What is the secret to Jake Knap’s effortless looking swing that generates a ton of power? Now, Jake swings it and it looks so slow, so fluid, yet is one of the furthest hitters on tour. How does he do this? It actually comes from Jake’s focus on rhythm and how he transitions the golf club from his back swing to his down swing. So, the common fault you see with amateurs is that from the top of their back swing, they are then very fast to try and spin open and to hit the ball. Watch Jake as he gets towards the top of his back swing. He is allowing the club to naturally drop down with gravity. As he loads into his front leg, he uses the ground for power and he allows gravity to load the club before exploding out and whipping the club through the impact zone. So, how do you achieve this in your back swing? You need to have patience. All right? All right. And that sounds like a really crappy tip, but you need to be patient from the back swing. We don’t want to be rushing to hit the ball. It’s going to feel like you are going almost in slow motion as you are reaching the top of your back swing. We want to have time to allow us to feel like we are getting our pressure into our lead leg and that we allowing the club to load properly before we explode up using the ground and throw the club through the impact zone. So, the drill to help you not be so quick, we are going to focus on doing a pause drill. If you can master this, it will really highlight for you when you’re being jerky in your swing. I want you to hit shots pausing at the top of your back swing. It’s only for a split second, and it may not look like much, but it will feel like a ton of time. What this teaches us is patience to not fire immediately from the top of the back swing. If you can master pausing and then hitting the ball, you are going to have a much more smoother rhythm in your swing. And if you are then jerky and too quick, it’s going to feel horrible. Master this drill. Stop being so rushed from the top and allow yourself to swing more smoothly and generate more effortless
