    I have always heard that "separation", whereby you begin to transfer weight to the forward foot BEFORE you complete the backswing, creates more swing speed and therefore distance. So pausing does not maximize your potential. Nevertheless, I tend to pause a moment just because it helps me to stay on plane better, and therefore be more consistent. Also, I think you have to be more athletic/coordinated to create separation.

    If you want my opinion, the pause methode is more easily to execute for amateurs or bogey golfers. It is like skiing. As an amateur skier, I could drive down the famous Kitzbühel Downhill. It is not a big deal. But I could not do it in the style and the way the pros do it because I don´t have the skills, the flexibility and the power in the muscles. If I did it like the pros, I maybe would hurt or kill myself.

    Thanks Steve. Lately, I'm trying to pause at the top, because otherwise I have a problem with rushing the transition, which messes up my sequencing. I hit the ball more solidly if if I adopt a pause at the top swing key.

    Another well done vid Steve. I practice the “pause” method. Others would/could argue that the “no pause” creates more “lag”. I think it’s an illusion. My jury is still out on that. It doesn’t really work FOR ME.

    Interesting observations! Personally I'll intentionally try to pause during practice as I've heard Fred Couples does. It's just a way to make sure I'm starting the downswing with my lower body and not with the arms. When I play I focus on making sure my wrists are hinging but not a full pause. I find if I let the wrists hinge and can feel the weight of the club my shots are more consistent.

    No tour player ‘pauses’ at the top of the swing. The body is in constant motion throughout the swing. It’s very misleading to describe it this way.
