Jones to Greatness whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just getting started this is the ultimate complete guide to elevate your game here he is gu kby study and concentration but you can see that he isn’t comfortable the very effort he is making to arrange everything exactly right is
Making his job more difficult if there is a watch word or slogan which a go ought always to remember it is avoid tension and it is at the very beginning of the swing before the action is commenced that he is most likely to tighten up if he tries too hard to
Assume any prescribed or perfectly definite posture he is not likely to be free from strain his first position should be as natural and comfortable as he can possibly make it in addressing the ball the body is held fairly erect and the arms hang down naturally from the shoulders not extended too much nor
Cramped in against the side of the body the weight should be about evenly distributed on the balls of the two feet the knees should be slightly bent and the whole attitude should be one of a lightness from which easy movement in any direction is possible relaxed muscles can move
Quickly and easily taau muscles cannot the golf swing requires quick muscular responses in order to produce a smooth flow of movement and to assure a perfect balance of the body even when the action becomes very rapid it seems a little thing but it is a fact fact that the
Player’s approach to the ball can assist him greatly in Falling comfortably into a relaxed posture continuous movement allows no time for the muscles to set here is a first step having approached to just a sufficient distance from the ball so that the club can reach it
Easily the club is grounded so that it will fish a measure of the distance from the player to the ball when he steps into position they look towards the hole or down the Fairway and the left foot swings into position the proper line has been determined the placing of this foot
Fixes the player’s location with respect to the ball The Stance is completed when the right foot drops back into position meanwhile one leisurely waggle and a little twist of the hips to break up whatever tension may have crept in and away we go oh there are certain features of
Stance and P Ure which must be arranged before correct swing can be accomplished the requirements are never so precise that they cannot be adjusted to the needs of the individual the average golfer RAR completes the hip turn during the back swing largely because he has not made
Provision for it at the start when he spreads his feet and sets himself he destroys his ability to turn standing in this way with both both toes turn slightly outward and the feet not too far apart the hip turn can be made quite easily a tremendous amount of power can
Be obtained from a full wind up of the hips and this is only possible when The Stance and posture are so arrange that there’s perfect Freedom around the waist the lag and foot movement which makes this full turn possible is a thing which the average golfer rarely trusts himself to
Attemp it is easier to continue a movement once begun that it is to make the beginning so in order to encourage the hips to turn during the back swing they are called on to originate the movement the club must be swung back and not merely picked up by the hands and
Arms and the thing which makes it a swing is a push backward by the left side and arm just when the swing is ready to start back there appears a queer little movement of the hips and legs which is usually referred to as a forward press the hips twist forward a bit before
Beginning that turn away from the ball this is added insurance against tension and a means of starting the hips to moving you’ve probably seen this position a number of times particularly with beginners it’s result of moving the head backward during the back swing and transferring all the weight to the right
Foot the other common fault is to leave too much weight on the left foot during the back swing in this way so that when the downswing is attempted all the weight goes back to the right foot I find it very helpful in order to assure a proper handling of the body
During the back swing to feel that the weight rolls off the left foot over to the inside of the foot like this at the same time the left knee bends and moves over towards the right and the right leg begins to straighten as the hip on that side is thrust
Backward not all of the weight is transposed to the right foot but the the player has stayed back of the ball where he can move his body into the swing as he hits through if the weight moves towards the toe of the left foot and the knee bends
In this way the player will arrive at the top of his swing with too much weight on that foot the chief trouble with guy here is that he does not swing the club back in the manner I’ve described instead he quite definitely lifts it up and when he
Attempts to hit the ball his body is moving away from It Bill you’re trouble like most average golfers is that you don’t use your body properly you don’t get enough power out of the muscles in your back you try to turn your hips and body but it is plain that you don’t quite understand how to convert the body turn into Club head
Speed obviously Bill the immediate cause of your trouble is the way in which you swing the club through that is in the way you hit the ball but it’s useless to try to correct that until we’re certain that what goes before is all right the average golfer argues that the back
Swing makes little difference because he does not hit the ball with his back swing but the answer is easy that he can’t swing through correctly unless his swing back brings him into a correct posture consistency in golf depends directly upon form an unsound swing may work well enough on occasions but
Soundness of method is the only key to Reliable performance a proper position at the top of the Swing is wor some study in order to make clear what the back swing should accomplish to show the full extent of the backward wind up two positions would have to be used because
There’s no point at which all parts of the Swing stop going up and begin to come down the hips actually move forward while the club is still going back for this reason it is likely to be misleading to draw too definitely a line of separation between back swing and
Downswing the two should be mged as nearly as possible into one nevertheless it is possible to stop a continuous motion long enough to examine a position through which it passes the important points here are the wind up of the hips and body the extension of the left arm and the
Of the wrist indicated by the angle between the left arm and the shaft of the club now let’s see how the back swing arrives at these positions addressing the ball as I do about opposite the toe or InStep of the left foot there’s no perceptible lateral movement of the hips during the back
Swing I’m already well behind the ball where I can move into the shot as I swing through the T of the body takes place approximately around the spine as an axis and the head does not move appreciably either sidewise or in an up and down Direction many players make the mistake
Of ducking or lowering the left shoulder during the back swing this shoulder does move around under the chin but it does so naturally as the body turns on an inclined axis in completing the turn of the hips the weight moves forward to the inside of the toe of the left foot and backward
To the outside of the heel of the right foot the T should be continued until a real stretch is felt in the right leg the extension of the left arm limits the width of the Ark which the back swing can follow if the left arm is not
Tau its extension is indefinite and the swing may go anywhere but if it is fully extended The Arc of the Swing will be as wide and therefore as long as possible allowing the greatest time to gain speed before impact the left arm must be straight at impact it is possible to straighten it
During the downswing but the more sighten and therefore more consistent method is to keep it reasonably straight from the start the best way to assure a full extension of the left arm is to use it in pushing the club back not independently of the body turn but
Assisted by the movement of the entire left side the movement of the right arm during the first part of the back swing indicates quite clearly that it is taking little part in the action but then after swinging round it begins to help in lifting the club over the
Shoulder the elbow is drawn away from the side of the body but it remains below the club and never appears likely to begin flapping like the wing of a frightened bird the most serious single mistake you make dick is in failing to start your weight moving toward your left foot before you
Begin to turn your hips watch how your body moves away from the ball as you hit it good form in gol means efficiency the art or science of expanding upon the ball all of the energy of the swing without waste in order to accomplish this ideal it is necessary that every
Movement of the Swing contribute its bit towards accelerating the club head the swing can never be entirely efficient unless all parts are working together the function of the back swing is to wind up the mechanism to store up power and to do it in such a way that the
Transition from upswing to downswing can be accomplished smoothly and without interruption it is the business of the down swing to use this stored up energy in the most effective way possible in turning it into a well-directed well-timed blow if the down swing should be started with the hands or arms so that either
Should Forge ahead of the hip turn the extension up the left side would be destroyed and the effect of the unwinding of the body would be lost it would be like pulling with a slack rope the ideal in order to produce a straight flying shot is to strike a true blow directed
Exactly towards the objective but the right hand can and very often does play Havoc with this intention the average golfer has difficulty in subduing this hand sufficiently at the top of the Swing when he turns himself loose to hit hard the natural impulse is to hit with it from the top of the
Swing but the correct movement keeps a swing well inside the line of flight once it can strike the ball squarely in the back instead of forcing the club to swing over and cut across the ball from the outside the right arm should drop straight down almost as one piece until
The elbow is again close to the side of the body there must be no attempt to throw the club head from the top of the swing with the hands and wrists they must be saved for use later on the first movement of the downswing is a lateral movement of the hips
Forward towards the hole or other objective the wind up of the hips during the back swing has turned the body around until the back is almost Square to the direction of plate the shift forward takes place before any turning movement is evident it is only a matter
Of a few inches but it serves to start the flow of weight in the right direction the backward turn away from the ball is started from the left foot but the forward movement originates with a push off the right foot the entire body moves a little bit forward before the hips begin
Unwind these little discs in the horizontal line will help us to examine the transition from upswing to downswing which makes the whole business one continuous motion at this point the wind up of the hips has been completed but the club is still going back and the wrists have not attained their full
Angle of cocking between this position and the next stop three important things will happen the hips will will shift forward until a part of the white disc will be covered the club head will drop below the horizontal line and the hands will rise slightly above the head the midsection of the body has
Started back towards the ball before the back swing of the club has been completed a pronounced stretching is felt up the left side from the hip to the hands the Rope has been pulled to it and now the Turning movement of the hips can have its effect directly upon the
Club that the wrists have kept it relaxed and have responded to the movement is shown by the more acute angle between the left arm and the shaft of the club this stretch from left hip to left hand is necessary in order to communicate the movement of the hips and
Waist to the club head during the first part of the downswing the shoulders arms and Club move as one piece and the full angle at which the wrists have been cocked is retained the pull exited from the left hip as the unwinding progresses is quite definitely felt the downswing develops a very high
Speed by the time it reaches a ball but the acceleration should be gradual in order to retain control and preserve balance it helps a lot to realize that there is plenty of time a back swing of ample length and a leisurely start downward will avoid a peck of
Trouble the import thing to remember in all this is that the body must move into the stroke and contribute to its power under no circumstances should the weight be moving backward as the club is coming down before we go any further I want to be absolutely sure that no
Golfer who has seen this picture will fail to appreciate the importance of starting the downswing in the manner I’ve have described by moving the hips first this order of movement is a part of the method of every first class golfer whose swing I’ve examined and in
My own case I can say quite definitely that it is almost a determining factor in my game when I’m playing badly I can usually find the trouble right Here H how you going oh not so well did you see that last shot saw your swing slice didn’t yeah sure how’d you know stayed back on your right foot too long what stayed back on your right foot too long dog gone that’s what that old’s
Been telling me to do for the last 16 hoes well h i shouldn’t blame it all on OD if you’d stop to think you’d realize you can’t get any power in the stroke unless you move your weight with the swing you know the critical part of the
Swing takes place in that fraction of a second during which the club and ball and contact if everything is all right then the shot will be good the only reason we bother with form and the correct swing is to find the best way of consistently bringing about the proper
Set of conditions at impact it helps a great deal both to the understanding of the correct swing and the accomplishment of it to have a clear picture of what ought to be happening at this instant there are three important conditions which have to be fulfilled at the instant of impact in order to
Produce a perfect straight flying shot they are first that the face of the club should be aligned truly to the hole or other objective second that the club head should be moving exactly along the line of the intended Flight of the ball and third that the club should be
Traveling at its maximum speed in other words that the stroke should be well timed the alignment of the face of the club is one of those things which are controlled almost entirely subconsciously if the fingers maintained throughout the swing a positive though relaxed hold upon the club so that it
Cannot turn in the hands the swinging of the club along the proper line and the correct timing of the stroke will of themselves bring the face of the club up Square Out to the Ball one of the most difficult things for the average golfer to do is to keep
The club from moving over to the outside and and coming across the line of flight as he hits the ball this happens when the down swing is started with the hands or when the hips begin to turn before the flow of weight has started back to the left
Foot the result is either a bad slice if the face of the club is open when it hits a ball or a pull or smothered hook if it is turned over too soon this in effect is what Harvey does he doesn’t turn his hips enough during
The back swing and then he cuts across the ball with a stroke that is nearly all right-handed the club face is open so he slices badly by starting the downswing with a movement of the hips and by dropping the right elbow back to the side of the body
The correct swing keeps the club well inside the line of play this is the only position from which it is possible to swing through Straight toward the hole after the first forward shift of the hips the body begins to unwind and the right elbow remains close to the side of
The body the left hip continues to lead the turn and exert its pull through the left arm to the hands and Club the player who used his hands as a means of beginning a downswing arrives at the point where he’s ready to let go and suddenly discovers he has nothing
Left to hit with his swing has lost its stinger with the wrists already straightened out he must make the effort with his arms and shoulders the left arm is fully extended and the wrists have lost only a tiny bit of the angle at which they were cocked
At the top of the Swing this angle has begun to open gradually as the club head has gained speed during the downswing the hips must continue their turn until it impact they are well around past their position of the dress if a turn is stopped sooner the left arm must collapse because it
Will not then be able to complete its swing through the ball the final complete straightening of the left leg is important to both timing and power as the left hip moves back the leg snap straight and the wrists are whipped open this is a concluding effort
Of the swing and the deter in factor in good timing your slice was brought about in this way to begin with you did not turn your hips enough during the back swing then in starting down your first movement brought the club over to your front out beyond the path which it
Should have followed and from there you cut across the ball from the outside you couldn’t help slicing swinging the club in that way in order to hit a straight shot the swing must be kept inside so that it can swing through Straight toward the hole this is a virtue which we intend to
Describe when we say a swing is compact to slice a hook without the intention of doing so leads to plenty of trouble but as a player becomes more expert he ought to know how to turn the ball to right or left at will control shots of either kind are very very
Useful in the wind or in swinging around bunkers and other obstructions barring the way to the green to play an intentional slice the more skillful player sets out to do some of the things which the average golfer does without intention to produce a slice he must swing his Club through on a line
Directed slightly to the left of the objective depending upon how much slice he wants he moves a little farther back of the ball opens his stance a bit and lessens the turn of his hips during the back swing in swinging through he holds his weight back a little in order to
Direct his stroke across the line from the outside the result is a slice all right but it is under control the hook which is a result of a faulty swing is usually caused by turning the face of the club over before impact but a controlled hook or Draw
Cannot be played in this way the swing which which produces this kind of shot strikes the ball while crossing the line of flight from the inside out with the face of the club approximately Square to the objective or only slightly hooded this is done almost entirely by
The action of the hips and body the ball is played a little nearer the right foot the wind up of the hips during the back swing is the same as usual but the forward shift of the hips is exaggerated the swing drops in close to the body and is directed outward through the
Ball Joe claims that the reason that I can’t hold the green is because I don’t put enough backspin on the ball now I hit the ball with plenty of elevation and it goes good and high but when it lands on the green it keeps going and
Going and going and going now I claim it’s because the greens are too hard well Eddie those greens were fairly firm but they would always hold a well hit shot your trouble was that you didn’t hit the ball down enough the average golfer when he has to play a quick
Stopping shot finds it difficult to resist the impulse to hit the ball on the upstroke he wants to help it into the air but the stroke which produces backspin is directed downward and takes a devot from a TI after it strikes a ball the elevation of a shot means
Little the ball that is hit upward will fly high but it will not stop quickly unless the greens are very soft this shot though not unusually high was stopped quickly by the backspin in playing this kind of shot the cocking of the wrist is very important if the rests are not fully
Cocked and the angle retained until late in the downswing a firm downward stroke will be impossible it is a mistake though to think that a backspin shot has to be punched any harder than usual the Rhythm and timing are exactly the same the descending blow and the LOF of the club
Will take care of the spin to direct the stroke downward is of equal importance in other situations especially when playing from very close or downhill lies these shots too the average golfer is inclined to try to hit on the upstroke to pick them up cleanly this is the
Reason he top so many often the brassy can be used with effect from a very close line if the player only has courage enough to go for it a slightly descending blow skinning the T in front of the ball imparts a spin which makes the ball rise of course when the LIE is
Perceptibly downhill or hanging a more lofted Club may be necessary this lie was fairly steep but a good downward smash with a spoon got the ball up enough to clear a fair size tree less than 150 yards away even these wood Club shots come up with backspin when they are hit down
Obviously this is responsible for some loss of distance when the ball is lying well and the maximum length is required the brassy shot is played exactly like a drive from the tea if you have seen all six of the pictures of this series how to break 90
You are now acquainted with all the essential movements of the correct swing but the acquaintance cannot ripen into intimate friendship unless you do some work for yourself do not be ashamed to take your golf a little bit seriously you don’t have to be a crab or a crank
In order to make a real effort to improve your game golf is so much more fun when it is played well please remember that nothing shown in these pictures is intended to be a tip or a quick remedy if your swing is not right overhaul it completely build it on a sound
Foundation my aim is not to take a few average golfers out of that class but to make the average of the whole somewhat Better
