This weeks Secret golf tip is going to be about the transition. This is an area that is really underlooked in the golf swing and something that needs to be done well as this can mess up your whole golf swing.

Scratching your head wondering why am I hitting poor golf shots can simply come down to a bad transition and if you dont get this bit right it can lead to so many bad outcomes.

The drill to fix this is simply to swing to the top and count out loud the number 1, then begin your downswing to the ball this just gives your body time to react to that backswing positon and get everything moving together as a whole!

Hello and welcome back to Josh the YouTube It’s 2024 and we are starting a brand new series every single Monday I’m going to be bringing you a secret golf tip that can hopefully help you all lower that handicap and lower them golf scores let’s jump straight into it so

We’re going to be covering the whole golf swing but we’re going to start off at a position where for me this is a really important one and I see a lot of amateurs do this part wrong so what is that it’s the transition so at the top

Of the golf swing we get to this point where we start the downswing this is known as the transition period where we get the back swing complete and we start that down swing now a lot of people struggle with the transition phase because it’s where that moment comes to

How am I going to get back down to the golf ball so if you have a bad back swing that transition might look really snatchy and quick which just going to lead to a bad golf shot so it’s very important that we get a perfectly smooth

Transition and I’m going to give you a really quick and easy simple drill that you can all try to get this transition perfect so we’re going to get into our setup position everything is normal we’re going to swing to the top and once we complete our back swing we’re just

Going to say out loud the number one and then after we say that we can then start our down swing so it’ll look something like this one and as you can see there that was a nice pause we had at the top you see a lot of

Guys on tour um you’ve got hii mats probably the most famous one for the pors um a lot of other guys do it as well you’ve probably seen Victor hin he he had a moment where he was doing that double pump thing at the top um all to

Help with that transition so this a a really nice drill that you can try at the driving range it just Smooths out that whole golf swing as well you know for me if I’m struggling with Tempo this drill just really helps a lot so one and you can see it’s not snatchy it

Just gives enough time to get to the top of the back swing complete it and then start that down swing so another common question asked about the transition is going to be what goes first is it the arms or the bottom half now someone that swings over the top maybe quite steep

You know has that slice shot or the straight pull is probably going to lead too much with the top half the bottom half kind of slows down the arms and everything leads through first someone that’s a bit underneath maybe has that high block and the hook um you know it’s

Probably the complete opposite the body goes the arms go behind everything’s stuck here therefore it’s either that quick hook or a straight block so I would say when you get to your golf swing being in a good position um you’re not going to really think about either

Of it you know you’re just going to do it and for me I would say the only thing to this is going to be get everything matched up you know I don’t want to see the arms and the hands and the top half out ring the bottom half I think it

Should all be connected and staying together as that whole body movement so to answer that question fully I just think just get it matched up don’t don’t let one beat the other um but this drill is just so so good to do that as well that little pause gives you enough time

To think about right we’re here let’s get everything moving together you’ve got nothing out racing the other and um it’s just a really easy simple drill that’s going to help improve that transition wow and there we go dead straight drivers just a really good feel um as I

Say this just really helps with Tempo Smooths the transition right out and hopefully that will can help you so with all that being said if you did enjoy that video please leave a like comment down below what you want to see next and we will see you all for the next one
