According to Chuck Evans (pro golfer) there are 4 separate sources of power in the golf swing :

1. proper uncocking of the left wrist.

2. blasting of the left arm off the chest with the body pivot.

3. synchronized roll of the left wrist through impact.

4. the driving power of the right forearm.

Accuracy   

There are two factors that determine the accuracy of all golf shots:

1. control of the flat left wrist through impact, for clubface alignment.

2. consistent orbit of the clubhead on the proper plane.

The player must learn to swing the clubhead, shaft and hands up and back, then down and out on the same inclined plane every time. He or she must also learn to control the clubface with the flat left wrist, adding precision. For more information please visit our website www.kikogolf.com

End Golf Swing Confusion Forever!

End Golf Swing Confusion Forever!

We’re in the information age,  and when it comes to the golf swing, this often means information overload! As new golfers, we start out believing that there is one right way to swing, only to find out that there are just about as many swing methods as there are instructors. It seems that the more we learn about the golf swing, the more our minds are filled with confusing, contradictory information. Until now, if two respected golf professionals showed you two completely different ways to swing and both told you that their way was the right way, you would have been forced to make your best guess. Maybe you would have chosen the information from the pro who was most well known, or the one you could play the best, or the one you listened to most recently. Regardless, with no solid way to choose one way over the other, you would be forced to go from one method to the next indefinitely. The good news is there is now a proven way to determine which swing method is best for you. It’s simple. It’s easy. And, it works every time. The secret is to start with impact! While there are hundreds, or maybe even thousands of different swing methods, there is only one way the club needs to be at impact to hit a desired shot. If your club is in that position, you’ll get the results you want. If it’s not, you won’t. It’s that simple. Impact is often called the moment of truth because it’s the most important aspect of your golf swing. If you want to find your best swing, and end swing confusion forever, the secret is to relate every swing change to impact. For example, if you want to know whether one set-up is better than another, figure out which one allows you to swing your club into the ideal position at impact in the easiest, most comfortable, most powerful way. If you want to know whether a flatter or a more upright backswing is best, notice which way makes it easiest for you to achieve the ideal impact position. While there are numerous swing methods, there is only one way to swing that is the, easiest, most comfortable, and most powerful way for YOU! Trust that the swing that feels best is the right way to swing and you’ll end swing confusion forever!

You don’t just want to play golf, you want to play great golf!!

The problem is you are not as fit or flexible as Tiger Woods, and your golf swing technique is far from professional.

Golf is a sport like none other. It requires the perfect fusion of  physical and mental ability. You have to train your body in a variety of skills necessary for success in this sport. The hands and wrist are the areas that contribute the most when it comes to generating maximum club head speed.

The shoulders and arms can only move through less than 50 degrees while the club head  can move through 180 degrees. The remaining movement therefore, can be traced back to the wrists. The movement of your shoulders will initiate movement of your arms, then hands, and finally your wrists.
