A simple guide for you to know how to swing a golf club

If the first two lessons taught you how to get started with your backswing, and how to get yourself in a position when you can start with your downswing, this chapter will tell you on all you have to do to unleash the power on your shots.

What is the downswing

The backswing, starting and ending, will just give you a starting point from where you could launch the ball in orbit. But the hard work is yet to be done. Now, you have to ensure that with a fluid motion of your arms, shoulders and hips, you provide the final energy push or impetus, which will launch the ball in a trajectory.

If the backswing was important for you
to get going on swinging the golf club, the downswing is equally important for you to know about because it is due to the backswing that you will be able to get power behind your shots.

A lot of beginners think that making the
transition from the backswing to the downswing is as easy as it comes, yet you will find most
of them finding it difficult because of the difference in principles that govern both these
stages.

The first steps in starting your downswing

What most beginner golfers need to know at
the start of downswing is that the hips should be uncoiled. Though, in the bargain of releasing all the built-up energy, the arms and shoulders need to be uncoiled later.

It is very important to know how your body should move, when you start your natural golf swing.

This is the time when you would need to shift the body weight from right foot to left foot. Though, at first, you might have to force this change, but with practice, you would get this transfer of weight rather easily.

Things you should to uncoil the body for release of energy

At this point of time, your wrists should be in a slightly bent position. Remember, how you transfer your wrists will go on to indicate how much power you are able to impart on your shots. Please know – The later you are able to release the wrists, the better are your chances to impart maximum power.

The last step for you to complete the process of downswing is to bring the club down to smash the ball. In doing so, remain confident and bring the club down with as much force as you have and hit the ball.
