Hi everyone, this is Amy. If you want to hit the ball farther with a wood, you need to hit less side spin and backspin and more topspin I don't know what it means to swing in one go. Today I'm going to talk about the downswing of the wood (and Amy Golf). Before this lesson, I want to talk about the difference between downswing and upswing, or backspin and topspin. The difference between the balls In order to make it clearer, let me show you the difference between iron and wood swings. Let's talk about irons first.
The iron swing is a downward swing because the ball you hit with an iron will fly off the ground, so when When you start your downswing you move your weight to the left about 90% or 100% of your weight all at once to your left leg and then you start your downswing and the club head leaves a mark on the turf as you down When you hit the ball, it's a backspin. When the ball hits the ground, it can stop quickly, and if you don't continue to roll the wood, only when you use the wood, you can put the ball high on the tee so that you can You can hit the ball very high only when you use a wood and you need to hit the ball upwards, so unlike irons, you don't need to transfer all of your weight at once, but you need to transfer your weight several times .
The steps for a downswing should be First, transfer 10% to 20% of the center of gravity to the left. Don't transfer the center of gravity. Most of the center of gravity is still on the right foot. At this time, you have to hit the ball upwards. To experience the feeling of hitting the ball, you have to learn two things. First, you have to learn how to feel the weight of the clubhead. Second, you have to know how to use your core to use your core to generate power. I have a lot to say about these two points. I will put The course is divided into two parts and I will explain these two points in detail. Today I will talk about how to feel the weight of the clubhead.
I said before that I see many amateurs swing the woods in the same way as the irons. The center of gravity is shifted all at once. It's on the left foot and if you're in this position you
won't be able to hit the bottom in one go because in this position the ball hits the bottom of the tee and hits the top of the club so you're going to top the ball up and to the right If you put the ball, it will fly high, and if you swing like this with an iron, when you use a wood, many people know from experience that your ball will fly up when you put it in this position, and you will hold the ball tightly.
The rod hits the ball this way. You've seen it a lot, right? The only problem when you hit the ball in this position is that your arms are too tight and you can't feel the weight of the clubhead. In order to feel the weight of the clubhead, you have to relax your wrists, elbows, and shoulder joints. Just relax like this and you can easily feel it.
The weight of the clubhead when I tell you to loosen the joints a lot of people end up loosening their fingers and their joints are still stiff but the fingers are relaxed so it becomes like this if you don't hold the club firmly It's going to be shaking in your hand. Once the club is shaking in your hand throughout the swing, you'll feel tense and then the grip will be tighter. At this point, you're focusing too much on the grip. It's definitely not right. ,right? So you must understand the difference between relaxing your fingers and relaxing your joints.
After you understand this, let's talk about how to practice feeling the weight of the club head. The best way to practice is to practice the swing in two steps. At the top of the swing, stop and make a swing about 90cm from the ball. Stop the swing completely , and again, stop the swing. This may be the most effective if you want to hit the ball farther with the wood. because it helps you relax your arms and feel the weight of the clubhead. This exercise also strengthens your muscles and allows you to hit the ball farther, so you can't overdo it . It's important to practice if you want To make a swing here you have to make sure you don't lean towards the front of the ball so if you put your left hand against the wood like this and your right here to keep your body still you need to make a swing in this position but if you move it becomes This way you can only make the swing sound on the back side of the ball.
It's not good if you don't hit the ball before you hit the ball.
You use all your strength so your body doesn't cross the line. You have to wait for the club to make a swing sound on the front side of the ball.
Let's continue to practice hitting the ball (the camera angle is not the
ball should be on the inside of the left heel) When hitting the ball, you should pay more attention to the sound of the club rather than the ball itself, so that you can hit the ball far away. Let's try it together
on the ball The front side of the ball swings (note: part of the weight is on the right foot) (body leans back) So the most important thing is not to go beyond the front of the ball, right? To avoid going over the front, try this method instead of using your entire body. If you can try to use the momentum of the swing to draw as wide an arc as possible, your body will relax and you will be more at ease.
Increase club head speed and hit the ball farther Hope this works for you Make your club swing in front of the ball To hit the ball farther keep some weight on the right foot, don't go too far in front of the ball Make a swing sound at 90 cm. Do more swing exercises like this. In the next issue, I will teach you how to use the core strength. Hope you can continue to watch and see you in the next issue (with Amy Golf)
