If you want to have a consistent golf swing sequence that produces solid, powerful shots for 18 holes, your downswing is your defining moment. Learning how to start your golf downswing is huge! Implementing simple golf tips to create a proper downswing is what this article is all about.
I don’t believe in complexity or confusion. I believe in simple, easy-to-implement golf tips you can use RIGHT NOW to see improvement. We make the golf swing hard enough, we don’t need to add to it, we need to break it down into simple steps that you can achieve quickly and effortlessly.
There are many theories of how the downswing should occur. Some are way out there, and others are somewhat sound, but hard to do. There are some key elements that need to be in place to make your downswing sequence correct, so you come into impact in the best position possible to deliver a solid blow to the golf ball, with tons of compression.
Tip 1 From the top, shift your weight to your lead side, but not by sliding, but with a slight hip bump towards the target. Also, focus on learning how to slow down your golf swing from the transition.
Tip 2 Focus on no head movement laterally! So your weight is now left, but your head is in the same spot.
Tip 3 After you’ve shifted your weight, your hips start to rotate, but with no upper body rotation…yet.
Tip 4 As your hips are rotating, your arms are dropping into the slot for an inside attack on the golf ball.
Tip 5 Feel like your right elbow is coming down and into your right side, which will promote an on-plane golf swing. This is a Hogan move.
Tip 6 Retain your wrist angle (lag) as you continue to rotate your hips and your shoulders, now that you’ve dropped into the slot.
Tip 7 Fire your right side hard! There’s no holding back now. You can hit as hard as you want with the right side, including your right shoulder.
Okay…I hope the above golf tips for downswing makes sense to you, and you are able to implement some of these tips and see an improved downswing sequence, and solid golf shots.
