| FOR THE RELEASE This view of the
backswing and transition into the downswing gives us another opportunity
to observe the role of the right arm and the way a good player retains
that box angle as he reverses momentum from the ground up. The angle
in the right wrist and the fold in the right arm are the two main levers
in your swing and a major source of power as you unwind and release
the club. The secret is to maintain the box angle as you change direction
and let your arms and the club fall into the downswing, thus storing
your release point. It’s like pulling on the handle of a whip to crack
it later. You don’t want to crack it just yet... you first must settle
your body, arms and the club into a position that enables you to turn
on the power with the core muscles as you unwind hard through impact.
The transition merely sets the stage. Once negotiated, you are free
to drill it with your right side – finally cracking the whip on the
ball. |
