The Golf Swing – Natural or Un-natural?

[SaifulIslam01]

Halfway down, forget about swing-plane and all that junk. It’s about the position of the right shoulder (which is attached to the right elbow) being well behind the left one. That’s the only important sign that the club will arrive at the ball from inside enough. When the right shoulder is not sufficiently behind the left (see picture on extreme right), the right elbow (the final opportunity to make good impact) must un-bend in a plane (frontal) that it is not designed to, resulting in less-than-efficient ball-striking and eventually injury too.

Look at the un-intentional and intentional MGS swingers. GREAT half-way down positions. The only difference? Suzann has a lot of wrist lag – intentional as the world of golf insists it matters. How much power can an abducted wrist (cocked) give when it straightens by a couple of inches? Not much. Why then lag excessively, only to risk a too-early or too-late release as the right elbow straightens out? Why risk injury too? With the MGSS, as there is no intentional backswing lag, the wrists lag as the right elbow ‘drops into its slot’ giving perfectly timed release – which should really refer only to right arm pronation – for power-delivery plus less scope for injury.

The Golf Swing – natural or un-natural?

An often-discussed issue in golf is whether the golf swing telegram number list is a natural or un-natural movement.

Does an infant learning to locomote find walking a natural activity? Is that same infant, at age ten, able to run a mighty fast sprint?



The conclusion? Whether a golf swing FEELS natural or not is not important. What MATTERS is that for it to be maximally efficient (and reduce the scope for injury), all the body’s major joints should be positioned in such a manner that they need NO CHANGE OF DIRECTION from the top of the backswing to impact.

When a golf swing attempts to combine body rotation with a more vertical arm movement, many joints wander every-which-way, and then, during the downswing need to be rapidly re-positioned in a fraction of a second! Are golfers superman?

The Minimalist Golf Swing System is a system which analyzes what positions the body’s joints need to be in for IDEAL impact, then figures out a way for them to be in the correct direction for impact in the golfer’s top-of-backswing position.
