The final swing lesson in this 'golfing lessons' section, is to study the correct downswing movement into the finish position. The downswing starts with the left knee and hip turning towards the target ? this movement starts shifting your weight from your right side, back onto your left side.
1. The right shoulder and arm should drop straight down, towards your right hip.
2. Ensure that you don?t rush the downswing movement, it is important to accelerate smoothly.
3. The clubhead will now pick up speed quickly during the downswing as the body uncoils.
4. At the impact point, the force created by the body, should uncock the wrists and straighten the left arm as the clubface makes contact with the ball.
5. The left hip and shoulder should now turn towards the target, with the body weight shifting to the left side, onto the left foot.
6. The follow-through comes next - as most of the body weight shifts over to the left side, the right foot should come up, so that only the toes are resting on the ground.
7. Leading into the finish position, the shoulders, hips and knees are level and you should be perfectly balanced.
8. Hold your finish position, while facing the target, with your club resting over your left shoulder. Return to 'golf lessons home'
