Pro Golf Swing

To get a smokin' fast clubhead speed... you've got to get more SLOW.

Okay... sounds weird... but by focusing on "turning" your hips and letting the shoulders, arms and hands loosely "go along for the ride", you're creating a professional power swing.

And here's the weirder part. Know what the core pivot of the world's best tour players is?2 miles per hour.That's it. And the average golfer's core pivot is just 1 mile per hour.

So here's a critical tip for you. Stop focusing on your clubhead speed and instead think about your core pivot speed. Why? Because even the hottest tour pros can't concentrate on a clubhead moving at 100 miles per hour or more. But it's easy to focus in on something moving 1 or 2 miles per hour.

And just think... even 1/2 of a mile an hour increase in your core pivot will result in an incredible increase in your clubhead speed.

The key is not to allow the swing to "disconnect" from your core pivot by activating the arms and hands. And that's where I always see the biggest problems. High-handicappers think they can get more clubhead speed by throwing the club at the ball with their arms. Forget it... it doesn't work. Keep your arms and hands "loose as noodles" and move SLOW from the top. As you pivot, allow them build energy like a wave moving through your feet... knees... hips... shoulders... arms... hands in that order.

Now that's a pro swing.
