The Exercise To Sync Your Golf Swing In Seconds

PGA Advanced Fellow Alistair Davies explains how to sync your golf swing for maximum speed through proper kinematic sequence. By using an alignment rod or towel drill, golfers learn to decelerate the body at the right moment so peak speed occurs directly at the golf ball.

• Peak speed and the loudest 'whoosh' sound must occur at impact around the ball, not early in the downswing.
• The body must decelerate during the downswing to transfer kinetic energy into the arms and clubhead.
• Using an alignment rod or towel provides instant auditory feedback on where your swing releases speed.
