Unlock Lazy Power: Drive Further By Swinging Slower SURELY Not TRUE
UK Top 50 Golf Coach Alistair Davies and biomechanics expert Mark Bull explain the 'Lazy Power' secret: how decelerating body segments in the correct sequence actually increases clubhead speed. By using drills like the 'Stamp and Rotate' and 'Cut-off Finish,' golfers can learn to transfer energy efficiently from the ground through the body and into the clubhead for maximum distance with less effort.
Clubhead speed is generated when proximal segments (pelvis, rib cage) slow down to transfer energy to distal segments (arms, club).
The pelvis should actually begin to slow its rotation when the lead arm is roughly parallel to the ground in the downswing.
Efficient speed comes from 'putting the brakes on' with your core (abs) to whip the clubhead through impact.
Using a 'stamp' in the lead foot helps trigger the correct kinematic sequence and ground force reactions.
Practice with a shortened 'Tommy Fleetwood' style finish to feel the body stop while the club accelerates.
