Center Pivot Forces You to Slow Down... The Athletic Shift That Lets You Hit Hard!

Athletic Motion Golf explains why attempting a strict center pivot locks up the body and reduces clubhead speed. By incorporating an athletic shift into a trail post, recentering during transition, and driving into a lead post, golfers can dramatically increase swing speed with proper stability.

• A strict center pivot creates a twisting motion that forces golfers to slow down to keep the club from getting thrown offline.
• Athletic movement requires shifting into a trail post during the backswing and recentering during transition.
• Shifting weight into a braced lead leg allows you to throw the club hard into impact with maximum control and speed.
