You're studying what happened - not what caused it to happen ...

Brad Hawkins from Left Tilt Golf explains why focusing on cause-and-effect in the golf swing is far more effective than trying to copy static positions. By understanding and correcting the early causes in your backswing and pivot, downstream impact positions take care of themselves.

• Focus on the root causes of swing flaws rather than forcing static positions.
• Positions seen in elite golf swings are often reactive responses to earlier movements.
• Correcting early mechanical causes allows later key swing positions to happen naturally.
