How to Improve the STRUCTURE of Your Golf Swing | The Why's of Golf
George Gankas breaks down the essential components of 'structure' at the top of the golf swing. He demonstrates how proper shoulder tilt, arm positioning, and club face alignment allow a golfer to pivot through the ball without manual compensations.
Structure is defined as the relationship between the arms, club, and body at the top of the swing.
Shoulders must rotate at a right angle to the spine to maintain proper pressure in the feet and glutes.
The left arm should ideally be on the shoulder line at the top, with the right forearm parallel to the spine.
Squaring the club face early (flexion) allows the golfer to rotate through impact without needing to 'flip' the hands.
A proper structure eliminates the need to 'recreate' positions during the downswing, leading to better low-point control.
