Nothing Can Stop This Inspirational Student Golfer.
PGA instructor Jim Venetos works with an inspirational student to refine downswing sequence and club path control. By visualizing a one-handed tennis backhand and holding resistance in the trail shoulder during downswing, golfers can eliminate premature opening, stabilize impact, and create power through a whip-like release.
Resist lunging forward with your trail shoulder during the downswing to stabilize impact position.
Visualize a one-handed tennis backhand feel: expanding and holding the trail shoulder back generates a powerful whip action.
Focus on fixing one-directional miss patterns (e.g., small pull or push) rather than chasing perfect straight shots every time.
Understand the gap between 'feel and reality'—feeling like your trail shoulder stays back keeps it dynamically centered.
