How Tiger Woods Swings So Effortlessly - Its a Stretch Rebound
RotarySwing.com analyzes Tiger Woods' swing to explain the 'stretch rebound' effect in the lead side of the body. The video illustrates how coiling around the lead hip creates tension in the interior oblique sling, allowing for an efficient energy transfer. By visualizing the stretching of a shirt seam, golfers can learn to decelerate their chest rotation to accelerate the club head for an effortless release.
Visualize your shirt seam stretching on your lead side to feel the tension in your oblique sling.
Shift your weight to the lead hip early in the transition so it can 'take over' and provide a pivot point.
The lead pinky should feel like it is stretching down toward the lead hip to maintain a connection.
Efficiency comes from the chest decelerating late in the downswing, which transfers energy into the hands, arms, and club.
Avoid rotating the chest too long through impact; the 'slack' must come out of the body to whip the club through.
