Adam Bazalgette of Scratch Golf Academy provides a comprehensive guide to mastering the golf swing sequence. He breaks down the swing into three phases: synchronizing the backswing components, initiating the downswing with the core, and timing the impact release. Through a series of paused and restricted-movement drills, golfers can rewire their muscle memory for a smoother, more powerful transition.
Synchronize your wrists, arms, and body pivot so they all complete the backswing at the exact same moment.
The correct downswing sequence is: core, trunk, arms, then club.
Practice hitting balls from a dead stop at the top of the backswing to force the lower body to lead the transition.
Use the 'Stop Drill' at impact to ensure your arms are back in front of your body and your core is fully engaged.
Avoid rushing; use feel-based drills away from the ball to build habits before applying them to full speed shots.
