Alex Fortey from The Art of Simple Golf breaks down three classic instructional drills to restore proper kinetic sequencing to your swing. By emphasizing ground interaction with the Step Drill, smooth transition feel with heavy arms, and soft wrists using the reverse lag takeaway, golfers learn to generate natural power without overthinking complex angles.
The optimal kinetic swing sequence flows in order: lower body, torso, arms, and wrists.
Use the Step Drill on a teed-up ball to train your lower body to initiate the downswing before the upper body turns.
Avoid snatching or jerking from the top of the backswing; allow your arms to feel heavy to buy crucial time in transition.
Maintain supple wrists on takeaway so momentum and gravity load the club naturally rather than forcing lag.
