Jimmy Tropicana explains how to properly initiate the golf downswing from the top of the backswing. The tip focuses on correct body sequencing, starting the move from the lower body to generate power and maintain swing path consistency.
Start the downswing from the ground up by shifting weight onto your lead side.
Allow lower body rotation to pull the arms and club into the proper inside path.
Avoid starting the downswing with your arms or upper body, which causes casting and slicing.
Maintain smooth tempo during the transition to ensure solid contact at impact.
