750px is not validGolf Lesson Preamble for Your Golf Swing:
Should you have one golf swing for the driver and another golf swing for the irons?
Should you swing vertically or swing vertically?
Should you swing vertically when you are tall and horizontally when you are short?
In a previous article on the pivot leg, it was said that you should not transfer your weight off your pivot leg.
I am delighted to see you again in this new article.
So let’s stop thinking that tall golfers should swing vertically and short golfers should swing horizontally.
It is heresy now.
Towards a personalized golf swing
Biomechanics at the heart of personalizing your golf swing
Table of Contents
this is completely crazy look at matt kuchar here who is a big rod like me at 6’5 and swings horizontally.
So just one example there and that’s enough to show that it’s completely outdated.
you have to put the biomechanical factors back at the center, that is to say the length of your segments.
Do you have a tendency to have what I call a two-plane swing? Tell me in the comments if you have a tendency to have what I call a two-plane swing.
That is to say, the arms are swung in a different plane than the shoulders.
Say it well in the comments.
Or a swing on a plane where my arms are swung in the same plane as the line of my shoulders.
You’re going to tell me how I can know afterwards from a biomechanical point of view if I should have a two-plane swing or a one-plane swing?
That’s a good question there is normally a battery of tests that are present in my online training center igolf school where I really follow my students with swing analyses, using their motor signatures.
It is very important to do this to gain consistency. Otherwise, what will happen?
You want to progress. You invest and unfortunately you will regress. While you give your time and you invest money.
Let’s Determine Your Natural Golf Swing
The 2-Plane Golf Swing and the Single-Plane Golf Swing
But let’s get back to what is a swing on one plane a swing on two planes.
The golf swing on 2 planes
You’re going to hit a few balls where you’re going to tell me if you feel more comfortable when the swing is vertical.
The golf swing on a plane
And you’re going to hit five more balls after that. You’re going to swing more horizontally.
And you’re going to tell me which swing you feel the most comfortable with, the most ease in performing.
It’s true that the goal is to gain power without forcing. So that’s why using your biomechanics allows you to gain distance easily without having to force.
Golf biomechanics is not a magic wand
Don’t think that this biomechanics factor is a magic wand. No, we must personalize it according to your ball flight. Imagine a person who swings very vertically and who comes back completely over the top, it is certain that this person even if the motor signature gives him verticality factors we will try to horizontalize the backswing.
For example, this is one of the solutions, but it is very important for you not to be locked into biomechanics, into your motor preferences, into your motor signature.
We therefore use your motor signature parameters in the solutions to be found to help you progress in golf and this is why I do it either in a golf course with my 3c method: constancy, contact and concentration.
Tell me in the comments if you have a more vertical than horizontal swing and tell me a little about your golfing life in the comments.
In conclusion on the golf swing.
You probably understood that your golf swing needs to be personalized.
To do this you need to understand and determine what your arms are doing during your golf swing. Are they naturally swinging up. Or are they naturally swinging around you.
If you want to go further and learn new things about your biomechanics to improve your distance and your golf routine, I invite you to a free training right here. I hope once again that you enjoyed this article.
