LETTER FROM THE TEACHING PROFESSIONAL
Now that you understand both speed and power as it relates to the golf swing it ’ s time to combine them . A simple analogy would be if we were walking at our usual walking speed , and we then decided to swing our arms faster , as a result our stride would increase making us walk faster . There will be a certain point were putting too much power into the shot will cause the arms to swing too fast and therefore causing the swing to become out of control and erratic . Finding the right balance of speed and power is crucial for becoming a powerful ball striker . Have a great month of August and hope that you all can hit some bombs !
