Keys to Club Head Speed: Part II---X Factor

In Part I, I pointed out that one key to club head speed to achieve distance is the ability for the body to produce power through rotation.  Another factor to power is the ability to separate the upper body from the lower body. 

X-Factor is the distance measured between the shoulder and hip turn in the backswing.  The problem with most average amateur golfers is the inability to maximize this ratio without jeopardizing posture throughout movement.  When there is restriction in the separation between the upper and lower body, the golfer can either decide to shorten the backswing (in turn, limits X-Factor) or try for more range of motion which brings about even more swing faults (sway, slide, flattened shoulder plane). 

There are MANY ways to help promote separation and coil.  Here is one exercise I use with my clients on a daily basis while they are actually in golf posture.

X-Factor Utilizing Wall:

1)  Stand at address with gluteals (buttocks) against wall.  Try NOT to lean back into heels, but keep weight over middle to balls of feet. 

2)  Keep eyes looking down at imaginary golf ball on floor and place hands in “athletic ready” position in front of you.

3)  Rotate upper body with hands around as if in backswing to reach and touch wall behind you.  Eyes and head stay still.

4)  The goal is to be able to place both hands flat on wall with trail arm elbow (right for right handed golfers) aiming down so not to have a flying elbow.

5)  Right buttock will remain flush with wall while both feet stay on ground. 

Hint #1:  When head stays still and weight remains centered, you will get more rotation through each vertebrae starting from the neck down.  Keep abdominals taught and “think” long spine.

Hint #2:  Use your breath to help maximize stretch.  Inhale to prepare for the movement.  Exhale as you rotate and hold stretch for 5-10 seconds.  Breath evenly through stretch.  Repeat both directions to keep symmetry.  5 Repetitions each side.

Keys for Club Director speed: Part II---X Factor

Part I, I pointed out in one of the key club head speed distance is the ability to produce power through the rotation of the body.  The second factor in power is the ability to distinguish between the upper body, lower body.

  X Factor is a shoulder and hip, on the other hand, the distance between the backswing.Most of the average amateur golfers the problem is the inability to maximize this relationship during the posture of the present without compromising the ability of transfers When not set restrictions. upper and lower body, either decide to shorten the backswing golfer (in turn, and within the limits of the X Factor) or more of its regions, on their own initiative, which brings about more swing faults (sway, slide, litteinä shoulder level).

To contribute to the separation and coil ways. here is one I use on a daily basis with my customers, when they are actually using the position of golf.

X Factor tietoliikenneprotokollat Wall:

1) Are at gluteals (buttocks) with wall. Try not lean back into the heels, but keep the weight more than in the middle of the balls in feet.

2) Considered the imaginary golf balls, floor and place in the hands of the "athletic ready ' position on the front of the eyes to view.

3 Rotate hands upper body) than when they are in accordance with the backswing and touch are behind a firewall,. eyes and head shall be continued.

4) is intended to be able to place both hands flat on the wall trail arm elbow (the right to reserve the right to rely on golfers) aims, this is not a flying elbow down.

5) with the Right buttock remains of the wall, even if both legs of the permanent collection in the field.

  Tip 1:When the weight of the animal remains and will remain centered, you can learn more from the neck rotation for each of the vertebrae. Keep taught abdominals and "think" a long spine.

Tip 2:Help, maximize stretch your breath, Breathe to prepare for the movement to.. Exhale rotated, and stretched 5-10 seconds, press and hold the breath, evenly through stretches.. Repeat both ways to keep symmetry. 5 playback on each page.
