Sometimes you read there are angles in the golf swing, and that the key to a good swing is to maintain those angles. I agree whole-heartedly.<\/p>\n

What those angles are is the important point. There is one I have been working on for a while that is paying big dividends. It is the angle shown in the picture below, made by the clubshaft and arms as seen from a down-the-line point of view.<\/p>\n

I became aware of this angle in Terry Kohler’s article<\/a> that appeared in GolfWRX recently.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

That angle need to be preserved throughout the swing. You will get a swing that returns the clubhead as square the target and as centered to the ball as it was at address. <\/p>\n

How hard is this technique to learn? You can figure out in minutes. <\/p>\n

When you stand at address with your arms hanging straight down and the club angled away from you, you will have a certain feeling in your forearms and your hands. <\/p>\n

MAINTAIN THE FEELING THROUGHOUT THE SWING. That’s all there is to it.<\/p>\n

I would recommend learning the feeling by making half swings with a 9-iron at a slower tempo than usual. When you start getting it, work into longer clubs and longer swings, concentrating at all times on the feeling of maintaining the angle as described. <\/p>\n

When the feeling is good and uniform throughout the bag, then start hitting balls.<\/p>\n

You’re welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
