Recoil and Relax
Recoil and Relax
I've started to notice a trend on the PGA TOUR, and I think it's hurting some players from playing their best golf. The finish position is critical to repeatedly hitting straight shots. But, what I'm seeing is a large number of both professional and amateur golfers finishing too far left after... more
The human body is a pretty amazing thing. It can even tell us when an injury is approaching. Our bodies give us tension, stress, and strain as a prelude to pain. So why do golfers insist on over rotating, especially on the follow through to finish?
