A key characteristic of the swings of elite golfers is their ability to sequence their motions on the downswing in a manner which produces optimal efficiency. With the aid of new technologies ( 3-D motion capture systems for example ) teaching professionals can now examine in great detail a golfer’s efficiency by studying his / her kinetic sequencing patterns during the swing. Learning or re-learning the proper motion patterns required for golf can be challenging. However, efficient and powerful movement patterns can be brought to golf from other sports. Many people with experience playing sports such as baseball, tennis, or hockey are used to sequencing their motions in a way that transfers momentum from the ground to the core of the body and then to the arms – which is the same sequencing pattern needed to consistently produce quality golf shots.
Many junior golf programs are now incorporating activities such as throwing a ball into their golf clinics as these skills assist in building the necessary movement patterns required in the golf swing.
As well as utilizing advanced technology, or relating the swing to other sports, movement skills can also be developed in the gym or on the practice range. There are many key fundamentals to the golf swing but developing efficient movement patterns is the main key in developing a good impact position and a powerful swing.
