Learning to hit a golf ball requires integrating the senses and movement to create enough power through the golf swing to get your ball to target. A golfer must coordinate all the muscles used in the movement as a unit and generate enough speed and power through this process to obtain the desired result. To learn and practice the golf swing is to modify this process through time until muscle movements are smooth and automatic and the result accurate.
The golf swing is a complex motion requiring the coordination of many individual muscles moving as a smooth unit. Learning to correct swing flaws usually requires breaking down the full motion of the golf swing into smaller units. A golfer can master the whole swing by learning to optimize the movement of smaller muscle groups within the full swing motion. Analyzing a golfers swing to determine where it can be optimized is part of the PGA teaching professionals job. The Morad Golf Research and Development team has been studying swing details for decades and has cataloged at least 160 specific golf swing positions, all of which contribute to the most efficient swing. The best teaching professionals understand how these positions and movements work together and how to relate them to the student and their specific body.
Golf Pros study swing mechanics so they can break down and understand the swing through its components. Yet, physical skills performance research has found that focusing on more than one skill simultaneously gets in the way of performance. Furthermore research indicates that keeping the focus external or away from your body is a better way to learn. So, what about all those positions? A trained, experienced teaching professional, can observe your set up and swing and determine where your swing can be optimized. PGA Master Professionals during their golf schools looks for the one most important component in a students swing that is most critical for improving swing power and accuracy. By teaching the one crucial component he often finds that other swing movements fall into place.
This is the same for beginners to seasoned tour pros, they all need to work on one motion or position at a time. It was widely known that even Tiger Woods worked on one motion for over 2 years until it was mastered. The best teaching pros can find that motion in a students swing and relate it to the student for practice.
