Then, what is the slot in golf swing?

The slot is simply a position halfway into the downswing where the right elbow (for a right-hander) is tucked close to the right hip and the club is tracking a path to the ball from inside the target line. Every pro golfer's swing is built to put the club in this slot.

Beside above, what is the most important move in the golf swing? The first move down from the top is one of the most important in the golf swing. No matter how you take the club back, the transition into the downswing has to be smooth, and the club needs to come into the ball from inside the target line.

Besides, how do you drop your arms in the golf swing?

Let your arms drop quietly, then swing them through as fast as your body will allow and stay in balance. Throw the club through the ball with your right hand (above, right). As Jack Nicklaus said, you can hit as hard as you want with the right hand as long as the lower body is leading.

How do you keep your shoulder back in the downswing?

Make your normal backswing and start your downswing with two simple feelings. To feel like you're keeping your right shoulder back, make a mini waggle of your arms moving down until your left arm is level to the ground. While the arms are moving down, you also want to feel that your weight has shifted forward.

Why can't I shallow the golf club?

If you don't shallow out your swing on the way down it's nearly impossible to make consistent contact at impact. Shallowing the golf club means that you get the club to flatten out more horizontally on the way down. Most golfers instead, have an over the top, casting move which leads a steeper plane on the downswing.

Where does the golf swing start?

It refers to using big muscles to start the swing, initiated by the left shoulder. Many players begin their swing by snatching the club back or picking it up. Mistakes occur when the hands or wrists initiate the first movement. Start to bring the club back using your torso and shoulders, not your wrists and forearms.

How the arms work in the downswing?

To groove your downswing, here are a couple of thoughts: (1) Keep your back to the target for as long as possible, and (2) feel like your chest is facing the ball at impact. These cues will get your arms swinging down in front of you instead of being dragged through by an overactive body.

How do you hit a golf ball with your body?

To hit a golf ball, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and bend forward slightly from your hips. Grip the club securely, but not too tightly, and keep your shoulders and torso aligned. Then, line up your club with the ball and swing your arms backward slightly, keeping your legs firmly planted on the ground.
