Should you lift or swing the Golf Club?
When the club is free to swing naturally around your body, great things are possible on the course. However, if you just lift the club up into position before dropping it back down on the ball, you will be highly unlikely to ever produce anything of value in your game. So, the mission is simple – swing the club, rather than lifting it.
Why do golfers lift up during the downswing?
Lifting your entire body and head increases the chances of having your club face exposed, leading to poorly defined shots. This is another critical issue that causes golfers to lift up during the downswing. You cannot stand with your back arched and expect to make a good turn for the backswing for a perfect front swing before impact!
How can I stop lifting my head during a golf swing?
