The following are two different swing techniques: Feel verses Technical: The first is a Feel Swing: This golf swing has a lot of motion during the entire swing. The lower body is in full motion during the down swing and relies on your ability to control and coordinate all that motion so that it meets up at the ball at the right time. An example of a Feel Golfer is John Daly. We believe this swing type is by far the most difficult type of swing to master and for the most part cannot be taught. Certainly great golfers have feel, but we believe it is a natural gift that great golfers develop over time. Technical Swing: This swing has very limited lower body motion. That doesn’t mean that you don’t take a full swing, just that your lower body, starting with your feet, doesn’t fire, jump and push ahead of your upper body. This swing is a controlled swing. It looks effortless. It looks Quiet. This is the type of swing you have seen and you might have said to the golfer ”I can’t believe how smooth your swing is and how far you still hit the ball”. An example of a Technical Golfer is Mike Weir. As a left handed golfer, his left heel is still on the ground or less than an inch off the ground at impact of ball, even when he hits his driver. If you really think about it, you cannot slide, dive or turn your lower body with your heel still on or close to the ground at impact of ball. (right heel for right handers and left heel for left handers). This type of swing is far easier to duplicate under pressure and when done correctly creates far more power, which means distance. The science behind Quite Golf is solid. By driving at the ball starting with your upper body, leaving your feet flat on the ground, leave your right heel on the ground longer (right handers), powering thru the ball and simply turning the right foot after impact, not pushing off the right foot and sliding the hips to the left, you will create the power and accuracy you have been looking for. Not to get too scientific but power is created by resistance, compression and velocity. By staying connected to the ground and eliminating all the unnecessary motion that most golfer mistakenly think is important, accuracy and power is created. When you combine QUIET GOLF and the Krank Golf Drivers, which is the highest ball speed and lowest spin driver made, all your driving dreams will come true. The following is a step-by-step overview of what we call QUIET GOLF. 1. Use 2 ¾ inch tees barely put in ground. 2. Tee up ball forward in stance at left heel or toe. (Right handed golfers) 3. Put outside of feet at shoulder width. 4. Straighten right foot. Do not toe out right foot. Left foot is OK to toe out a little. 5. Take club straight back, low and slow. 6. Initiate down swing at the ball with your upper body, leaving your feet flat on the ground. 7. At impact of ball your left shoulder should feel a little shrugged to help you keep square to the target and your right heel should be on the ground or no more than one inch off the ground. Remember we are trying to eliminate pushing off the right foot, which causes your hips and lower body to slide prematurely to the left during your down swing. 8. Keep your head and chin down at impact. 9. Finish with simply turning your right foot, by squashing the bug, not pushing off the right toe. 10. Your finish position should be balanced. Finish pretty. Most Teaching Pros talk about getting to your left side. Be careful not to get too far to your left side. Finish with your left hip on top or a little back from you left foot. Not out in front of your left hip. The more you slide your hips to the left during your swing the more difficult it will be to hit straight and long. Oversliding your hips is what makes 95% of all golfers SLICE the ball. You can put that in the bank! Give it a try. It really is simple. Related articles
