The secrets to a consistent golf swing are hidden in the laws of physics
I was recently discussing the golf swing with a physics professor I had met on the golf course. He said there are really only 2 physical principals that impact a consistent golf swing (he described the forces due to gravity as being negligible in the golf swing).
The physics professor went on to say - "The truth is COAM and Torque is by far the 2 most important factors when learning to build a consistent golf swing."
COAM being the Conservation Of Angular Momentum - the principal that states angular momentum of an object remains constant as long as no external force or moment acts on that object.
COAM says if the object (club head) is brought closer to the axis (formed by the golfer's stable spine), it speeds up. If the club head is moved further out, it slows down. In a consistent golf swing, as the player rotates the club, the hands move farther from the body or axis and slow down. This reduction in momentum feeds into the much lighter club and increases the speed of the club head in the last part of the stroke, in a whiplash type of effect, increasing the force of impact on the ball.
To further illustrate Conservation Of Angular Momentum, picture an ice skater performing a stationary spin on ice. When the skater moves her arms closer to her body, she spins much faster...as the arms are brought farther from the body, the ice skater spins slower.
He described the other principal in a consistent golf swing as Torque.
Torque equals Force X Length(T = FL); where "F" being Force and "L" being length of the lever in our case the length of the golf club shaft.
"F" or Force can be further broken down using Newton's equation for Force; F= ma (Force equals mass X acceleration)
So we now have Torque = mass x acceleration x length (T = maL)
"m" being the mass of the club head, "a" being the acceleration of the club head, and "L" being the length of the golf club.
It is Torque or the twisting action of the golf club that gives real leverage in a consistent golf swing.
Now that you know a little golf swing physics, how do you maximize the principals of Torque and COAM into YOUR golf swing? The secret - you must develop the late hit or "lag" into your golf swing.
The truth is, you will unleash an enormous amount of power at impact because of the principals of Torque and COAM.
The secret is to find a golf instruction system that teaches you how to develop the late hit into your golf swing or you will never reach your potential as a golfer.
It is simply amazing how fast you can build a consistent golf swing by learning the late hit. This is because your swing will now be in harmony with the physical laws of nature - this is how a 150LB golfer can crush 340 yard drives - he is able to harness an incredible amount of power due to Torque and COAM!

How to Keep Left Arm Straight During Golf Swing
November 22, 2009 by admin
Filed under Golf Related Articles
By John Lynch
You've been hearing it since you first learned how to swing a golf club - "you gotta keep your left arm straight during the golf swing".
The trouble is; how do you learn to keep your left arm straight?
A lotta golfers who think they keep their left arm straight during the golf swing are shocked when they see themselves swing on video...their left elbow usually breaks down somewhere during the backswing...or the downswing.
Some golfers are so intent on keeping their left arm straight during the golf swing they become rigid with little shoulder turn.
So, how do you learn to keep the left arm straight during the golf swing?
First, a little lesson on the physics of the golf swing...
Experts on the physics of golf refer to the "Magic Triangle" or "Eternal Triangle" that is formed in an ideal golf swing. This is the triangle formed by the golfer's left arm, the golf club, and an imaginary line from the golfer's left shoulder to the center of the club face. For best results, this triangle should be maintained from the start of the backswing to just before the impact area when you release the club head. This will produce a high speed impact with the ball as described in detail by Joe Dante in his top selling golf instructional book - "Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf".
By focusing on maintaining the magic triangle throughout the golf swing you are taken advantage of a powerful physical force...the conservation of angular momentum...the principal that states angular momentum of an object remains constant as long as no external force or moment acts on that object.
If the object (club head) is brought closer to the axis (formed by the golfer's stable spine), it speeds up. If the club head is moved further out, it slows down. In a golf swing, as the player rotates the club, the hands move farther from the body or axis and slow down. This reduction in momentum feeds into the much lighter club and increases the speed of the club head in the last part of the stroke, in a whiplash type of effect, increasing the force of impact on the ball.
The truth is, if your left arm does not stay straight during the golf swing, you are losing out on the benefits of centrifugal force because your swing arc is smaller. Think of your left arm as a spoke in a wheel and your swing arc as the circumference of the wheel. By not keeping your left arm straight you are essentially shortening the spoke thereby reducing the circumference. You are also upsetting the positive effects of conservation of angular momentum and thus reducing the speed between club face and ball.
Now that you understand the physics behind the benefits of keeping your left arm straight during the golf swing...
How do you learn to do so?
Assuming your golf swing fundamentals such as grip, stance, and alignment are relatively sound, all you have to do is simply become aware of this magic triangle. Don’t try to force this triangle…just become aware of it next time you go to the range…
Then, just before impact, release all that stored energy you will have in the club head, like cracking a whip!
After a while you will be shocked at how solidly you can strike the ball…
You’ll be surprised how straight your left arm becomes during the golf swing just by shining the light of awareness upon this magic triangle during the golf swing.
You will now have a tiger by the tail so use this new found power wisely!
Hit ‘em Long and Straight!

The Simple Golf Swing
June 17, 2009 by admin
Filed under Proper Golf Swing
The concept of the game of golf is quite simple. Hit a ball as near as possible to a hole at a far side and then put it into a hole. But when you actually try to do it, you find that is it not as simple as it seems. Just about twenty percent of golf players achieve this goal with the minimum of strokes and this is due to the inconsistency of their swings. Getting over your problems shouldn’t be very difficult; all you need is consistency.
When your game play technique becomes consistent, you begin to hit the ball squarely and consistently. You get the ball to travel longer distances and reduce 7 to 10 more strokes. Keeping to a simple swing helps you get consistency. A simple swing is one where there is little or no unnecessary movement and one that is always easy to do. Keeping things simple is the best way to get anything done successfully.
Your Spine
One of the best-kept secrets to a proper golf swing is to have a stable spine. It acts as an axis for the rotation of your body. Golfers having a high handicap also have unnecessary movements, rocking or swaying as they swing, leading to a lot of waste of energy and loose focus on the ball. To minimize swaying, think about coiling around your spine and limiting hip movements. This will enable you to put power into your swings.
Limiting Hip Rotation
By keeping your spine stable you can limit the rotation of your hip. Boxing requires good hip rotation but golf is just the opposite. Hip rotation is bad for golf. It causes a swaying movement that makes the swing ineffective. By rotating around your spine you can take the movement out of your hips.
The Backswing
Crucial to a proper golf swing is power. The backswing should be enough as though you have coiled yourself around your spine. Too far a back swing is also not effective.
The above are the three basic principles of golf that you have to remember at all times, i.e., keep a stable spine to pivot around, reduce the rotation of your hip and shorten your backswing but not too short. These basic principles will help you in your goal to a proper golf swing.
What you have to keep in mind is that the proper golf swing that most effectively strikes the ball has very little movement to it. This is the principle professional golfers understand and that is why they are successful. Instead of a complicated swing, theirs is simple, consistent and effective. The more simpler your swing the more consistent it will be.
Whatever the playing condition, easy or harsh and nerve-racking, golfers with a simple swing excel. In the parlance of some golfers, your body “becomes” the proper golf swing by long and hard training. It is effortless, consistent and effective. And as you achieve this proper golf swing your confidence also increases and consequently your game.
Your confidence in yourself will let you play without being distracted even in tournaments, where other players wilt under the pressure. Once you get the proper golf swing and the confidence that you can consistently swing, all you have to do is mentally tune up your game.

Turning The Simple Golf Swing In To A Proper Golf Swing
May 20, 2009 by admin
Filed under Improve Golf Swing
Why do I need to do a proper golf swing? Well while golf is a game with a simple concept, in that you are supposed to hit a ball towards a hole at the other side, there is much difficulty in that task. Eighty percent of all golfers don't get to achieve a handicap of less than 18. This is simply because of inconsistency in their golf swing. While you may have difficulties, it should be simple, as the only thing that you really need to achieve is consistency.
Achieving this golden consistency can help you hit the ball square, letting you go at longer distances every time and shave off 7-10 or more strokes off your score. The key principle to consistency is to have a proper simple golf swing. It is a swing where there is no wasted movement and is easy to do, no matter what. The best way to do anything, whether it is golf or anything else, is to keep it simple.
Spine
One of the secrets to a proper golf swing is to have a stable spine that you can work around. Keeping it straight will enable you to use your spine as an axis for your body rotation. Most golfers with high handicaps have a lot of unnecessary movements, swaying as they swing. This makes them waste a lot of energy in those movements and not let them focus on the ball itself. The best way to achieve that consistency is to coil around your spine and limit hip rotation. This will let you put power into your golf swing.
Limit Hip Movement
By having a stable spine, you are to limit hip rotation in your swing. Hip rotation is good for other sports like boxing, but it is no good in golf. Hip rotation will cause you to sway as you swing, which makes it ineffective. Only swing around your spine, and you can take the sway away from your swing.
Backswing
Power is crucial in a proper golf swing. You can get this by not swinging the club too far back as all you need is to coil around your spine. This is a key in getting power.
Those are three basic principles you need to keep in mind - swing around a stable spine, limit your hip rotation, and shorten your backswing, as you don't really need to swing it back to parallel. These can help you achieve efficient movement in your swing.
The thing you have to remember is that the best golf swing does not have a lot of movement to it at all. Professional golfers understand this principle, and that is why they have such low scores. By keeping it simple, they can achieve consistency in their swings and hit the ball right at the centre.
A proper golf swing helps a player perform even at the harshest and most nerve-wracking of conditions. When you have trained well and long and hard, your body “becomes” the golf swing itself, as some golfers put it, and almost effortlessly, your swing becomes consistent. By achieving the most perfect golf swing for you, your confidence will be increased.
This will let you play without distractions even in tournament play, where the pressure can faze other people out. Once you get it, all you need to tune up is your mental game.
