Why, oh why, is the Golf Swing SO hard?!

Author: Karl Smith

What part of the body contributes the most to generating the maximum speed of the club head?

This single answer allowed me to make a huge leap in my understanding of the golf swing, and in everything I had seen and read about the golf swing none of it emphasised it enough.

I carried out a survey on the Internet over several weeks and asked visitors to my web site the question:- What part of the body contributes the most to generating the maximum speed of the club head?

Only 20% got the answer correctThat's only 1 in every 5 golfers! And these golfers had a wide range of handicaps down to single figures.

Interestingly this figure corresponds to another golfing statistic - Did you know that only around 20% of golfers have a handicap of less than 18? It made me wonder whether the misunderstanding of the fundamental aspect could be the one thing that is holding so many golfers back.

Which part of the body do you think creates the maximum speed of the club head?

Is it:
Shoulders
Arms
Hands
Hips
Legs
Torso
wrists

....So the answer to the question that I posed above is that it is the hands (or wrists) that contribute the most to generating the maximum club head speed.

The club is moved through over 180 degrees whilst the arms move through less than 60 degreesall of the rest of the movement of the head of the golf club is generated by the movement of the hands. Unfortunately the large majority of golfers think that it is with the shoulders and arms.

I'll come back to this point later as even when you get everything else right in your swing this can be a real good swing killer!
