Gravity Will Work For You... If You Let It - By David Lee in Greenville SC

Ever wonder why some professional players swing so effortlessly and others look as if they’re working themselves to death?  

The ones that look effortless feel how to utilize gravity to decrease their internal effort and how it can aid them in moving their core-mass through impact.  They may not be able to explain exactly how they do it (Freddie Couples can’t – or won’t), but they certainly sense the recipe for allowing it to work.  The more you get gravity to help you in the swing, the less you have to rely on your own strength to create the power.  Moving a golf ball properly can be one of the most euphoric sensations imaginable, but I would say with a great deal of confidence that less than one person in a hundred has felt the total freedom of movement that Freddie feels.



There is a “recipe” that enables the “gravity” swing to work for anyone.  As in so many other sports where timing and technique are critical, a totally efficient golf swing requires that it be set into motion properly for all the physical “dominoes” to fall.  Once an individual stands upright on his/her feet, gravity can be used to shift the body’s weight and give effortless momentum to the follow-through.  In a proper swing, gravity also starts the arms down at the completion of the back-swing with no flex requirement from the arms and shoulders.  Knowing how to use gravity to diminish the need for using your own strength, will allow you to hit the ball farther with a fraction of the effort, and allow you to play to a very advanced age with minimal loss of power.
