Re: Golfing misconception regarding power

Aftford, I agree.

Like many others I wasted a great deal of time when I started out in golf searching for the coiling forces in the legs, hips, shoulders etc to generate long drives. It was only when I started using the release to generate club head speed that things started improving. It is also true that good timing plays a big part in the way the club is delivered to the ball.

Grip, stance, alignment, takeaway, backswing etc etc are the important parts that position the club and body so that the angles in the wrist can be released to generate clubhead speed and power at impact by hitting hard with the right hand.
