Rank the TOP 3 MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS of the Golf Swing

[Brian Manzella]

You don't have a golf swing without decent sequencing.

Balance

 

[dschultz6072]

It works
It repeats
It holds up under pressure

 

[SPmoser87]

1: Balance
2: Speed in the right place.
3: Clubface orientation at impact.

 

[hrely]

Set up
Start downswing from ground up
handpath

 

[Ringer]

Sequencing with a grip that's presenting the hosel to the ball ain't much good either.

 

[TPG]

1. a functional pivot which provides for
2. correct arm and hand path which allows
3. hands to consistently square the clubface

 

[wulsy]

Sequencing with a grip that's presenting the hosel to the ball ain't much good either.

But ya don't win anything by chipping the ball around the course with a nice square clubface either!

 

[Brian Manzella]

Sequencing with a grip that's presenting the hosel to the ball ain't much good either.

Who said WHEN to close the face wasn't involved in sequencing?

It is a LARGE PART of sequencing.

predictive ball flight
power
repetitiveness

Love it.

I will also echo the comment of intent in that you need to have some GOAL in mind before hitting the shot.

1) Intent - what do you want to do? Do you understand the D - plane and how you need to swing in order to hit the fade or draw?

2) athletic pivot

3) face control

Who said WHEN to close the face wasn't involved in sequencing?

It is a LARGE PART of sequencing.

If sequencing, construed that widely, is no. 1 then 2 and 3 must be torques and alignments.

 

[wulsy]

Hey burly, you is a verie klever man.

 

[James Marshall (Hogan1953)]

Who said WHEN to close the face wasn't involved in sequencing?

It is a LARGE PART of sequencing.

Sooner rather than later, right?

 

[Burner]

Don't be too sure.

Hey burly, you is a verie klever man.

He only torques the torque. Still can't worque the worque.

 

[birly-shirly]

I makes no claim to either, Burner. Wulsy is very kind, but we're a clannish lot.

 

[Brian Manzella]

Obviously, my signature says it all, and says it so much better than anything else I could say.

"All you have is your hand path, the force along that path, and the torque about that path."​

So, let's expand on that....

"The only thing the golfer can do to move the club that hits the ball, is grip it and move it back away from the ball and then down toward then through the ball. As the golfer does that, his hands will have a path and the golfer can apply force along that path, and (or) torque the club while on that path—which obviously will adjust that hand path as a result."​

Period, end of story.


That is the single thing that is not only fundamental to the golf swing, as there is no swing without it, it is THE #1 fundamental, THE only thing that matters, THE all-encomansing, all-powerful, single most important detail to the swing and the game.

Suggesting that ANY one RESULT of the above is #1, is misguided at best, and marketing at worse.

I guess I'm on the right tracks then boss?
