Die 3 Schlüssel für Geschwindigkeit (gelten für jeden!)

That was a really good ball contact, drifted a little bit to the right with the wind, but pin high, that's how golf is fun. The three key movements for speed have now enabled me to play the 6 iron from about 190 meters to the flag, provided a little downhill, but also wind from front left, quite close to the flag. The three key movements apply to all strokes, i.e. iron, of course, also wood, including driver. The three key movements also apply to golfers of all levels, but also of all ages. Of course, golfers of older semesters may not be able to perform these movements to the same extent as young professionals. But the fact is that every golfer can do more of it than before and thus swing the racket faster and guarantee more length. Have fun with this video. The first point is that we want to accelerate the racket head as much as possible right at the beginning of the swingback. In general, the faster you catch up, the faster the racket will be in the hit. The idea of ​​wanting to act more controlled and slow in the swingback is outdated. Of course, there are golfers who say, I feel more comfortable when I catch up slowly. There are also good professional players who catch up relatively slowly. But the fact is, all these golfers would swing faster if they caught up faster. I can say for myself that it even feels more controlled. Because with this clear acceleration impulse at the beginning of the swingback, a certain flow of movement is set in motion. So the racket swings around me instead of being controlled and thus also manipulated somewhere. A much better rhythm is created, I get more control over the hit area and more speed. The key here is a trigger movement, i.e. a movement sequence that is predisposed to the actual start of the movement. It is simply impossible to start the racket rhythmically, dynamically, if you have been in an absolutely rigid position for a long time before that. You may have seen that professionals sometimes even have a fairly long movement sequence before the actual stroke. This has nothing to do with nervousness. This is the way they have developed for themselves, how they can move the body into a state. This is exactly what it is about, to achieve this state, so that the racket can now be swung really dynamically and rhythmically. So you can really say that we want to accelerate the racket twice in the swingback. The first time directly at the beginning of the swingback and then of course in the hit phase into the swingback, the second time. In order to be able to shape the start correctly, we not only have to use our hands correctly, but also use our body accordingly. In order for the body to work properly, we really have to feel the ground and really push ourselves away from the ground. Accordingly, you should develop a trigger movement, in which you first let the pressure move very slightly from left to right. To do this, you certainly have to move your hip very slightly from left to right. It doesn't have to be as extreme as I'm doing now. You will see that a very slight movement is enough for you to already feel a certain rhythm. And if you have done this a few times and feel this rhythm, then when the pressure moves from the left foot to the right foot, then I use this movement to push myself off the right foot very forcefully. This powerful push now moves my right shoulder very dynamically up and back. And this movement of the right shoulder up and back ensures that the hands now have the space to throw the stick really powerfully up. You will immediately notice how much faster your swing will be. Maybe it doesn't feel as controlled at the beginning, but it will get much better after a few repetitions. If you want our personal support in making your swing feel as powerful and efficient as it has never been before, then you are welcome to sign up for the free analysis conversation. You can find the link below this video. The second key is that we want to transfer a significant shift in pressure from the right foot back to the left foot already during the swingback. This does not mean that the entire center of gravity shifts massively from right to left, but that we put forces into the ground in a clever way and massively improve the efficiency and coupling of the swing. Even if we are often criticized for this, I will give you the two most typical mistakes. The clearer it is to you what should not happen, the clearer it is to you what the right movement should look like. The first common mistake is that golfers never transfer the pressure to the right foot and immediately go to the left. Often in the attempt to hit the ground safely to the left of the ball. You achieve this too. However, from this position, if the upper body goes too far to the left, you will automatically hit the ball into slices from the outside. We want to prevent that, of course. The second problem that you often see is that the transfer of pressure to the right takes too long and goes over the entire swingback. Now, however, I will run into great danger. You see, to hit the ground too early. In order not to hit the ground too early, I put my arms up, I will top the ball. At the same time, I also lose a lot of speed in this movement. Professionals already shift the pressure very early and clearly on the right foot and then directly on the left foot. This creates two very essential effects. The first is that the racket can accelerate much more clearly and rhythmically. Let's imagine I want to swing the racket. If the racket goes to the right, I now go to the right with my pressure. If it goes to the left, I go to the left with my pressure. Then there is very little swing. However, if I go to the left with my pressure while the racket swings to the right and vice versa, then there is a very clear swing without effort. We want to take advantage of exactly this condition in the swingback. I go to the right with the pressure, the racket goes to the right. Now the racket goes further to the right, but my pressure goes to the left and the racket accelerates backwards. That's how it's really fun. The second point is that we also create a certain form of separation. And that's exactly what will allow us to shape the start of the swing optimally. If the pressure goes to the right, now the pressure goes to the left again. If, however, the racket still swings to the right while my pressure goes to the left, that gives me all the time in the world to shape the start of the swing correctly. The racket will swing from behind by itself and I can use the whipping effect perfectly. However, I have to prepare all these things in the swingback through the correct pressure shift. We are now practicing this together. You will see that I make the movement relatively extreme. You have to feel it as extreme as possible. You will be surprised that it doesn't look that extreme from the outside. First, take your arms in front of your chest and make sure that the belt buckle pushes a few centimeters towards your right foot. And you feel how the pressure under your right foot increases. You use this pressure now to push yourself away with your right foot, to stretch the right leg. That throws the right shoulder up and the left shoulder comes down. This condition ensures that I push myself into the ground with my right foot at the beginning of the swingback and with my left foot at the end of the swingback. If you feel that well, you immediately add a whip. Try to make exactly the same body movement and feel this effect in the whip, that this pressure shift from right to left ensures that the whip, without your attention, swings relatively clearly back and up. The next point is to add the swingback. And to feel how the fact that we push our left foot into the ground early, ensures that the head of the whip can hang behind. We really get time at the beginning of the swingback and the head of the whip accelerates more and more into the momentum. It looks like this in one demonstration. I feel how fast the whip is here in front and how much time I have with the start of the swingback. If you do that well, of course, you also try to hit balls with it. Try not to accelerate the whip as much as possible, but to implement this pressure shift as best as possible. If you have done the first two points correctly, we can get to the grand finale and give the ball a real one. The big advantage of this pressure shift in the swingback from right to left is that we can maximize the pressure under the left foot very early in the swingback. So push very forcefully with your left foot into the ground. We still need enough time before the hit to push ourselves away from it again. And this pushing away will release a high degree of head speed. We can certainly maximize this movement with the driver the most, because here we have the tee available and want to hit the ball in the upward movement. With the iron, we still have to make sure to hit the ground to the left of the ball. This powerful push-off has many advantages. I would like to name two of the most important ones. The first is that this powerful push-off ensures that the left shoulder comes up more over the length of the left leg and that the hands swing up to the sky over the left shoulder. This has nothing to do with spoons. We can still compress the ball cleanly. However, it ensures more speed. I can demonstrate this to you here. If I drop the stick down and keep my hands at the same height, the stick swings up to here. If I now move my hands slightly upwards while the stick falls down, you can see that the speed has been greatly increased. And this is exactly the effect we create in the hitting phase. The second point is that this powerful push-off and thus a stretch of the body not only goes up, but even back away from the target. This means that the hands now have a force direction to the back up in this direction. And the center of mass of the stick always wants to come in this direction. This means that the stick is still here in the back. The center of mass wants to come very forcefully in this direction and thus accelerate even more. This is the whip effect that we can use perfectly over this powerful stretch. You first practice this movement without a stick with crossed arms in front of the chest. Think about the starting position of the push-off and try to push as hard as possible with your left foot into the ground from here. As if you want to squeeze an object under your left foot. You now use this pressure to push yourself away as powerfully as possible. You do it right when the left foot is thrown backwards. I don't try to jump up artificially. If that happens, you haven't pushed yourself enough into the ground. The movement of the left leg backwards is a consequence of catapulting away and not jumping up artificially. From this perspective, it looks like this. In the next step, you take a stick and go back to this static position after the start of the push-off. You will now maximize the pressure under your left foot, push yourself away powerfully and feel how an extremely high speed of the stick head emerges from this stopped movement. With a little practice, you can now transfer this to a liquid swing.
