The swing or circular movement of the body when hitting a golf ball is a series of consecutive and coordinated movements that enable hitting a golf ball with the aim of moving it straight towards the place we want.
Most golfers throughout history have shared the similarity of their body movements when swinging, but some have drawn everyone’s attention with the unique movements they make when swinging.
The shape and strength of the swing varies according to the club used, the distance required to move the ball, and the thrust used to hit the club.
The harmony of the swing movements from the beginning until the moment when the club touches the ball is one of the most important factors for success in golf, starting with the way we stand near the ball, two legs little open (depending on the club) helps keeping balance, waist parallel to the ground and shoulders parallel With a slight forward bend, this is the ideal place to start the swing.
Next comes the position of the club alignment with the ball, and here it is important to mention the grip (the connection point between the body and the club), a good grip helps in controlling the alignment of the club and thus the direction of the ball.
The swing begin with a circular movement back to the top, and we must always remember that the club at the highest point should never exceed the level of parallel with the ground, in this backward swing it is advisable to relieve pressure on the two legs by opening the right leg up and bringing the left forward with circular motions. At the top, the reverse movement begins to produce the force to hit the ball, and here the muscles of the hands and waist begin to give a push to the club to head strongly towards the ball, relying mostly on the left leg to bear the thrust energy.
When the ball is hit, the body continues the circular motion towards the left until the wave formed by the force of hitting the ball stops. Depending on the club and the power of the hitting, the club can stop at the waist level or complete the rotation to the opposite level of the body.
Learning the correct movements of the swing and implementing them correctly is the most important factor that helps in playing golf well and enjoying it as well. Swing is one of the most important fundamentals of the game and every player must exercise his swing enough until he finds complete harmony between his body and the movements in order to get the best results.
