Too Much Upper Body In Transition

Firing the upper body early is a natural movement, but causes problems for your golf swing

Firing the upper body too soon in transition causes a lot of inconsistency. It usually shows up in three forms.

  1. Pulling the arms down
  2. Pushing the club away from you
  3. Spinning the shoulder blades around the body

Commonly, if you have one of these problems, you'll likely have at least 2. There are two ways to train using less upper body.

  1. Use your lower body more
  2. Use your upper body less

This section helps you focus on those two key features of the Stock Tour Swing.
