Golf Swing Training Aids

PurePoint Gof has released a line of golf instruction traning aids that will help improve your golf game through effective practice.

Knee Flex During the Backswing

As you start back, both knees are flexed and during the entire backswing. The most important part to note here is that the right knee NEVER changes positions. It does not flex more, nor does it straighten out during the backswing. This right knee flex during the backswing serves as the foundation to your entire golf swing. At the top of the backswing the majority of your weight will be distributed over the right knee.
If you straighten out the right knee in the backswing your foundation becomes “taller” at the top, which makes it harder to find the ball at impact. The secret to lowering your scores is to build a consistent golf swing – a swing that you can repeat each and every time you swing the club. Straightening out the right knee adds complexity to your golf swing and makes it harder to repeat.
Swing Thought – Keep the right knee flexed the exact same amount throughout the entire backswing

Sway During the Backswing

Just as the right knee needs to keep it’s flex during the backswing, it also needs to maintain its lateral position. In other words, the right knee doesn’t “Slide” or “Sway” during the backswing. If your right knee slides away from the target during the backswing, the same inconsistencies will creep into your swing. It will force you to “recover” from the sway in the downswing. Again, this only adds complexity to your golf swing.
Many recreational golfers struggle with swaying away from the target in the backswing and moving towards the target in the downswing. The thought it that this will add power to their golf swing. In reality, this move causes everything from slices to fat shots. More importantly, it is a major cause of erratic shots, because you tend to recover differently every time you swing the club. One time you may hit the ball fat, the next you’ll overcompensate and pull the ball left.
Swing thought – Keep the right knee solid, and concentrate on not swaying away from the target in the backswing.
The Good News.
PurePoint Golf has released the Power Leg Strap which will automatically keep your lower body in the correct position in the backswing.
