Thoughts on Golf with Gaylord Rhodes

When my students come in for their first lesson I always ask what their goals are.  The most common answer is they want to be more consistent. The simple solution for this is to focus on creating better balance in their swings.

“In every athletic activity success seems to be proportional to the player’s sense of balance and force. Off balance force is very erratic.” Homer Kelly -The Golfing Machine

Your swing has one responsibility: to control the club(shaft, head and face) as your body performs the swing in balance.

 There are no positions in a swing motion. Only proper alignments, body rotation and geometry will allow you to swing in balance. Compensations create imbalance. the goal should be to achieve better balance which is accomplished by reducing your compensations. Reducing compensations reduces the need for timing and creates more consistency.

Sounds simple! The key is finding and developing a relationship with a coach that your trust and believe can help you develop and understand “YOUR BEST BALANCED SWING”.
