Perfect Golf Swing

A question for the ages in relation to the Perfect Golf Swing. Golfers around the world are familiar with the term club head speed. It is the rate at which the golf club is traveling at impact with the golf ball. Golfers are also familiar with the term power.
They know that power is directly related to club head speed. Knowing the connection between the two, which comes first?

Club head Speed and Power in the Golf Swing

Take a moment to answer the question; which comes first, club head speed or power?

Write down your answer and continue reading. Before we answer this question, let us do a quick review of both club head speed and power.

Club head Speed

Again, we understand that club head speed is the rate at which the club head is moving at impact with the golf ball. The development of club head speed is a resultant of your golf swing mechanics. It is essentially a summation of the entire process of the Perfect Golf Swing, beginning with address, moving through the back swing, into transition, onto the downswing, and completing with impact.

The paragraph above should answer the question of which comes first; club head speed or power? Club head speed is the resultant of power development with the mechanics of the Perfect Golf Swing.

The next question we want to ask is about power:

How is Power Developed in the Golf Swing?

Power is a combination of two entities:

1. Golf Swing Mechanics
2. Body

Your golf swing mechanics is the efficiency at which you perform the golf swing. Essentially, the golf swing can be broken down into the stages. These stages are; Address, Backswing, Transition, Downswing, Impact, and Follow Through

Each of these stages within the golf swing can be performed efficiently or inefficiently. PGA Tour players tend to perform the mechanics of the golf swing very efficiently, where as the 30 handicapper performs them very inefficiently.

If the mechanics within each stage of the golf swing are efficient. The creation of power and transfer of this power into club head speed is at a greater percentage.

On the flip side, if each stage is performed inefficiently. The amount of power developed and transferred into club head speed becomes a low percentage.

The first key in power development and the generation of club head speed is golf mechanics.

Efficient Golf Swing Mechanics = Greater Power Development and Club head Speed

Once we understand that Perfect Golf Swing mechanics equals more power and club head speed. We can turn our attention to the support structure of your golf swing.

The Body

The body is what drives the golf swing. It is your skeleton, muscles, and nerves performing the mechanics of the golf swing. As a result, your body has a direct affect on how much power you generate in your golf swing.

The mechanics of The Perfect Golf Swing requires certain levels of:

Flexibility
Balance
Strength
Endurance
Power

Optimal levels within these body categories allow for the possibility of performing the mechanics of the golf swing at their most efficient levels.

For example, a full shoulder in the back swing is necessary for optimal power development. In order to perform a full shoulder turn, you must have a high level of flexibility.

If you are lacking the flexibility to perform a shoulder turn it will affect the amount of power you can generate.

Bottom line the body is the foundation on which the Perfect Golf Swing is developed.

If you have a weak foundation, you will have a weak golf swing.

Efficient Golf Swing Mechanics + A Strong, Flexible, and Powerful Body = Club head Speed

We now know club head speed is a product of power development in the golf swing. Power development within your golf swing is contingent upon two entities. The first entity is your golf swing mechanics. Performing the mechanics of the golf swing efficiently elicits more power. Secondly, it is the body. Optimal power development requires certain levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power within the body. Put these two entities together and you have the ability to generate high levels of club head speed within your golf swing.
