Many of you saw the title of this article and thought that this was just another article about the arms staying connected to the core! If that was the case for you, you were wrong.
- True, the arms should remain connected to the body in an efficient golf swing. However, the message of this article has nothing to do with the arms at all. In all actuality this article is encouraging disconnection. This article is addressing the disconnection of the Core from the Lower Body.
- In the grand scheme of things, the disconnection from the core and the lower body is often the first step in maintaining the connection of the arms and the core.In the most efficient of the efficient golf swings, there is without a doubt, separation of the lower
body and the core. In the most efficient and powerful golf swings of this era, the lower body remains extremely quiet while the core is rotating around the spine. This is the disconnect that is ideal in the golf swing. Once the lower body rotates along with the core during the back swing, extra moves must occur. More times than not the disconnect of the arms is the result of the extra moves.- With the golf swing being an athletic movement, it is extremely important to be physically capable of making these movements. In order to achieve true disconnection of the lower body from the core, the legs must be strong enough to support the upper body while it rotates. More times than not, if the lower body is not strong enough it will begin to sway or rotate along with the core. This kind of move will cause the golf swing to deteriorate.
