Have you ever wondered how someone with a golf swing like Jim Furyk experiences success in golf? As unusual as his swing is, it has produced a US Open Championship. Furyk’s swing is just one example. 
There is the swing of John Daly, who has two major victories in his career. Let’s not forget the unorthodox swing of Raymond Floyd. You could make the argument that Floyd had a pretty good career. He only has sixty-six professional wins with four major championships under his belt; two PGA Championships, a US Open, and some tournament that is held in Georgia. I think it’s called the Masters!
Through the aide of modern technology, researchers have been able to capture measurements of the human body during the most efficient golf swings in the world today. Putting the pieces together in an effort to improve does not revolve around making ones swing look like Tiger Woods or Ernie Els on a video camera. It is a proven fact that as different and individualistic as a golf swing is, the Kinematic Sequences of the best players in the world is almost identical.
Understanding Kinematic Sequencing is the key to swinging the golf club efficiently. Physical limitations can influence the sequence. Having said this, understanding the sequence allows you to address these areas that are hindering you from swinging the golf club efficiently.
Have you ever thought about decelerating in your golf swing? There is an element of deceleration in the golf swing that should exist when trying to improve your Kinematic Sequencing. In transition down swing, the best players in the world start with their lower body first. As the lower body moves towards the target and then begins to slow down, the thorax begins to maximize in terms of speed. As the thorax, or core, rotates towards the target it too will begin to slow down. At this point the arms are speeding up. Finally, as the arms slow down the club picks up speed. At this point the club is impacting the ball transferring energy from the ground all the way through the body and out of the club head into the ball. This chain of events is referred to as Kinematic Sequencing. Each segment of the chain slows down while the other accelerates, very similar to cracking a whip.
