How To Unleash More Power With the Legs
Weight shift - many beginning golfers find this difficult to execute, an unnatural feeling, and not clear why it must be done. In addition, there is the subject of the legs - some golf pro's ignore them almost totally in their system. Some say "this is an upper-body swing using the legs only as solid base."

Golf - Why Slowing Down Can Increase your Clubhead Speed
Sometimes there is a small observation described in golf books that - "it has been observed with high speed photography that pros slow down their body turn during the hitting zone." And then the book continues on to another subject. But why? I have never seen any further commentary on this point except in Theodore Jorgensen's book - The Physics of Golf. ...

Golf - DANGER! - Use this golfing Power Source only at your own Peril
The power source I would like to talk about today is the rotation of the left forearm. Please perform this test. Take a club in your left hand only. Cock your wrist. Imagine the face of a clock on the ground in front of you. Turn your left forearm to the 3 o'clock position to back again to the 9 o'clock position. See how far the clubhead moves with only the turning of... (posted by John 5 years 38 days ago.)

Super Golf Hitting Power
We all want more power and more distance in our golf swing. And very fortunately, there are several options for creating power. If one does not feel good or suit your body type, there are still many more that can be used. This report is about hitting. Hitting, as contrasted to swinging, is when the player accelerates the clubhead by PUSHING ON THE SIDE OF THE GOLF CLUB. Technically, this is called a "radial acceleration"...
