When it comes to golf you need to know all the different little transition points and the check points that you can use to make your swing very good and consistent. There is already an article that has been written by me talking about the golf backswing and now we need to transition from the backswing to the golf downswing. This is a very important transition and here is what you need to know.
First, when you are at the top the biggest mistake that most golfers make is they get the club way too far inside. This is something that causes them to cast the club, cut across the ball, and slice the ball all over the course. This is not something good and you do not have to deal with any of this type of golf anymore.
Second, at the top before you begin the golf downswing you need to have the club parallel to the ground and your hands should be in line with your sternum. This is a good position to allow you to transition and come from the top of the backswing to the golf downswing. This is something that you need to get to and if you can get into this position you will have a great chance to hit the ball correctly and in the way that you plan to.
Last, when you go from the top of the backswing to the downswing you will want to hold your lag or wrist hinge as long as you can and crack the club down on the ball like a whip. This is all started by bumping the hips towards the target and attacking the ball from the inside. If you look at nearly all of the top professional golfers you will see this specific hip bump starting their downswing.
