042: The Three Main Moves in the Golf Swing


Listen Later

Before worrying about small(er) technical details, golfers need to understand the big pieces that make the swing work. In this episode, Erik introduces what he calls the “three main moves” of the golf swing: 1) lateral motion, 2) rotation, and 3) vertical arm movement. The guys discuss why mastering these movements is essential before chasing finer mechanics. The crew breaks down how pressure shift and lateral motion set everything in motion, how proper chest and pelvis rotation differ from simple shoulder turn, and how the arms move up and down to create speed and shaft lean. They tie it all together with a discussion on sequencing: how energy is gathered, redirected, and delivered, and expand on why most swing problems trace back to getting these fundamentals out of order.

Hosts: Erik J. Barzeski, Jayson Nickol, Tyson Deskins
