Simplifying the Golf Swing is a Result of Bending to the Ball
Simplifying the golf swing is easily achieved from a correct posture and then allowing the arms to swing on the line of the shoulders. By bending backwards from the knees and forwards from the hips one can lower down to the ball putting the torso on an incline that places the clubshaft at a right angle to the spine at address. With this torso tilt the shoulders are put on a parallel incline with the clubshaft and since the arms can swing very nicely on the line of the shoulders it is now very easy to swing back to the ball.
With this the club will naturally go up in the backswing and then down in the downswing to the ball without any effort on the part of …

But nearly all of what happens between these two positions is naturally occurring and doesn’t require much involvement on the part of the golfer to make them happen. In fact most of the time if the golfer gets involved in trying to make …

Getting the club light is only possible from a correct grip
Getting the club light in the backswing not only loads the right arm for power but allows any golfer to swing the club back faster and with more control. This light and levered condition can be easily obtained as it is established at address from a correct grip. With a good grip the club is already light as it is already in an up condition and only needs to be swung back.
In the picture above we see a most talented junior golfer Austin Shah in perfect posture made possible from the grip. This club is already up at address as seen with the angle formed by the clubshaft and arms. With his grip the heel pad of the left hand …
