Proper Golf Swing Posture

Video Transcript

"On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Ray Boone and I run the Ray Boone Golf Academy at the beautiful Miami Beach Golf Club. Today I'd like to present to you the topic of the over the top golf swing. I'd like to talk to you about one more aspect that you see in all good players. You'll see them all in balance as they swing rate rhythm, again they're relaxed and they setup with a good foundation of the legs. So what that means is we want to get in a more athletic position that you would see other players play sports. The tennis player is in that position, they're athletic, they're balanced, their knees are flexed okay, they have a low center of gravity. We would like that position to play golf from. So when we setup we're bending over from the hips, but we want to get that athletic position. So you'll feel like you're sticking your rear out a little bit, you'll have some flex in the knees. That's going to give us a position to where we can move our body in either direction. I can move to the right on the back swing and I can fire through it on the forward swing. If I'm out of balance, the feet are rolling, the legs are straightening, all these different things you see in bad golfers you're never going to see consistency in your swing. Knees flexed, butt out and you're in good posture to swing the golf club. On behalf of expertvillage.com thanks for watching."
