Pull the Trigger

photo credit: rioncm   Every golfer needs a “trigger” to begin their swing.  How you start your swing influences your entire swing.  If you start with a jerk, or from a standstill, your muscles will remain very tense.  Both of these can actually ruin a swing.  Here are a few triggers to consider:  1)  Forward press > a slight move forward with the wrists just prior to starting the swing.  2)  Head swivel > turning your head to the right makes a clearance the way for your lead shoulder.  3)  Kick in the right knee > Move it towards the target just prior to takeaway.  4)  Open the hips > just use a slight hip twist prior to starting the swing.

Each of these starting points will help you develop a smooth consistent swing.
