Justin Parsons on "The Haromon Code" (Video)

Justin Parsons, who is the Director of Instruction on the Butch Harmon School of Golf, did this brief video about the three matters that Butch tends to cognizance on while he works with gamers.

Those three keys are:

• Lower body stability: You don't want to move off the ball during your swing.
• A short and wide arm swing: It's easier to get a wide arc to your swing if you keep the swing short.
• Staying square through impact: You don't want to flip the clubface when you hit the ball.

He also includes drills for each of these. I found the drill for lower body stability to be an interesting twist on the one-legged swing drill.

It's interesting that Justin emphasizes Butch's belief that not all swings should be the same. In my opinion, the short backswing is a relatively recent invention that -- for most players, anyway -- results in swinging too hard and sometimes creating back problems. I think that you should make the longest backswing you can make comfortably . The key word is comfortably. But if you aren't flexible enough to make a long backswing, then you shouldn't because you can hurt your back that way as well.

And the ones of you who are longtime readers understand that one in every of my primary swing basics is that your swing must NOT harm!

At any charge, this is the first video I've seen that certainly explains Butch's most fundamental ideals about the swing. And on the grounds that the ones beliefs have made him the a success teacher they have got, they're well worth understanding!
