What is your swing preference? Active body or active arms?

In this video Kris Moe shares with you the difference in hitting styles. Active body and passive arms or active arms and passive body.

The way you position your right hand (for righties) on the golf club handle will help you encourage a rotary golf swing or discourage a rotary golf swing. There is no right or wrong way. We all just have a preference. A simple way to know what your style is the way you like to hit short shots. Would you rather sweep the ball and launch the ball high (pitch shot) hit down on the ball and hit low and let it run out (chip and run)?

It's important to know your bias since there are actions in the swing that will complement that style such as a rotary swing golfers power the swing with a shorter backswing and a well timed shift and rotation or spin of their body. They also have a stronger right hand grip position and the club is in a "shut" position or directional left. A great example is Dustin Johnson with his bowed left wrist which is essentially is making it easier to square the face from a club lagging position.

Since you're on the planet right now you are benefitting in so many ways from technology and golf is no exception. Motion analysis (Gears Golf) is leading the way to so many break throughs on top of what we learned from Trackman (doppler radar).

Here I am at the ripe age of 56 years and pretty darn good golfer and I'm making radical changes in my own swing because of new information learned from golf's top bio-mechanists. I'd always been a big lagger of the golf club (thanks Golf Machine) but I've always struggled to hit high shots well. I also had a tendency to make deep divots under pressure and now I know why and I've since shallowed my swing for improved results after 42 years of playing golf by just understanding the timing of the swing better through technology and those sharing that information.

This video I made may help you as well to get some more power by using the ground as another leverage source.
