Pro Tip: Work with Motion over Mechanics
Its all too easy for golfers looking to improve their swing mechanics to lose sight of the single most important factor in the game: swinging the clubhead. You simply must swing the club freely through the ball.
As long as it promotes this vital motion, training various parts of your body to reach certain positions during the swing can definitely help you play better. When such mechanics in any way inhibit the speed or correct positioning of the clubhead, however, they will always cost you distance or accuracy.
Fluid motion allows you to deliver the clubhead accurately and at a high rate of speed. And this kind of motion can only come from relaxed muschles. So beware of anything mechanical that restricts your muscles. Understand that attaining a particular positon during the swing, as ideal as it may seem, is worthless if it interferes with the free use of the clubhead.
Thus, a final tip: Always side with motion over mechanics when your not sure if a particular sing concept is working for you.
