Full Swing · Technique

Start the downswing with a slight downward sink

To start the downswing, the speaker uses a slight downward move - sinking down just a little (he cites an average of about three inches, done slowly rather than quickly). Moving down a little lets you feel some pressure in the lead foot, as if you're sinking, and it produces a slightly bent arm with a little movement down into the ball. He pairs it with the head moving slightly to the side, the chest opening up, and the left side rising.
