Load Better to Shorten Your Golf Swing, Improve Transition

Many golfers struggle with overswinging, and the root cause is that they start — and continue — the swing with excessive arm movement.

Think of the golf swing like a crescendo. It starts out smooth and slow, then just builds and builds. Whatever you initiate at the beginning tends to intensify and become more exaggerated as you continue.

This is precisely what happens with the arms. Overswingers start swinging their arms back, with the body merely following along passively.

The body is not controlling the movement. It is simply bracing to prevent you from falling over and to allow the arms to swing freely.

You end up with a swing where you never feel properly loaded. No matter how many times your instructor tells you to stop overswinging, you feel like you are only three quarters of the way back, so you keep going because you never feel loaded up at the top of your swing.
