Clubhead Acceleration
The Golf Factory explains clubhead acceleration, the seventh of ten distinctions between the two prefect
golf swings.
The two perfect golf swings are The Centrifugal Force Swing (swinging swing) and
The Muscular Force Swing (hitting swing).
The seventh distinction is CLUBHEAD ACCELERATION.
In the Centrifugal Force Swing (The Swinging Swing), clubhead acceleration is achieved by a downward pull
of the grip end of the golf club. This accelerates the clubshaft lengthwise, longitudinal acceleration. This
longitudinal motion is maintained until the clubhead gets outside of a perpendicular line of the shaft with the
ground. Once, the clubhead gets outside of this line, centrifugal force takes over and leads the clubhead into
with the golf ball. This longitudinal acceleration begins quickly and the clubhead gains speed as it moves
downward, outward and forward, through impact with the golf ball.
In the swinging swing,the club is accelerated in this precise order:
Downward pull of the hands starts acceleration
Centrifugal Force , the uncocking of the left wrist, adds speed
Right arm uncocking adds more speed
Body rotation adds the final accelaration
In the Muscular Force Swing (The Hitting swing), clubhead acceleration is achieved by a simultaneous downward,
outward and forward thrust of the right arm against the clubshaft. This right arm thrust toward impact with
the golf ball is radial acceleration. Radial acceleration starts out slow and builds speed as it moves through
impact with the golf ball.
In either the centrifugal force swing or the muscular force swing the clubhead gains speed from the start of the
downswing until the clubhead has passed through the impact with the golf ball.
In the swinging swing, from the start of the downswing through the follow through, the clubhead is always being
pulled.
In the hitting swing, from the start of the downswing through the follow through, the clubhead is always being
pushed.
