BEN HOGAN'S "POWER GOLF" 10.-The Downswing
The downswing is said to start at the top of the swing, but that is not correct as there is no final top of the swing position. By the time the club reaches; what is often referred to as the top of the swing, the down- swing has really started. Exactly at that moment, how.. |ever, you reach the second of the golfing crises, or cross-. roads, I outlined in my introductory paragraphs in this chapter.
The first movement in the downswing is the turning of the left hip to the left. Forget about your arms, hands, shouldere and club at that moment and start the hips turning, led by the left hip.
