I have described how to feel rhythm in my blog, “How to Feel Rhythm.”  I have described how to use the right little finger in my blog, “How to Use the Fingers.”  I have described how to develop an efficient down swing in my blog, “Feel an Efficient Swing.”   These are all necessary components of an effective and consistent golf swing.

The most important aspect of the down swing is to have patience to trust gravity and centrifugal force.  At the end of the pause in the transition to the down swing, everything has been done to gather energy that is to be released.  Gravity and centrifugal force are strong forces that are used by an efficient down swing.

Since the force of gravity is directed downward, use the force of gravity by feeling the right upper arm snap down.  The average golfer moves the arms to the left and up; horizontally and against the force of gravity.  This is why the average golfer has an inefficient swing.

Any attempt to move the club horizontally will create a tight right forearm.  The right forearm should not feel tight but should feel “empty.”  The force of the right little finger must be light in order to feel the stretch in the right forearm that is created by the force of gravity and centrifugal force.  If the grip force of the little fingers is greater than 1 out of 10, the tight feeling in the hands will negate the feeling of the force of gravity and centrifugal force and cause the arms and hands to manipulate the club.

When the right upper arm snaps down, this triggers the release of energy built up during the back swing coil.  The snap down uses gravity and the release of energy produces centrifugal force which is felt in the stretch of the right forearm and the stretch of the right little finger.  Feel the result of using gravity and centrifugal force by feeling the club swing toward the target.  Trying to move the body, arms, or hands toward the target is an inefficient motion that goes against gravity and does not use centrifugal force.

Use centrifugal force by allowing the energy to flow from the center outwards through the fingers.

Having patience to trust gravity and centrifugal force in the down swing is the best chance to execute an efficient and consistent golf swing.
