If you’ve ever wondered how great golfers make the swing look so fluid, powerful, and effortless, you’re not alone. The golf swing is a beautiful mix of technique, timing, rhythm, and body mechanics—and mastering it can feel overwhelming.

That’s why we’ve put together The Complete Golf Swing Breakdown, paired with a Free Golf Video Series to help you learn visually, practice correctly, and transform your game step by step.

Whether you’re a beginner, weekend golfer, or seasoned player looking to refine your swing, this guide will walk you through every part of the motion with clarity and confidence.

⛳ 1. The Setup: Build the Foundation of a Great Swing

A perfect swing starts long before the club moves.
In the setup position, focus on:

• Feet shoulder-width apart for balance
• Slight knee flex to stay athletic
• Neutral spine and relaxed shoulders
• Weight evenly distributed
• Proper grip—not too tight, not too loose

A solid setup ensures your body is aligned to move efficiently through the swing.

🏌️ 2. The Takeaway: Start Smooth and Controlled

The takeaway sets the tone for your entire swing.
Key points:

• Move the club low and slow
• Keep the hands, arms, and shoulders moving together
• Maintain the triangle formed by the arms
• Avoid rolling the wrists early

A controlled takeaway helps you get into the perfect position at the top.

🌀 3. The Backswing: Create Power Through Rotation

Power comes from turning—not lifting.
In the backswing:

• Rotate the shoulders fully, ideally 90°
• Keep the lead arm extended, but not stiff
• Shift your weight to your trail side
• Allow your hips to turn naturally
• Keep the club on plane for consistency

This is where the energy for your downswing begins building.

💥 4. The Downswing: Sequence Is Everything

This is the moment where power, timing, and technique come together.

A proper downswing:

• Begins from the ground up (hips → torso → arms → club)
• Keeps your hands ahead of the clubhead
• Maintains a slight lag for maximum speed
• Encourages rotation—not throwing the arms

The right sequence delivers solid ball contact every time.

🎯 5. Impact: The Only Moment That Matters

At impact, focus on:

• Square clubface
• Forward shaft lean
• Balanced weight on the lead side
• Rotated hips facing the target

Clean, consistent contact is what separates great golfers from average players.

🏁 6. The Follow-Through: Finish Strong and Balanced

A good finish says a lot about the quality of your swing.

• Chest facing the target
• Full weight on the lead leg
• Balanced, athletic posture
• Club wrapped fully around the back

If you can finish in balance, it means your entire swing was efficient and controlled.
