How To Start Your Downswing For Explosive Power

Have you ever wondered how to start your downswing?

Matt Walter shows you how to start your downswing so that you can effectively put the most amount of effort into your golf ball.

One of the biggest things I see a lot of people do when it comes to creating a good delivery from the top of their backswing is that we don't utilize all the forces that we can to hit a golf shot.

So, there's three main forces that we can use off the ground: a lateral force, which is a push from side to side; a rotational force, which, as everybody knows, which is your turning; and a little bit of a vertical force, where you feel like you're jumping up off the turf.

So, we have to be able to use all three, and when we do this, we can use this to create the most effective power in our golf shot.

I have a drill called the 'bump, tuck, and turn' that will get you some more power, distance, and accuracy.

In this video, I also show you a great drill you can do at home.

What you end up with after using these drills is your ball flying at your target, nice, long, and straight.

I have watched about a million "how to" golf videos that for some reason never translate to my actual golf game. This is one that paid dividends almost immediately. Finally, you helped me find the missing piece to my game. I was shocked to see the ball go straight and further with less effort than I was using before. Thank you for this

Best video about the down swing! I'd tried all kinds of different way to carried out my down swing but some how i did not get the power swing I want. After watched your video then I realized that I started my down swing with "bump" first then followed with "tuck" after. There is a break between bump and tuck and is way too late for a smooth and powerful swing. Right now I learn to do the bump and tuck together in one piece. The result is just beautiful. Thanks a lot!!!

Excellent video by the way. I was doing this already thinking I was doing it wrong but still stuck to it because my shots were always solid.

Matt I love yore swing. I took a closer look at it in slow motion and it looks almost identical to the swing of Milo Lines of Golfletics and also has similarities to George Gankis teachings. I don't see a bump in your swing, instead, I see a sit down into your left side and flex of your knees to allow the body to lower to begin the downswing. I use to bump and I looked at myself and it resulted in a shove of my pelvis and my upper body going backwards. However, once I learned to sit down onto my left hip socket as I flexed the knees and the left hip moved back and around then I started looking like you look and as Milo and George look too. Also, this got me out of early extension too. I can't early extend if I am regaining the forward bend as I lower my body and feel the weight go onto my left hip as my hip goes behind me. But I do love your swing, you must hit it a mile.

Please explain the use of the word tuck or tucking. What exactly are you tucking?

[ufukgoksu]

Is bump and tuck happens at the same time? Thank you.

[charlesshanklin]

Matt, any chance you could do a how to fade the ball video? Thanks

[BC]

can you show the difference from a hip slide? I did a drill with the alignment stick but I was supposed to turn before my hips hit the stick because I was getting lazy and sliding my hips.

[knightshadow]

Good morning great vid, what do you call those poles, and where can they be purchased.?

[cwalker]

Nice video. Are you turning your hips and squaring the club at the same time?

[danielshields]

Thanks, Matt. Great Videos. I notice that you have a method that you use every time you grip the club. I struggle with confidence and consistency in my grip. Your method looks like it would help. Would you make a grip video?

[JoseMoreno-dtjc]

Thanks for the tip, should the right foot create the bump, or can you recommend what feeling you get when starting the swing?

[cavaleir]

I used this drill for a while and now I have a sway in my golf swing, how do I stop the swaying?

[patrickcrane]

i was always told you shouldnt bump into the stick because your sliding

[danielcary]

Bump is very misleading, especially to beginners, can cause a sway. Is should more feel like a crunch.

[jonblaz]

examining Pros swings they have them turned their hips by the time their hands get to the right thigh
