To begin with
foundation.
Understanding the three foundations will help you level up significantly faster.
The Foundation of the Golf Swing #1: The Pendulum Movement… The golf swing is primarily driven by the pendulum movement.
The 2nd Foundation of the Golf Swing: Rotation… Adding Rotation to Your Body Increases Pendulum Movement
The 3rd Foundation of the Golf Swing: Leg Movement… Natural Linkage Comes Through Leg Movement
Regarding the relationship between the three foundations… each is connected to create an efficient swing.
If you want to level up as quickly as possible, focus on practicing the areas you lack.
Chapter 1.
Let's reflect the movement of the pendulum in the swing.
The reproducibility of a pendulum… Thinking of a pendulum leads to a highly reproducible swing.
Maintaining the fulcrum… Maintaining the position of the back of the neck allows for a stable swing.
Using the pendulum differently… There are two methods depending on the distance you want to send it.
The role of the wrist… Accelerate the clubhead through the pendulum of the wrist rest.
Wrist power… Using your wrists smoothly to turn the club
How to caulk… Let's check the correct caulking method with our own hands.
The structure of the face turn… Face control is done with the wrist and rotation.
Maintaining a rhythm… matching the rhythm of the pendulum leads to a highly reproducible swing.
The power in your arms… the pendulum maintains a tight balance.

Chapter 2.
What you need to rotate your body correctly
Axis of rotation… Rotation means ‘rotating the body’ around the spine.
The trick to turning your body… if you are conscious of your back, you can turn smoothly.
Twist… Don't just turn your body, create a twist.
Changes in Orbit… Twist to Naturally Create the Right Swing Orbit
The key to creating a twist is to swing while feeling the tension in your sides.
How to prevent underrotation… Rotate your right shoulder all the way back to the back of your neck to prevent underrotation.
The Dangerous Principles of Swinging If You Don't Know It
Column
Chapter 3.
Learn to swing far without using force by using efficient leg movements.
Standing still… Let's transform our everyday "walking" into a swing.
Movement of the right leg… kick the ground while turning the right leg inward.
Movement of the left leg… The left leg is straightened while stepping straight down on the ground.
The secret to increasing distance… If you want to send it far, step hard on the ground.
Bend your lower body… bending like you're swinging will propel the club forward.
Weight shift… Let's examine the weight shift caused by leg movement as a series of flows.
The Dangerous Principles of Swinging If You Don't Know It
Column
Chapter 4.
Remember the movements and postures for each position.
Address… The success of the shot is determined by the posture you take.
Grip 1… You can tell a person's skill by looking at their grip.
Grip 2… Think of the grip as something you “hang” rather than something you “hold”
Takeback… Looseness in the takeback can be fatal to your swing.
Top… Was the "armpit tightening" lie? Let's aim for a big top.
Transition… 3 principles: 'Don't rush,' 'Don't push,' 'Don't force.'
Downswing, impact… Leave the momentary movements you can't control to the club.
Follow through… Feel the tension in your arms as they stretch
Finish… The finishing posture is all about getting the swing right.
Column
Chapter 5.
Let's learn about the differences in hitting techniques by club.
Driver 1… 'Ground and Air', changing posture according to the ball's position
Driver 2… The more nervous you get, the more you swing without fear.
Driver 3… The club with the weakest grip among the 14 clubs
Fairway woods… If you can eliminate the backswing miss, you can overcome fear.
Middle Iron… The quality of your 5-iron determines the perfection of your swing.
Short irons… Reduce wrist movement and thoroughly control shots.
Wedge 1… Within 100 yards, control the width of the pendulum movement and hit it separately.
Wedge 2… Get into a position where you can swing the club narrowly around the green.
Wedge 3… Depending on the club selection, determine whether to roll or stop.
Bunker 1… If you think about using only your wrists, bunkers become much easier.
Bunker 2… Be mindful of the amount of sand you scoop out, not the ball.
Putter 1… Basic posture for accurate putting
Putter 2… The ideal is "the strength to hold a kitchen knife."
Putter 3… Putter techniques that improve distance, direction, and run

The Dangerous Principles of Swinging If You Don't Know It
Detailed image
Into the book
The correct order for swinging is 'lower body → upper body → arms → club'.
The arms rotate according to the movement of the lower body.
This way, you will have a smooth swing that is as natural as walking and does not strain your body.
Also, when you step out, your waist rotates.
Since the waist can rotate significantly, the upper body can also rotate significantly, so a sufficient amount of rotation can be obtained.
The flexibility of a typical amateur makes it difficult to turn the body while keeping the feet together.
Many amateurs don't move their legs.
The desire to match is so strong that it stops.
When I teach, some people are surprised and ask, "Is it okay to bend your knees like this?" But it's better to move your legs a lot.
--- p.15
If you can always hit the ball the same distance in the same direction with the sweet spot of the club head, your score will naturally improve.
So what we need is a pendulum movement.
First, imagine a pendulum and swing it.
Think of the club as one bar from your arms to your neck and move it around it.
This is the fundamentals of the swing and the most important trick to increasing repeatability in golf.
Next, relax your wrists and move them freely.
If you shake it like before, your wrist will bend and the club head will have more momentum.
This is a 'double pendulum' situation.
In addition to repeatability, if you can accelerate the clubhead, you will have an efficient swing.
--- p.33
The most common cause of golfers struggling with a slice is lack of rotation.
The best way to fundamentally fix a slice is to turn your body properly, and to do that properly, you need to be conscious of your back.
For the backswing, be aware of your back facing the target.
You have completed a full rotation when your back is facing the target direction and your upper body is turned 90 degrees.
Also, some people turn their bodies during the backswing, but cannot turn their bodies during the follow-through.
In order to hit with the correct pendulum motion, you must turn your body symmetrically left and right while following.
Be aware that the surface of your back at the top has turned 180 degrees.
Then you can turn your body properly when following.
--- p.51
It is necessary to have a good swing form.
But just following the posture won't make it work.
Because in order to improve rhythm, timing, and the right feel, you need to develop your 'feel'.
Golf, like any other sport, has some aspects that cannot be learned through theory alone.
For example, when you're sprinting, you don't think about the details.
But when it comes to golf, there are a number of things to think about.
When you want to send the ball far, you think about too many things like 'let's create gathering power', 'let's raise the backswing high', and if the shape becomes the goal, you won't be able to swing it quickly.
--- p.102
A bunker shot is not about hitting the ball, but about hitting the sand directly in front of it.
Therefore, to hit well, you need to focus on the amount of sand you scoop up rather than the point of impact.
If the amount of sand you scoop out is constant, the distance will be stable, and if you can control that amount, it will be easier to adjust the distance.
The less sand you scoop out, the more the ball will float, and the more sand you scoop out, the less it will float.
It is important to practice to determine the distance for each amount of sand.
--- p.125
Many amateur golfers lack spin.
This is because it is not rotated correctly or lacks flexibility.
In that regard, I will introduce two repetitive exercises that have a stretching effect and help you learn how to rotate your body.
Being able to properly rotate your body will not only increase your distance, but also improve your slice.
First, there is the repetitive practice of carrying the club on your back and swinging.
Please try to turn quickly while being conscious of the twist.
By holding the club, you will feel that it is easier to turn your body as you are in the correct posture.
The arms rotate according to the movement of the lower body.
