is a kind of instructions given on the game of golf, because it isn’t.

Beginners when trying to hit a golf ball for the first time,  tend to lift the club up high with the arms and then pull steeply back down with the arms. The exact result of this type of swinging motion is a slice.

A block is caused by a series of improper movements that make it impossible to “release” the club correctly. The block and subsequent manipulations are not the ideal way to swing, however, it is possible to become fairly proficient at squaring the clubface at impact through the use of various manipulations.

Manipulations are movements that attempt to counteract the block. They can occur at address—a strong grip (anything stronger than neutral); during the backswing—a closed clubface; or during the forward swing—casting and

coming over-the-top, flipping, titleist pro v1 golf balls (throwing the clubhead into the ball with the hands), and rolling the arms over.

A release is the opposite of the block and subsequent manipulations (you either block  or release, you can’t have a combination of the two)—there is no tendency to drag the club through impact and therefore the clubface will not be significantly open.

Your body must move so it can synchronize with the arms and club, while at the same time create speed and maintain control. It’s simple, the body winds and unwinds (also referred to as coil and uncoil). For the body to move this way, the arms must swing more around the body.

The upright swing plane can have serious consequences to one’s ability to improve their golf game.
