Involve your whole body in the downswing, since without involving your body your arms will get in front of you and tilt your body off the driving plan and off target. Only using the arms in the downswing creates hooks and slices in your golf ball's trajectory off the club. Rather than starting the downswing with your upper body, you must train your body to begin your swing at your feet, then move up your body, ending in contact with the ball.
Step 1
Move the club to the top of your backswing.
Step 2
Transfer the weight in your feet, shifting your weight from your right heel to your left toe if you are right-handed and from the left heel to the right toe if left-handed.
Step 3
Lower your arms as you shift the weight in your feet, lowering the club to the target line.
Step 4
Turn your hips toward the target as you lower your arms and shift your weight. Your back should face away from the target and you should feel a stretch in you back.
