Four Magic Moves Golf - 5 Myths That Are Killing Your Game!

By John Lynch

Four Magic Moves Golf has uncovered the top 5 golf swing myths handed down by generations of pros that are pure RUBBISH!!

These 5 fallacies have done more harm to golfer's swings through the ages than all other golf tips combined. I believe these myths are the reason the average golfer’s handicap has stayed the same for the past 20 years - Even with all the advancements in equipment technology.

I will be pulling the curtain back on some golf theory many pros consider to be 'gospel'...so please keep an open mind.

Four Magic Moves Golf Presents - Top 5 Golf Myths That Are Ruining Golfer’s Game:

1. RELAX - Pure rubbish! How many times have you heard this from a golf pro or a playing partner? The golf swing is a violent action - is there any other violent action you take when you relax? - of course not - This is foolish advice.

2. Be Loose. This is the second cousin of "Relax". When you are "loose" in the golf swing your hips are NOT restricted therefore you will NOT have that all important coil in your backswing resulting in much less power.

3. Take The Club Back Inside - More rubbish! I'm sure you've heard many times how the correct golf swing is from the inside. So some golfers yank the club way inside early in their backswing thinking this will allow them to hit from the inside. These golfers are shocked when they still hit the golf ball from the outside. Hitting the ball from the inside comes from proper hip and shoulder action at the start of the downswing. You can take the club back way outside and still hit the ball from the inside - look at Jim Furyk - he takes the club way back to the outside however his move from the top of the swing is pure and from the inside.

4. The Club Head Follows The Same Path Going Back As It Does Coming Down. Again, this myth has been misguiding golfers for generations. The path of the clubface is much more to the inside during the downswing than during the backswing in a sound swing. The proper golf swing incorporates a lateral bump of the left hip toward the target to start the downswing from the top. This action of the left hip automatically puts the path of the clubface much more to the inside than the path going back.

5. Turn The Hips To The Left To Start The Downswing. This 'myth' causes golfers to "spin out" during the downswing and the result is a total mis-hit of the golf ball. The reason being the "spinning of the hips" throws the arc of the swing to the outside coming down causing a shank or mishit. Again, the correct move is a lateral shift of the left hip to start the downswing and the hips will then turn automatically. It is possible to NOT have this lateral shift and still turn the hips from the top - however, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have the lateral shift of the left hip to start the downswing and the hips NOT turn.

Hit 'em Long and Straight!
