The swinging of a golf club is a double-handed, ambidextrous motion which completely involves the player from toes to fingers. It is this all encompassing involvement of the player in a properly executed golf swing that gives a golfer that completeness of ease, grace and rhythm.
Being the two-legged creatures we are, it is understandable that to swing the club up and to the right we should balance ourselves on the right foot, and to swing the club down and to the left, we should rebalance ourselves on the left foot. However, at the very outset of the golf swing a quandary is presented.
In assuming the initial position from which to start the swing, the natural position for the hands on the club places the right hand in the lower position on the club handle. This invariably causes the player to relax the right knee slightly and by so doing the player finds himself balanced on the left foot. As long as he remains balanced on the left foot, it is unnatural to move the club from the ball.
However, through the simple process of the forward press, a slightly added forward movement of the right knee, the player can make a complete change of knee positions and balance himself on his right foot. Thus he can use his entire right side from hip to shoulder to lead his body into the diagonal stretch action, whereby the club can easily and naturally be raised to the top of the swing.
This handling of the knees-the forward press and the reverse press that are Steps 1 and 2 of the golf stroke-leaves the player so balanced when the top of the swing is reached, that it is possible to reverse the knee positions and thus rebalance the player on his left toe. The entire left side from hip to shoulder can then be used to lead the body into the diagonal stretch action to the left, so that the club can be brought down into and through the ball with a full, free, powerful movement.
There is no shortcut to this one-two action of the forward press and the reverse press and it will set the body up so that it can follow in perfect timing with the three-four movement of the up and down swing.
In addition to balancing the player so that he is ready bodywise to go into the swing, the one-two of the forward press and reverse press accomplishes one other thing. It moves the hands in a slight forward movement on Step 1 and carries the hands back on Step 2. It thus places them in a perfect position so that the hands can set or cock the club into position, in harmony with the upswing action of the body on Step 3. continue footwork, the key to good golf...
