Golf swing

A coordinated motion that uses a golf club to strike a stationary ball. Its sequence of rotation, arm movement, and club release determines the ball’s direction and speed.

Address position: The golfer’s stance and club setup immediately before starting a golf swing. A stable setup establishes the alignment and posture from which the swing begins.
Golf club: A sporting implement with a shaft and clubhead, designed to strike a golf ball. Club length, loft, and design change the motion and impact required for a shot.
Golf drive: A tee shot intended to cover a long distance, commonly struck with a driver. The drive uses a full swing to prioritize distance while controlling launch and accuracy.
Stack and tilt: A golf swing method that keeps the golfer’s weight comparatively forward through the motion. It offers a distinct alternative to instruction emphasizing a substantial weight shift.
Ben Hogan: An American professional golfer renowned for his ball-striking and instructional book Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf. His teaching system gave lasting influence to how golfers analyze swing fundamentals.
Backswing: The first phase of a golf swing, in which the club moves away from the ball and rises. This loading phase sets the club and body positions for the downswing.
Grip (golf): The way a golfer holds the club with the hands. Hand placement influences clubface control and the ability to release the club.
Iron shot: A golf shot played with an iron club, often toward the green. Iron swings adapt the full motion to produce controlled distance and trajectory.
One-plane swing: A golf swing style in which the arm swing and torso turn follow a similar plane. It contrasts with two-plane techniques, where the arm and body motions use different planes.
David Leadbetter: A golf instructor known for coaching elite players and publishing instructional works on swing technique. His coaching popularized detailed, structured approaches to swing instruction.
