Mechanics

[Matty2803]

Hi Folks.

Just wondering where best to find resources about the mechanics of the golf swing. I want to learn more about mechanics and teaching side of it.

If any one could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Golf loopy is good - although I think you now have to pay to access.

Ben Hogans book 'Five lessons' is still a masterpiece on golf swing fundamentals.

I think this is a great book http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Plane-Truth-Golfers-One-plane/dp/0071432450

+1 for "The Plane Truth" After I read it I understood why a lot of the instruction I had read in the past appeared to be conflicting.

This is a pretty good, if occasionally a bit technical. There is no pushing of a 'method', though a critical analysis of some. http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/

It also references quite a few other good references. Homer Kelly's 'The Golf Machine' is another slightly over-technical one, but lots of subsequent coaches have reworked the concepts without dumbing down them. Others have taken a single concept, re-badged it and called it their own!

Basically, read as many as you can - including 'off the wall' ones, as they all have things to offer. I'm even coming round a bit to Joe Dante's Conservation of Angular Momentum approach, though as an explanation/measurement rather than his absolute focus on it.
