What does the video say about chest movements in golf swings?

  • In the webinar, Phil Cheetham provides a detailed analysis of chest movements in professional golfers' swings, particularly focusing on how the chest behaves as the swing approaches impact. Contrary to what some might intuitively think, the chest does not continually sway towards the target throughout the downswing. Instead, it sways towards the target initially and then, just before impact, as the club is released, it moves back away from the target. This movement occurs in 100% of the top professional golfers in their database, especially with the driver, highlighting its importance in the mechanics of a swing.
  • The backward sway of the chest before impact helps in balancing the forces as the club moves at high speeds, preventing the golfer from losing balance due to the large force of the club pulling forward and towards the target. This action, if executed correctly and timed well, aids in the effective release of the club, potentially increasing the speed of the club head at impact. Cheetham's discussion points to the critical role of upper body movements in optimizing swing performance and achieving greater efficiency and power in the golf swing.
