| THE REVERSE C |
PHOENIX, Arizona - Do not....I repeat....do not practice swinging a golf club while standing on a golf ball. Now most of you are saying "OK, I can do that" but, in all seriousness, there is actually a golf swing method that instructs you to do just that - place a golf ball under your left foot to cure the Reverse C. For anyone who isn't familiar with the Reverse C, here's the definition from http://superglossary.com Reverse C: A finish position to the full swing where the hips are dramatically thrust out toward the target and the head is leaning back with the spine also arched backward. My own definition is a bit simpler, a Reverse C occurs when a golfer hangs back on his left side while attempting to make a full, high finish. The arching of the back creates the appearance of the letter C, but in reverse or a mirror image. This finish position usually results in a slice or other unproductive golf swing issue. No weight transfer occurs therefore power is lost. The OVER THE TOP GOLF swing completely eliminates this golf swing flaw because, as many have learned, one of the features of the swing is a walk-through finish.
Standing on a golf ball is just one of the odd teaching methods you'll find in the world of golf instruction. I've seen golfers being taught to swing brooms, rakes and golf clubs with hinges in the shaft. Remember the scene from the golf movie Tin Cup that shows Roy McEvoy decked out in an array of harnesses and a hat with some sort of aiming device dangling from it? A bit over the top but the spoof illustrated how ridiculous golf instruction methods have become.
Proper weight transfer in the golf swing is imperative if you want to cure your slice. Sure, in typical PGA-style golf instruction it requires balance and timing. Not so in the OVER THE TOP GOLF swing. Because of the unique finish position, correct weight transfer is automatically achieved. It not only acts to cure a slice but also fixes a myriad of other golf swing flaws including the Reverse C.
