Pillar Strength

“Pillar strength” is a term that is used to describe the complete integration of your hip, torso, and shoulder stability and is the foundation of all movement (Verstegen and Willams, 2008). You can think of your “Pillar Strength” being comparable to the shaft of a golf club, very strong and elastic. The “Pillar” is the centre hub of the golf swing, we want this hub to be perfectly aligned and stable so we can draw and effectively transfer energy through the swing.

Post Impact Drill -- by Grant Cook

Try the POST IMPACT drill to learn and feel the proper sequence in the swing... From your setup position, turn your hips to the target and transfer your weight to your target foot to emulate the impact position. Now extend the club towards the target down your toe line. From this position swing back and through. Feel how your body unwinds and creates effortless power.

Watch this tip and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Good luck and happy golfing!
