The Answer

When taking this information into consideration, an appropriate technique for an efficient golf swing to achieve the furthest distance possible can be obtained. It is clear from this that the main objective of a golf swing is mobility. Through mobility momentum is gained and with the use of the kinetic chain of a ‘throw-like’ movement, force can then be applied onto the golf ball.

Through looking at the information presented about the golf swing and more particularly about a golf drive, it is now understood the reasoning behind the length of a driver in golf. This allows a greater time force can be applied to the club and therefore a greater impact that can occur on the golf ball. Therefore these factors result in the ball travelling a further distance than if the driver was of a shorter length.

Finally, as the cliché goes, you must start from the ground up. Momentum from the downswing of a golf stroke starts in the lower body. As the initial phase of the downswing occurs force is generated through the lower legs, momentum then continues through to the hips, then through the abdominals and finally as the completion of the downswing occurs, through the shoulders and arms which then swings through and makes impact with the ball through the use of the club.
