TIPS FROM
KEN VENTURI:
CLOSING THE GAP

Back to Index

 

If you were to plant a post or shaft vertically in the ground just outside your lead foot and then turn into the backswing, a “GAP” is created between the shaft and the lead hip.  To initiate the downswing we want to close that gap with the lower body driving forward and the club following.  By driving the lower body forward early in the downswing, you will increase your clubhead speed and ensure a correct path for the club to follow.
