with a simple and easy set of tests, you can discover your
most dynamic, consistent and efficient golf swing.
In this session you will learn:
1. How to best set up your body, arms and hands.
2. How your body, arms and hands track to the top of the
backswing.
3. How your body, arms and hands work best to slot the
club in the downswing and through impact.
4. Exercises and games to reinforce your natural
biomechanical golf swing.
5. Exercises to strengthen your dominant power
dimension.
And more…2

“Those who know how
precise it can be, know how
precise it needs to be.”
~Homer Kelley
These Slides are designed to help you develop
your natural and most consistent set-up
Our ground up approach
• Posture
– Athletic Set-Up- fingertips to the top of the knees
• Height vs. Width- rotational vs. lateral swing styles
• Pivot Point Assessment- where you balance from
4
Stance Width
• Using a medicine ball and hold with you’re your
elbows and arms and rotate back. Take your
golf stance with the new power angles and
measure stance width.
• My stance width should be __” apart
5
Athletic Set-Up/Golf Posture
• Standing tall, tilt from the hips until your fingers
touch the top of your knees.
• Bow from the hips so your belt buckle feels like it
points at the ball, bend your knees until you can
touch the top of your kneecaps.
6
Too erect ball
goes right
Too deep, left
Height Vs. Width
Rotary vs. Lateral Swings
To determine if the overall motion of
your swing should be rotary or lateral.
This will effect your posture and
swing style. Lateral swingers will load
their lower body into their right side
and fire into their left. Rotational
swingers will rotate around either
their tailbone or left hip.
__height and __ width
7
___ +/- 4" of height
Narrower stance
Rotational (little weight shift)
____>4" of height
Wider stance
Lateral Swing (weight shift)
On top, note how the shaft and spine
angle form a 90 degree angle. Things
swing fastest around their axis. The spine
is the axis of rotation in the golf swing.
Below, note how line goes through the
top of Tiger’s neck, back of the elbow,
knee cap and arches of his foot.
Note each club is a different length and
requires a different set-up to achieve this
position. Longer clubs like the driver
more erect posture, wedges more bent
over.
8
Keys To Perfect Posture
Pivot Point Assessment
Directions – Standing tall with a six iron, assume your
athletic stance and pivot back to the top of your backswing
and note where does the top of your sternum pivot around.
Next take three consecutive swings with your feet together,
drop your right foot back and repeat, drop your left foot
back and repeat. Which position did you have the most
balance and speed?
• ___ Left Thigh = Front post = feel of swinging around
a fixed center (sternum/chin) lead hip
• ___ Center = Center post = feel of pivoting around
• ___ Right thigh = Rear post = feel of swinging around
right hip
9
Addressing the Ball
• Front anchor leads with the lead foot.
• Center anchor starts with feet together.
• Rear anchor starts with rear foot.
Remember to stare at the target
and glance at the ball!
10
Examples of Each of the Posts
• Front Post Golfers include:
– Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Henrik Stenson, David Duvall,
Justin Leonard, Chip Beck, Tiger Woods currently (Stack and
Tilt Players and Sean Foley’s players) (get picture of Hogan at
the top
• Center Anchor Coffers include: Study these
– Jordan Speith, Martin Kaymer, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott,
Tom Watson, Greg Norman, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia,
Annika Sorenstam, David Toms and Tiger Woods circa 2001
• Rear Anchor Golfers include:
– Jason Dufner, Bubba Watson Tom Kite, Stuart Appleby,
Nancy Lopez, Karrie Webb, Mike Wier (pic of Mike Weir)
11
Refining Your Post
Goal to set anchor/head over the appropriate point and then maintain a
stationary head until full extension or aim point is reached. Note front post
golfers need some spinal tilt, center need more and rear post golfers need a lot of
spinal tilt. ALWAYS keep your tailbone in front of your sternum at set-up.
12
Tail bone 2” ahead of
middle of the stance,
top of sternum and chin
in the middle. Some
Spinal tilt
Tailbone two inches
forward and top of sternum
two inches behind. More
spinal tilt.
Tailbone in the middle and
top of sternum four inches
behind. A lot of spinal tilt.

Foot Flare and Hip Rotation
Related to Power
Make an “X” with your club and place your
feet so your heal and toe touch the club. Hold shaft
along thigh while you do the test.
Rotate your lower body back, keeping your nose over
the “X”. If you shaft matches your club on the ground,
proceed to follow-through side. If the shaft is short of
the 90 degree angle, flare your foot open (it’s a 1:1
relationship meaning 20 degrees short, open your foot
20 degrees. If less than 45 degrees, drop your foot back
two inches, or the length of your big toe. Repeat on
follow-through side. Note, front and center post players
should not flare open their rear foot!
Trail Foot ____square, open
Lead Foot ____suare/open degrees
Corrective exercise:
Sitting down toe twist with legs extended and touch
your pinky toe to the ground and big toe to the ground.
13
Stance Width _10_” or a
Grip apart from your heels
_14_” apart from your toes
Axis of Symmetry
Related to Power
Axis of Symmetry is how your torso rotates
around your spine.
• ___ Sternum Line Option = Front Anchor of
sufficient secondary tilt away from the target
• ___ Center Line Option = Center Anchor or
little secondary tilt away from the target.
• ___ Spine Line Option = Rear Anchor set and
rotate around the spine
14
Eye Position in relation to target line
Your eyes are the control center and guide motion in your body. They need to be positioned in a
way to compliment your backswing track and alignment preferences.
http://www.wikihow.com/Determine-Eye-Dominance
Eye dominance: __Left ___Omni ___Right
Currently are your eyes:
___ parallel to the target line (Side on alignment)
___ aligning right of the target line (Under alignment)
___ aligning left of the target line (On Top Alingment)
You need to be:
___ Parallel
___ aligned right _ degrees
___ aligned left __ degrees
Corrective Exercise-
Bite a business card/credit card and see how your eye are position relative to your target line.
This ties into your hips being open, if you keep your hips square, your eyes will be parallel to the
target line.
15
Refining Your Best Lead Hand Grip
Place the leading edge of a five iron on a wall or edge of a mat, take your grip and turn lower body through
to impact without pressing hands forward
– If face opens, your trail hand grip is too weak
– If your ball is curving right, turn you lead hand to the right.
– If your ball is curving left, turn your lead hand to the left.
– Remember to grip the club in your fingers so there is a line from the middle index finger knuckle to
the thumb. If there is a crook, your grip is too much in the palm. Best to take your grip from an eye
high position
– If square, repeat it.
The line between your index finger middle knuckle and your thumb should point
toward your
__ Left ear
__ In between your Right ear and shoulder
__ Inside right shoulder
__ Middle of right shoulder
__ Outside of the right shoulder
Remember there should be a line between your knuckle and thumb,
not a crook in your lead hand
16
Refinement For Lead Hand Grip
• With lead hand only, swing back until wrists hinge fully.
This is where you should see the wrists naturally hinge
___ Early or long thumb if hinges below your hip
___ Mid or medium thumb if hinges between your hip and sternum
___ Late or short thumb if wrists begin to hinge above the sternum
Long Thumb Medium Thumb Short Thumb
__ –keep doing what you’re doing
17
Wrist Action
Related to Accuracy
Set your wrists in a vertical hinge position and have a friend apply downward
pressure. Set your angled hinge and repeat. Set a horizontal hinge and repeat.
You are structurally strongest when your set your hinge
__ Straight up, Vertical or 12 O’ Clock position
___ 45 degrees or angled back at a 1:30 position
____ 60-90 degrees or a horizontal hinge back at a 3 O’Clock position
Vertical/Up Angled /half back Horizontal/along toe line
18
Cradle Point
• Where you place your trail index finger middle
knuckle influences how you hinge the club
Under= Up or 0 degrees = Vertical hinge
On the side = Angled hinge 45 degrees back
Under = Horizontal hinge 90 degrees back
19

Downswing: Best Delivery Slot
Related to Feel and Right Hand Placement
Arm Swing Path relate to the manner which your dominant forearm is aligned as it moves
throughout the stroke, especially during the takeaway and delivery.
• With medicine ball, place your hands on the ball and rotate back with the options below. Have
someone apply downward pressure
• Step #1 Take athletic stance with hands on the ball
• Step #2 Rotate back to hip high
• Step #3 Elevate your hands in the designated positions
• Step #4 Apply downward pressure to identify dominant dimension
26
#5b Best Delivery Slot Refinement
• With medicine ball that weights 2-4% of your body weight, take your athletic stance and
swing the ball back to the top of your backswing and hold for 2 seconds. Note how is your
trail forearm relative to the ball?
• Next place you hands in following positions, pivot back and raise your hands to shoulder high
and have someone provide downward force to see which one you leverage the best.
• Your trail hand pressure point should match how you best support the weighted ball. Your
trail hand index finger knuckle should be either on the side for side one downswing slot,
slightly under for side-under or under golfers and slightly on top for side-cover or on top
golfers.
• Best Provides resistance with:
__ Trail Hand Under __ Side Under __ Side On _ Side Cover __On Top
27
Lever Delivery Action
Related to Accuracy
Where both arms become straight.
___ Covering = On-top = Full extension or aim point
soon after impact with early postural release and I finish

aim point of trail arm at 45 degrees and slight bend at the
finish
___Extending = Under alignment = Full extension or
aim point of trail arm shaking hands with the target or at
shoulder high with late postural release and reverse C
finish
Drill- Make naval high back swing and swing through to
your follow-through producing 30-50 yard shots. Drill the
feeling of where your arms become straight.

30
Clearing Action
Related to Power
Clearing Action is how our bodies rotate in posture
from the top of the backstroke into delivery.
• ___ Front Hip Clear – uses front hip action to
restore your backside flat on the wall or 1
post/front anchor. Bump toward 1 O'clock and
then turn
• ____Tailbone Clear – uses the tailbone action or
center post/anchor
• ____Rear Hip Clear – uses the rear hip or 2-post or
rear post/anchor
31
Delivery Plane and Delivery
Source Must Match
Use part of the body that the shaft is dissecting when hands
reach hip high
• Shoulder Plane or High Track= Shoulder Driven
• Right Arm or Mid Track = Torso Driven
• Shaft or Low Track = Hip Driven
Drill- Hinge, swing to the top, swing to hip high, identify
where the shaft is bisecting your body and use that to drive
through the ball.
Low slot= Hip drive
Mid slot = torso drive
High Slot = Shoulders

Posts or Rear Post
___ Outside Shoulder for Front Post and
Center Post
___ One ball outside your left shoulder for
lateral 2 Plane
• Ball position slightly ahead of low point to
hit up on the ball with a driver. .
• Farther back the ball is placed, the farther
the ball will go right assuming your
swinging on plane.
• Ideally, the club moves down and out to low
point and then up and in after low point.
39
Activities that teach and train
• Hinge or set your wrists, take it half back and
swing through so your tummy faces the target in
balance
• Hinge your wrists, take the club ¾ back and
swing through so your tummy faces the target in
balance
• Hinge your wrists, take the club full back, bump
your tailbone and turn your tummy through to
the target.
40
Brad’s Favorite Drills
Drill: Swing club with dominant hand only 20-100
times a day. Feel the clubface square up and roll in
the downswing.
41
Fix my slice drills
• Impact bag/pillow
– Take a couple swings and make sure your hands beat
the club to the bag. If there was a race to the bag
between your hands and the clubhead, your hands
ALWAYS win the race to the ball if you’re trying to
hit the ball with aggression
– Take your normal grip and swing back and through
at 50% speed, swing through into the bag so your
toe finishes into the bag. This will help you feel how
to release and rotate your forearms through the ball.
42
Learn Your Best Ball Position
• Drill- Drag the club on the ground with your
lead hand and watch were the club shifts from
moving away from you to towards you. It will be
under your left shoulder. You need to match
your ball position with your pivot point. Refer
to the pivot point slide.
43
Perfecting Ball Position Off The Tee
44
Low point under
shoulder
Ball position behind low point
with irons and shots off the
ground.
Farther back the ball is
placed, the farther the ball will
go right assuming your
swinging on plane.
Ideally, the club moves down
and out to low point and then
up and in after low point.
Sweeping Progressions
• Sweep back and sweep through 1/3 of full
distance
• Sweep back ¾ and full finish. Focus on solid
contact… Sweep – Finish
• Sweep back… sweep finish full swing
• Sweep back full and sweep finish
• Turn sweep, turn sweep. Goal of a bigger swing
45
Slow Motion Swing Drill
Two-minutes a day!

golf swing. 10-20 seconds back,10-20 seconds
down to impact and 10-20 seconds through to the
finish.
Conduct with eyes open
Conduct with eyes closed
46
Warm-Up Routine
• Get used to setting your pivot point with the
correct feet position.
– Lead with your left if you’re a front post
– Start with feet together for center pivot
– Lead with your right foot if you’re a rear pivot point
• Take 6-10 perfect backswings that match your track
• Take 6-10 perfect downswings that match your slot
• Take three full swings in good balance to find your
rhythm
47
Hinge Drill
Drill- Set your wrists, separate wrist action from
arm action and take a ½ swing back and through,
ž back and through and full back and through.
If you are struggling with the ball curving this drill
is for you! First make sure you have the right grip,
then work on this drill.
48
Perfect Backswing Drill
Kneel down and swing the club back while
maintaining your posture and you’ll discover your
ideal backswing length.
Trail hand under- Keeping lead arm straight, turn
shoulders and trail arm to fold 90 degrees. This
will identify your best backswing track.

Course Strategy
• ALWAYS Swing in Balance
• It's not how far you hit it, it's how many times you hit it.
• When you're into the wind, make a fluid motion and make solid contact! When
your down wind, make a fluid motion and make
• solid contact!! fluid motion and make solid contact!! When there's no wind, make a
fluid motion and make solid contact!!!
• Remember to putt when you can, chip if you have to, pitch if you must and lob if
it's your only option.
• Choose a club you can comfortable get to your target. Note the pin is not always
your target, aim at the back middle of the green.
• Establish a routine before and after every shot, from putt to drive, focusing on
Grip, Aim, Alignments and Stance.
• Be positive and eliminate tension by breathing deeply. Hit shots with positive
thought and pictures in mind.
• Precision Pays! Just ask Tiger Woods, LeBron James, Sidney Crosby or any doctor
or engineer. Or go admire a Mercedes!
• Never leave a makeable putt short! The goal of the game is to get the ball in the
hole, give the ball a chance to go in!

Understanding Your Natural Golf Swing

  • 1. Discover Your Natural Golf Swing Brad Pluth, PGA Director of Instruction 952/401-GOLF (4653) pluthb@pga.com BradPluthGolf.com and GolfAchievement.com V14.4
  • 2. We’ll refine these as we go along. Find Your Perfect Swing You don’t choose your swing, your swing chooses you! Now, with a simple and easy set of tests, you can discover your most dynamic, consistent and efficient golf swing. In this session you will learn: 1. How to best set up your body, arms and hands. 2. How your body, arms and hands track to the top of the backswing. 3. How your body, arms and hands work best to slot the club in the downswing and through impact. 4. Exercises and games to reinforce your natural biomechanical golf swing. 5. Exercises to strengthen your dominant power dimension. And more…2
  • 3. Todays Goals No more than two in 30-minutes, three in an hour lesson 1. 2. 3. 3 “Those who know how precise it can be, know how precise it needs to be.” ~Homer Kelley
  • 4. These Slides are designed to help you develop your natural and most consistent set-up Our ground up approach • Posture – Athletic Set-Up- fingertips to the top of the knees • Height vs. Width- rotational vs. lateral swing styles • Pivot Point Assessment- where you balance from 4
  • 5. Stance Width • Using a medicine ball and hold with you’re your elbows and arms and rotate back. Take your golf stance with the new power angles and measure stance width. • My stance width should be __” apart 5
  • 6. Athletic Set-Up/Golf Posture • Standing tall, tilt from the hips until your fingers touch the top of your knees. • Bow from the hips so your belt buckle feels like it points at the ball, bend your knees until you can touch the top of your kneecaps. 6 Too erect ball goes right Too deep, left
  • 7. Height Vs. Width Rotary vs. Lateral Swings To determine if the overall motion of your swing should be rotary or lateral. This will effect your posture and swing style. Lateral swingers will load their lower body into their right side and fire into their left. Rotational swingers will rotate around either their tailbone or left hip. __height and __ width 7 ___ +/- 4" of height Narrower stance Rotational (little weight shift) ____>4" of height Wider stance Lateral Swing (weight shift)
  • 8. On top, note how the shaft and spine angle form a 90 degree angle. Things swing fastest around their axis. The spine is the axis of rotation in the golf swing. Below, note how line goes through the top of Tiger’s neck, back of the elbow, knee cap and arches of his foot. Note each club is a different length and requires a different set-up to achieve this position. Longer clubs like the driver more erect posture, wedges more bent over. 8 Keys To Perfect Posture
  • 9. Pivot Point Assessment Directions – Standing tall with a six iron, assume your athletic stance and pivot back to the top of your backswing and note where does the top of your sternum pivot around. Next take three consecutive swings with your feet together, drop your right foot back and repeat, drop your left foot back and repeat. Which position did you have the most balance and speed? • ___ Left Thigh = Front post = feel of swinging around a fixed center (sternum/chin) lead hip • ___ Center = Center post = feel of pivoting around • ___ Right thigh = Rear post = feel of swinging around right hip 9
