The most important split second in the golf swing is the transition from your backswing to the downswing. That’s the moment of truth.

When you hit from the top (rush your downswing), your power and timing are destroyed. You should strive for an ever-so-slight hesitation at the top of your backswing before you begin your downswing. That sounds easy. It isn’t.

Your best method to develop the needed timing during the transition from backswing to downswing is to practice hitting full shots on the driving range. This is a difficult concept to master and it will take a lot of practice and focus to find the rhythm and timing that’s right for you.

Just remember one thing: don’t try and hit it from the top of your backswing.
