Do You Even NEED a Golf Swing TRANSITION MOVE?

Do You Even NEED a Golf Swing TRANSITION MOVE?

The golf swing transition and the “Transition Move” is a highly debated topic. Should you drop and shallow the club in the downswing, should you extend your trail arm intentionally?

One thing is clear: the golf swing transition is a pretty darn difficult area to act in from an execution perspective and the simpler it gets, the more potential for repeatability.

In all honesty, I haven’t used a transition move in years and years. Sure, the club change direction but that’s about it.

Old School Mechanics = Less Transition Move Need

If you actually just use simplified swing intentions where you aim your focus on the club and the swing arc you will fill the void that previously needed some kind of transition move.

Or let’s put it slightly differently. If you allow old school mechanics in the backswing you’ve made a setup that allows the old school release which in itself is shallowing so you don’t need an additional shallowing transition move.

Modern Swing = Different Steepness

The modern swing, in contrast, uses more steep hand and club components, which forces a shallowing move of the arms to match it up. It’s all about making the equation of the golf swing solve.

For me, the old school fundamentals makes life easy and more your golf a touch more enjoyable.

The FMM Project (Forgotten Master Moves) is about using what the old greats did and they had easier solutions based in feels and old school mechanics.
