Golf Tip of the Month
Tip supplied by Logicalgolf® | Instructor – Francois van Zyl
The O- Factor
The o-factor is one of the great tips from Logicalgolf. This involves the hips in the golf swing. This is for the back swing and down swing. When you get in to your setup position the left hip should be slightly higher than the right. That will get you into a, what we call a positive o-factor. In the back swing you want to rotate you hip that when you get to the top of you swing that both you hips are level with one another. That position is called o neutral
You will then start your down swing with your left hip moving laterally first and then pulling up and out of the way. So your left hip will be higher than your right that will get you in the positive position again. The pro’s with a driver get 17° positive. This movement also gives them a lot of power and time to hit the ball straight and long
Feel Like You Throwing Water
This tip will also help you not hit the ball with your arms and use more the core of your body that will make you hit the ball better and more consistent. Hope this tip helps your golf and make you hit better shot.
