Ryo Ishikawa is Featured by a Magazine in the UK!!
[Topix] …2010/04/01
Ryo Ishikawa has been featured by a magazine in the UK, NATIONAL CLUB GOLFER.
The analyst is James Whitaker, the head PGA professional at Moor Allerton.
According to his analysis, Ryo’s swing is very athletic and creates a huge amount of power which carries the ball faraway.
The reason Ryo can create very fast clubhead speed is his huge hip turn.
It creates lag in his swing and then it increases clubhead speed.
Moreover, he advises to the readers that how to increase the clubhead speed like Ryo does.
Although we might not play supplely like Ryo, if we use our hip better, we can extend the distances of our shots.
To refine our feeling, we should stand our hips in the impact place at the start of the swing.
By the right move of body, improve your swings for more pleasant golf.
Ryo Ishikawa has been featured by a magazine in the UK, NATIONAL CLUB GOLFER.
The analyst is James Whitaker, the head PGA professional at Moor Allerton.
According to his analysis, Ryo’s swing is very athletic and creates a huge amount of power which carries the ball faraway.
The reason Ryo can create very fast clubhead speed is his huge hip turn.
It creates lag in his swing and then it increases clubhead speed.
