Golfers – can you become king of the swingers?
Visiting researcher to the University of Surrey, Professor Robin Sharp, has shed light on how to perform the perfect golf swing. His findings show that using full power at the start is not ideal, rather it is preferable to build power up quickly and that technique is not all in the wrists as many golf pros believe.

It was also found that shorter golfers are not at a big disadvantage because of their height when it comes to big hitting. Strength and inertial variations seem more likely than size to account for hitting distance.
Professor Sharp said, “Generating too much arm speed too soon causes an early release, with the club-head reaching its maximum speed before it arrives at the ball.”
Golfers may find that putting Sharp’s method into practice is a whole different ball game.
