What is caulking in golf swing?
Golf is not just a sport that sends the ball far away, it is a sport that requires sophisticated techniques and strategies.
Among them, one of the key elements of swing is ‘Golf Caulking’. Golf Caulking is a technology that maximizes the strength and accuracy of swing by adjusting the angle of the wrist that holds the club.
Many golfers often fail to understand and utilize this technique properly, reducing the efficiency of their swings.
Therefore, understanding the importance of golfing and applying it accurately can be said to be an essential factor in improving golf skills.
In this article, we will take a closer look at the concept of golfing, its importance, and how to practice it effectively.<
1. the importance of caulking in backswing
In golf swing, the backswing plays a role in creating the club’s acceleration. Caulking plays a very important role in creating that acceleration and impact.
Caulking is a motion that creates an angle by bending the wrist that holds the club, which should be done naturally from the beginning to the peak of the backswing.
It is the most ideal and important thing to form naturally without artificially making caulking.
2. the right time for caulking
Incorrect timing of caulking can cause a number of problems. If caulking is started too quickly, the club shaft may not be parallel to the ground at the saw of the backswing and may swing excessively.
On the contrary, if you start caulking too late, the club will shake at the top, and there is a high probability of being less accurate on impact.
3. correct caulking training method
1) Follow through and backswing:
For correct caulking, try not to start the backswing directly from the ball position, first to the follow-through position and then back.
In this process, the weight and inertia of the club head act to naturally move each part of the body, eliminating unnecessary force and tension.
This method is particularly effective for golfers who suffer from early caulking problems.
2) Towel training:
For golfers who are late in caulking, it is recommended to swing with towels on both armpits.
Corking late makes the club feel heavy, and it’s hard to keep the club until the left arm is parallel to the ground.
The key to this training is to raise the club so that the shaft is perpendicular to the ground at a position where the left arm is parallel to the ground.
3) Requirements for correct caulking
- After the takeaway: From the end of the takeaway, start caulking as if you were lifting your left thumb.
- Club Head Location: At takeback, allow the end of the club head to face the sky.
- Thumb Practice: Practice bending your left thumb for natural caulking.
- Left arm and shaft angle: Open your left arm so that the shaft and left arm are perpendicular (90 degrees) when level with the ground.
- Right arm and wrist movement: allows the right elbow and wrist to bend together.<
- Posture on the backswing saw: On the backswing saw, bend your left thumb as much as you can, with the club shaft facing your goal.
If you practice a lot like this, you can learn the right caulking and increase the accuracy and consistency of your swing.
Caulking is the foundation and core of golf swing, and it can make good impact to increase the flying distance. Professional players also check and practice caulking every time they try to swing.
Please create a high-quality swing through constant practice and correct caulking posture.
