Hi, I’m Chris Mayson and I’m a professional golf instructor from La Costa Resort and Spa. A lot of people ask me how to sequence the club properly. A lot of amateurs have a tendency to get to the top of the swing and use the shoulders to go first. But great players can hit the ball effortlessly and far by working from the ground up as their legs drive first and their club comes in sight.

The technical sequencing is, the club has the furthest to go. So it’s going to move to the left hand, left arm’s going to follow, it’s going to pull your shoulder, your left lat, your left thigh and your left knee all the way up to the top. Then from the ground up, goes from the exact opposite order on the way down. Weight is going to go into your left foot, your left knee’s going to move, it’s going to pull your left thigh, your left hip, your lat, your shoulder, your left arm. The last thing that’s going to come is the club.

Now, it’s very easy for a good player to do because they naturally do it but the amateur has a hard time to do it. So here’s a great drill to help you with it. It’s called the Stop at the Top drill.

What you’re going to do is swing to the top, completely stop, put pressure on your left foot as if you’re squishing a sponge and just allow the club to drop through gravity. It should look something like this.

Try the Stop at the Top Drill and I know your sequencing will be much better.
