Effortless Golf Swing - The Catapult Method training at home practice to get effortless power golf swing with consistency. A great golf swing is one that can work well into senior golf swing years, but also deliver club head speed without too much effort with the catapult method golf swing.
To do this we can use the slingshot golf swing technique or what else is called the catapult golf swing method. What this does is to use the ground and weight shift to sling your arms through. It's about stabilization and dynamic power.
But how do we get there? Even if you are looking for beginner golf tips or golf swing basics, this will work great.
But be careful if you want an effortless golf swing for seniors. This is great practice drill at home, but you must take it slow and do not push too far.
But using Newton's Third Law of opposing forces, by pushing we also can propel and pull. Not just weight transfer but also open the hips in the golf swing.
So practice at home your golf swing with this weight transfer and foot pressure but take it easy and subtle.

Go for it and let us know how you get on!

@joesunova8874 2 года назад

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf That went very well on the course. In order to make it a “feels natural” move for me, I substantially increased the pressure/weight on my front foot to say 90% at setup and gradually backed it down to approx 75% and allowed the skating move with my back foot to finish the job. Seems like it worked well (at least for me), but I am wondering if there is a downside associated with too much weight on the front foot at setup?

@jack-hq7gr 2 года назад

Nice job - have seen many swing biomechanics spend too much time talking trace and showing screen data they learned in a 2 hour seminar. Watch hockey players on ice using ground to make shots and the concept is in effect. Golf sure is counter intuitive. Keep the simple tips coming. Congratulation. Cardboard vs expensive force and ground measurement devices!

@christopherwilson7004 3 года назад

Perfect use your legs /core / glutes to swing the club! This move gets me 15 more yards easy.. its also super easy to repeat. Your arms control path. But once you launch your arms go back to impact naturally. You swing from the ground up!

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

YES. Exactly the goal! Well done

@johnklingensmith493 Год назад

Genius ! I’ve played three rounds with the first right leg move and I’m telling you it works great! I just think lose arms at set up then think push toes away from me like the slide you do and I’m pretty pumped up with my game now… thanks so much.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf Год назад

That is great to hear well done! Keep at it and don’t get too forceful trying to get “ more”

@davefiano4172 3 года назад

Great 👍🏻. Haven’t seen an explanation like this before. For us mid to high handicappers I would just add the need to disassociate your arms in order to let the lower body “drive” the downswing. It’s hard to learn, but Vids like this help focusing on the right stuff 👍🏻

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 3 года назад

Marvelous and thank you! Yes re the arms.. I talk a lot about flow in the swing so those that are doing that well enough will do well with this. Those that are too tense still need to allow softer arms and wrists

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I’m a very tense person so INDEED 👍🏻 :) I’ve been working on this and discovered the idea I’ve been using of pulling the club down or using leverage in the downswing is similar but not as good a feel as this. Cheers.

@davee3951 3 года назад

This action with the lead foot seems counterintuitive but it sure does work. Another image that may help to visualize/feel this move, is to picture your lead foot on a skateboard with 4 wheels under it that slides towards the ball target line.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

It really does. That sliding feel could work, but i'd be wary of it causing lower body to be in the way a little

@jayschwarz4365 3 года назад

Alex, don’t know if you saw it, but your friend Milo did a very complementary video on this!

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 3 года назад

Not seen it but I know his general philosophy is along this for sure. Rotate and sling in simple terms. The key here is the opposing forces training. It's a game changer

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

It might not be for you, but the feel to YOUR level can help

@28russ 3 года назад

I get the idea of using opposing force, but where should I be loading my weight? On my front foot so I can push back into my back foot? Or on the back foot so I can shift the weight into the lead foot and get my body weight through the shot more? Or keep it more centered?

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 3 года назад

It’s centered for most part so you can shift and push both ways as we need flow in transition

@TheGHINger 2 года назад

Do both feet work at the same time (feel just before the completion of the backswing)? Or is there a sequence to it? Fantastic video!

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Sequence… trail foot then front 👍🏌️‍♂️

@koryklinger9780 2 года назад

Alex I hit my irons really well with this drill, but struggle being consistent with my 3 wood and driver.. I think because i'm a bit further back and not over the ball. any suggestions with driver and 3 wood feel?

@eagleman1218 2 года назад

I’m confused about when the front starts to push forward. Is it at the same time the back foot starts pushing back and away or after?

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

Unfortunately it depends a little on what else is happening. But… try trail foot first then into lead leg

@martingoldner2260 3 года назад

Hi Alex, After practicing with each side individually, in the real swing with no cardboard are you trying to do both moves at the same time or picking either the trail or lead foot to work with?

@mikebarnard2689 2 года назад

I’m guessing the right side force will preceed the left force by a fraction for correct sequencing but it will be close to simultaneous as downswing to impact is about 0.2s , so more of a feel thing than something you can measure.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

You try both and see how it feels. But both work and might need to be done. Just not at same time

How do you feel about Mike Malasta's thoughts on "rotating"? He says he doesn't even think about rotating and explains that during the backswing, you're pushing the right side of your pelvis back and then on the downswing, pushing the left back. He says he thinks of it in lateral directions and when you do the pelvis push it looks like you're rotating when you're really not.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 2 года назад

What you are describing is the source of power. No it is definitely not effortless unless you mean by that the power in the swing is created as a by product of the leg pushing and pushing motions to create the catapult sling shot effect. Definitely the core and legs are is fully engaged. This engagement is not effortless at all. Just the contrary. You can not be relaxed and do this at the same time
