July 8, 200421 yr Personally, I don't even think about pausing at the top. Its not a concious thought during my swing. If its overdone it will definitely cause a lose of power. Instead of thinking about pausing think about making a smooth transition from backswing to down swing.
July 8, 200421 yr I hate it. It makes me crazy when I get a new student who pauses at the top. I have a question. Are there golf coaches in Japan who teach that? It seems like tons of Japenese Ladies have a long pause at the top.

Instead of thinking about pausing think about making a smooth transition from backswing to down swing. Exactly, why pause, why kill your tempo, distance, power. If you can feel the pause like metronome, than do it. I am not a fan of that extra thought!
July 8, 200421 yr Personally, I do it. because I don't lose distance from it plus it helps me feel the rythm of the swing better.
July 9, 200421 yr What do you think of pausing at the top of the swing? Ask Charles Barkley If he like his. :wink:
July 9, 200421 yr I've done it before, but only to bring my swing in sync. After I felt it better, I went back to no pause. When my timing (body, arms, hips, legs), is off, pausing at the top helps me gather the body parts and swing in sync! However, if you're in sync with your swing, don't pause to mess up the tempo.

It seems like tons of Japenese Ladies have a long pause at the top. They actually teach this to many old people in Japan, Im talking 70 years old old.
August 28, 200421 yr I'm not for it. Your lower body should be starting forward before your hands and arms have completed the backswing. This is what will help create lag and increased clubhead speed.
