July 8, 200420 yr comment_47531 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, 200420 yr comment_47547 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, 200420 yr comment_47579 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, 200420 yr comment_47732 What do you think of pausing at the top of the swing? Ask Charles Barkley If he like his. :wink:
July 9, 200420 yr comment_47739 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.

They actually teach this to many old people in Japan, Im talking 70 years old old.
July 22, 200420 yr comment_49900 Must be, cuz I get those tips from my dad's old friends alot! Haha...
August 28, 200420 yr comment_54550 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.
