Better Golf Mechanics- The Sling Method

Most amateur golfers are chasing club head speed the wrong way.

It’s NOT your arms.
It’s NOT your chest.
And it’s definitely NOT about trying to “swing harder.”

Club head speed comes from connection, sequencing, and timing through the body.

The best golfers don’t generate speed with their arms…
They transfer speed through them.

This happens via the body’s sling systems — where energy moves:
Ground → hips → torso → shoulders → arms → club

When that chain is:
✔ Connected
✔ Coordinated
✔ Timed correctly

That’s when speed shows up effortlessly.

But most amateurs?
❌ Disconnected segments
❌ Poor timing
❌ Energy leaks everywhere

So adding more arm or chest strength just amplifies inefficiency.

If you want real gains in:
• Club head speed
• Accuracy
• Consistency

You need to train the body how it actually works.

This is precisely what we do in The Sling Method 6 Week Golf Training Course 🥳

🎉Now you can come and work with me in person to get the most “improvement of your movement” and take your golf to bigger swings and new personal course records!

👉 Sling-based training
👉 Rotational torque movements
👉 Dynamic coordination under load

This is where speed is built.

❌Not in isolation.
✅In integration.

👉 Train the system — not the parts.

The Better Golf Mechanics- The Sling Method 6 Week Online Course is now available from The Sling Method website and comes with the FREE mobile app!

👉This program has been changing golf games and improving lives for 5 years so far and the feedback we’ve received from the golfers we’ve worked with has been fantastic!

🥳Reductions in back pain, hip pain, neck and shoulder pain, and improvements in accuracy and distance of drives and iron shots too.

😊This 6 week program is not like any other. We don’t use weights we use resistance bands and Indian Clubs to improve thoracic mobility and pelvis/thoracic disassociation to improve how you move and hit further with improved accuracy!

👍Improvements on and off the course with one single program.

📣Come and work with me BetterGolf in the Capitola Mall and experience what it’s like to really move well!

Having a play around with the guys at BetterGolf in Capitola today was SO MUCH FUN! I got to hang out with Daniel who spent some time showing me the simulators and I got to blow the cobwebs off my golf stroke! 🤣

Thanks to Daniel for his hospitality and for introducing me to his fantastic facility, I really enjoyed this and I’ll be back next week to embarrass myself a little more.

The great thing for me as a student was to be able to see my body move and feel how, what used to give me back spasms no longer does and the swing and connection felt fluid.

15 years ago I could barely swing a club because of the pain my body was in. Now I’m living inside of a pain free body thanks to The Sling Method!!

Improvements are coming. Get yourself down to BetterGolf in the Capitola Mall and have some Golf Channel fun!

🟥 MYTH #5

“Back pain means you need more core stability.”

Truth:
Most golf back pain comes from failed load transfer through the slings, not lack of strength.

When the slings fail:
❌ Lumbar spine becomes a torque generator
❌ Disc compression spikes
❌ Facet irritation increases

🎯 Your spine is a force transmitter — not a motor.

🟥 MYTH #4

“Strength training prevents golf injuries.”

Truth:
Strength does not equal movement resilience.

Most golf injuries come from:
• Poor load transfer
• Faulty rotation sequencing
• Tissue overload due to compensation

Sling training restores:
✅ Efficient force transmission
✅ Tissue load sharing
✅ Joint stress reduction

🎯 Movement quality prevents injury — not strength alone.

🟥 MYTH #3

“You need to shift your weight more.”

Truth:
Excessive lateral weight shift kills rotation and compresses the lumbar spine.

Elite golfers create rotational torque around a stable axis, not linear sway.

Proper sling sequencing allows:
✅ Efficient ground force transfer
✅ Smooth pelvic rotation
✅ Stable spinal mechanics

🎯 Rotation beats translation — every time.

Remember myths 1 & 2

🟥 MYTH #1

“Core strength creates power in the golf swing.”

Truth:
Core stiffness kills rotation.

Real golf power comes from elastic energy transfer through the posterior and anterior oblique slings.

If your trunk is too stiff:
❌ Rotation drops
❌ Speed drops
❌ Stress on the lumbar spine skyrockets

Golf power = Elastic recoil + timing, not brute strength.

🎯 Train slings, not sit-ups.

⸻

🟥 MYTH #2

“Stronger glutes = more distance.”

Truth:
Glute max is not a prime rotary power muscle.

It’s a force transmitter, working through the posterior oblique sling to transfer energy into trunk rotation.

Overtraining glute max in isolation:
❌ Disrupts timing
❌ Reduces rotational efficiency
❌ Promotes early extension

🎯 Your glutes don’t create power — your slings do.
