Intuitive Acceleration – Why You Must Avoid This Mistake?

Today I'm going to share with you one of the big mistakes in golf. It’s called intuitive acceleration or early acceleration during the swing. And it's the main reason why you're not hitting the golf ball as well as you could.

Intuitive acceleration is what's happening during the downswing, when you are unconsciously accelerating the club, with your arms and hands, to the golf ball far too early. In other words, you have not learned to time the golf swing correctly, but you are still too worried about hitting the golf ball and of course, finding the ball.

, The intuitive acceleration blocks the hip and the chest rotation. Physiologically, you can only turn your hips when your upper body is passive, and you can only turn your upper body when your arms are passive. The moment that the arms start to hit, they need resistance by being pressed against the chest and the hips to stop their rotation. Therefore, the reason why you stop and get your chicken wings going on is not because your hips aren't capable of turning or your chest isn't capable of turning, but it’s because you've actually accelerated the club too early.

Intuitive acceleration is not something that a golf professional does. In a golf swing, a golf professional will give his hips and chest the time to rotate before he starts accelerating the club to the ball. The acceleration only happens in the last 37 to 40 milliseconds of the golf swing. For a good shot, you've got to delay the impact, and you can only do that by delaying the acceleration of the club.
