Implementing the Three 90s can help unleash more power in your golf swing
By David Curtis, PGA Teaching Professional
O
ne way to unlock more power in
your golf swing this season is by
incorporating what I refer to as
the Three 90s, all of which take
place in the back swing.
> The first 90 focuses on creating a 90-de-
gree shoulder turn with the upper body that
separates it from the lower body. Allowing this
to take place will give you more time to load the
next two key points.
> The second 90 is creating a wrist hinge so
that the club and lead forearm make a 90-de-
gree angle. As you undo this angle on the down
swing, the club head will have speed to it.
> The last 90 is for the trail arm to have 90
degrees of bend. This will allow a consistent
width during the back swing.
Practice each of the 90s separately at first.
Then, begin to blend them one by one to
create a powerful, athletic back swing that
will help you unload and smash the ball down
the fairway.
