Swinging a golf club is NO natural movement. This is why when someone first picks up a bat, they always look awkward swinging – no matter how athletic they are.
While it is true that the golf swing does not feel naturally natural, there are elements of the golf swing that incorporate natural, athletic movements. And once you learn how to incorporate these athletic movements into your golf swing, it will be much easier to create a solid swing with power.
The video below shows the team’s coaches Titled Performance Institute demonstrate this phenomenon by teaching the guys from Chasing Scratch How properly loaded onto the side of the trail by using the feeling of throwing the ball.

Charging on the trail is crucial if you want to generate maximum power. However, when trying to load up on this part of the trail, many recreational players do it incorrectly.
The correct feeling for reading towards the trail is to push your right hip back towards your right rear pocket (first right-handed golfers). However, when attempting to do this, many players perform a so-called “reverse pivot” and actually shift their weight back to the left.
To get the correct feeling of this load, perform the movements of throwing the ball. When you do this, you will always turn around and load your vehicle onto your side of the trail, which will allow you to push off the trail section properly. The same principle applies to the golf swing.
So if you’re having trouble learning the feeling of charging properly on the trail, consider throwing the ball. If you do this and can incorporate this movement into your golf swing, you’ll be hitting the ball long and solid in no time.
