The Power Triangle Method to Improve Your Golf SwingThe Power Triangle Method will help you Improve Your Golf Swing The purpose is to keep your “triangle” (which is formed by your two arms and your chest) intact on your back swing and downswing. This is helpful for all golfers, particularly those whose trail hand/arm tends to get over active. This is very helpful in learning a proper “core turn”. It helps you quickly learn a simple “one piece takeaway” (i.e., core turn) to start your back swing. At address with your front arm push with your PowerThumb lightly forward toward the target. You should feel some tension and some pulling forward with the triceps ( the upper arm muscle on the back of the upper arm). You may feel some light tension in your pectoral (chest) muscles as wello. With your trail arm pull lightly backward. You’ll be pulling back mostly with your pinky, your ring finger and the middle finger of your trail hand. This opposing force very lightly tenses your arms in opposing each other. (Note: you should still make sure your front elbow is just slightly bent and pointed at the target). The opposing force prevents you from getting too tense in your grip. It helps prevent you from gripping the club too tightly, especially with your trail hand. It also helps you make a firm one piece takeaway that helps make a bigger shoulder turn and will help you keep the club right on plane. This means you can take the club back with your shoulders turning together as a unit keeping your “triangle” nicely intact until the club is back to almost horizontal or more. The will help you gain some distance. The Power Triangle is also especially helpful for chipping. It helps prevent any breaking down of the wrist so your core (chest, shoulders, abdomen) powers the chips like it’s supposed to.
