The crucial movement that many golfers never learn is the transition, or “magic move,” as the legendary Harvey Penick termed it. Why is it so important? Well, it can add an extra thirty to fifty yards on a drive, but it is not easy to learn and it takes a long time to master. One of the reasons for this is that the transition is formed from a sequence of key positions which are then fused together to produce one flowing movement. It is the part of the swing which becomes a purely athletic move, similar to the move of a javelin or a discus thrower in that there is a delay action in the arms as they follow the weight transfer of the body.
