Timing is the Key To Power in every Swing

Loading and Unloading

When you want to generate power in a golf swing, a punch, a long 3-pointer, whatever, you need to generate energy and then release it with control. If it's hitting a ball, the most important reason to be in control and on time is that in order to hit the ball amazingly hard you must must MUST get square with precision timing. If you do not, you will not hit the ball as hard as you can. You're saying it sounds simple...??...Good.

The funny thing...
Most people are not aware that is even what you ought to be doing. I see children and adults when I am either coaching or at conventions, and they think that hitting a baseball means twirling your tool around you with your hands. No. You should be generating a rush of energy in direct opposition to the oncoming object (i.e.-baseball or softball), as to send it flying in the opposite direction. Did we mention that the object is coming anywhere in a range of about 50mph (80kph for my Euro pals) to about 100mph (160kph). Geez. 

Lesson...
If you have a kid in little league, if you are a coach at a High School, if you are just an undeniable force of ball smacking swat skills, REMEMBER work on timing. We all want to see you hit balls farther than we want to walk to go get them. So again, practice timing. Hands back long as you can, and the fury of a bat stroke unlocking at the final moment are the things that need to be implemented. 

We'll Talk More. Good luck.
