Wanting to share a recent experience with my father. He’s always been an accurate golfer, but has had less power than he should given his great fitness level. I let him try a SwingNumber over Christmas, and at first he could not see the number, no matter what. We discovered the reason was that his shoulders were not being allowed to rotate independently of his head. His head was pretty much rotating with his upper body in one piece, making it impossible to see the number. A rotating head through impact will make it very hard to see the number. As soon as he started relaxing his neck, and allowing his shoulders to rotate freely (left shoulder separating from the chin at the beginning of the downswing), he started to see the number. I think with continued practice he’ll see substantial improvement in his power.
