If you've been on a golf course and have tried to use all your strength in the basic golf swing so that you hit the ball as far as possible, then you will have already understood that this does not quite work.
One of the reasons is that although the basic golf swing requires strong conditioned muscles, this hardly means hitting the ball with all your strength. In fact the basic golf swing is much more physics that strength.
Look carefully at the way your golf clubs are designed. You will have already noted that each club has a different job to do and part of the basic golf swing is selecting the right club for the right job in the right conditions.
Power will emerge from your body only from exercised and conditioned muscles applied in a controlled and relaxed manner in your basic golf swing to drive the ball in the right direction and far enough to keep your scores low. In other words, the basic golf swing is really pure physics more than anything else.
Interestingly enough, to be able to make long drives you need to hit the ball at the correct angle which has a lot to do with your positioning and the way you follow through.
The entire basic golf swing movement is the sort of awkward movement that can only happen if you have stretched your golf muscles to their limit and also used strength exercises with dumb bells and other equipment to further strengthen the same muscles so that you can stretch them even further for better results on the course from your basic golf swing.
Good golf specific exercise programs have been known to be very effective in helping golfers make full use, to their advantage, of the physics in a basic golf swing.
