POWER BAR
1. Address: The Foundation, Set Your Baseline
Establish light contact between your Backside and the POWER BAR.
This creates your “Posture Baseline”. You must start here to win the battle against Early Extension.
2. One Piece Takeaway: Stability First
Width without sway. As you start back, maintain that steady pressure. The BAR ensures you aren’t sliding away from the Target Line or lifting out of your stance too early.
3. Transition: The Loading Phase
Create the Space. At the top of your swing, the POWER BAR acts as a wall. By keeping your Glutes against the BAR, you create the “deep hip” position that allows your arms to drop into the slot effortlessly.
4. Approaching Impact: The Critical Zone
Defeat the Slice. This is the “Danger Zone” where most amateurs “jump” towards the ball. The BAR provides instant tactile feedback. If you feel air between you and the BAR, you are about to slice. Stay connected to stay on Plane.
5. IMPACT: Maximum Compression
The moment of truth. By rotating against the BAR rather than moving away from it you maintain your spine angle and deliver 100% of your energy into the back of the ball.
6. Full Release: Pure Extension
Arms fully extend towards the target. Even as your club fires through, your posture must hold. The POWER BAR ensures that your hips stay back so that your arms have room to extend towards the target.
7. The Finish: Balanced & Pro-level
A balanced, “statue” finish is the reward for disciplined posture. If you stayed in contact with the BAR for the first six steps, step seven is where you watch the ball land on your target.
