If you can throw, you can swing

The golf swing is very much like an underhand throw. If you play right handed and throw right handed (or if you play lefty and throw lefty) this should be a breeze for you. Start by tossing a few balls underhanded, gradually increasing the distance each time. Notice you don’t increase your backswing  as much as you increase the speed and amount of your follow through the throw the ball farther.

Next take a 7 iron, tee the ball fairly high and try to make the exact same motion with your new “extended” arm. That’s right, use only one hand on the club. Note how smoothly you swing and how full and extended the follow through feels. This is the same sensation you’d like with 2 hands on the club!
