TALKING POINT • WE ASK, YOU ANSWER

5 LESSONS FROM TOMMY • Gain power and accuracy through five lessons you can learn from Tommy's fantastic golf swing

#1 LEARN FROM TOMMY'S SET-UP • We start of course at the beginning, discovering how Tommy's address position sets up all the good stuff that follows. Put simply, if you want the movement, you can't afford to ignore the basics.

#2 LEARN FROM TOMMY'S BACKSWING • When we picture Tommy's swing, certain adjectives come to mind. ‘Compact’, ‘connected’, ‘coordinated’ would probably be at the top of the list. Let's see how his backswing sets these desirable traits up – and how you can train a similar move.

#3 LEARN FROM TOMMY'S TRANSITION • Transition, of course, is a word we use to describe the backswing's end and the downswing's beginning – and Tommy's move is as pretty as they come, promoting a strong attack path and great power. Here's how…

#4 LEARN FROM TOMMY'S IMPACT • Like all great ballstrikers, Tommy's impact position is a model of stability, balance, timing and power. Let's discover how he achieves such poise – and learn two drills that can help you down the same path.

#5 LEARN FROM TOMMY'S FINISH • If Tommy's swing has a trademark, it's his famous extended-arm look at the end of the swing. Why does he finish like this? And what would be the benefits in copying him?
