Toski knew that size didn t relate to distance. Toward that end, Toski shows his students how to learn correctly. He begins at the green and works outward, teaching them feel and touch. He has students pitch golf balls toward a target, swinging their arm in the proper way. I teach them how to find their hands and arms first, said Toski.
Golfers try to run before they walk.
Only when that drill is learned to satisfaction, said Toski, can a golfer understand and implement proper mechanics. You need to correlate all three things, he said of the hands, arms and shoulders in the golf swing. Then, and only then, said Toski, will the results show up in your golf game.
