Lydia Ko of New Zealand has become a heroine in a fairy tale this year. After confirming her entry into the Hall of Fame along with the Olympic gold medal, Ko lifted the trophy at the AIG Women's Open held at the St. Andrews Old Course. In just three weeks, Ko grabbed her third win of the season at the Kroger Queen City Championship of the LPGA Tour. "I was going to play ball with a lot of draw before, but I changed to fade so I can play ball accurately," Ko said. "I was able to achieve the same result."
The Dong-A Ilbo analyzed Lydia Ko's consecutive swings with Kim Hyung-min. After playing in the 온라인바카라 Korea Professional Golfers Association (KPGA) tour, Kim is currently coaching long hitters such as Kim Bong-seop.
▲Address = One thing that Ko is adamant about from her junior years to the present is her grip. She can give as much distance as she catches one to two inches short, but Ko offsets the distance by hitting the ball accurately. Before a swing, she relaxes her wrist and feels the weight of her head by using a Wagle, which she shakes three times at most. As such, her free shot routine should always be constant.
▲Back swing = He is committed to never hitting a draw. Raising a club on an upright trajectory is his intention to hit the fade. He seems to be caulking slightly in advance to prevent the head from falling into the background. He is also taking a slightly larger arc to secure enough space to hit the fade.
▲Downswing = Lydia Ko's accuracy lies in the use of large muscles. Sometimes when she is too immersed in fixing the swing axis, her body will become stiff and she will only hit with her arms, which naturally connects the rotating movements of her upper body and lower body organically while maintaining the axis. Place her eyes slightly behind the ball to create a low and strong impact.
▲Polo-through= After the impact, the connection between the hand and the body is constant, so there is no need to turn the hand quickly. Conversely, if you use the wrist in the release motion due to distance greed, the direction may be reversed. In that case, both arms overlap each other up and down. Ko is taking a long release while maintaining the space between both arms.
