Sam Snead REVEALS The Secret to The Best Golf Swing Of All Time
In this golf lesson, Sam Snead and Golf Secrets bring you the best senior golf lesson and swing on YouTube. Why is it the best swing for Senior Golf? Sam's swing was oily smooth with effortless power, using simple body mechanics that will not harm your body. Sam used every ounce of his body weight effeciently and effectively for max power and distance with zero strain on the body, making it the perfect swing to learn and enjoy well into your 80s. Sam's swing has no torqing or twisting of the hips (this damages the lower lumbar spine in other swing methods). This was how Sam was able to play competivly for so long. Sam still holds the record for the oldest senior golfer to make the cut at a US Open Championship at the age of 61. His golf swing isn't just the best for senior golf. It's the best swing to learn at any age. Sams swing is still being taught on tour today: The Worlds BEST Golf Coach Pete Cowen still teaches Sams swing fundamentals. If you study Pete Cowens swing for any length of time, you'll see Sams swing method being taught (especially seen in the lead knee during the squat). If you want to play into your 80s without any body damage to your spine, hips, arms, or hands... than you have found the right swing to learn. I have studied multiple swing methods over my 30 years of teaching, and I can honestly say that Sam's swing method is by far the easiest on the body and the easiest to learn.
