Welcome to play Smart, a regular Golf.com game improvement column that will help you become a smarter and better golfer.
When you watch professional competitions every week, you see many different fluctuations. Some are intermittent violence, while others are long and lazy. Some are upright, some are flat. Some try to sway and blow it up, others put it there. Just like snowflakes, no two fluctuations are exactly the same.
But while no two fluctuations are carbon copies of each other, that doesn't mean they have no similarities. In fact, among the best players in the world, they all have certain characteristics, even if they look different from each other.
In the video below, the good guys at Titleist Performance Academy explain the traits shared by all elite players, while those with high barriers tend to ignore them.

One of the popular buzzword phrases in golf teaching is “ground reaction force.” It's just talking about how golfers push the ground away during swing.
Ground reaction forces are important because they can help golfers create club speed and strength in their swing. Similarly, the way players use the ground during their swing has a huge impact on their sequencing, so their ball hits.
When TPI people analyze advanced players, they tend to see them start using the ground Earlier In the swing, it is better than their master counterpart.
“Originally, it's too late for your students.” “When did I want it? Early.”
Many times, expert players try to push it to the ground to create higher speeds. However, they began the process of falling down and the troops did not have enough time to be dragged to the club.
“It takes time to make you move,” he said. “So if you start doing this and the club is here, there isn't enough time, those ground reaction forces don't matter.”
Next time you try to use the ground more, try to start the process early in the descent. It's very likely that you will be able to generate more motivation in this way.
