Swing Elements
This page like the others is an ongoing process to define The Joe Norwood Golf Swing.
This particular page will detail all of the elements. An element, as it means with this swing, can be a component, a muscle, a movement or anything else that is required by the body to put it in the proper position and or to make the appropriate movement in a correct manner or fashion. I will start by listing them as time permits. I will start from the ground up and adjust accordingly as this is a process. These elements relate to the right handed golfer.
