                                   Fundamentals of Natural Golf               by Jerry Foltz

The Natural Golf swing is based on four fundamentals:

  • Natural Palm Grip

    The club is held more in the palms of the hands. Two common grips that are used in the Natural Golf swing are the baseball grip and 10 finger grip.

  • Single Axis

    Aligning the shaft and right forearm in the same line forms a single axis. This setup enables the club and arms to be starting on a single plane, eliminating any need to rotate the body or forearms to get the club on plane.

  • Wide Stance

    A wide stance eliminates any need to rotate excessively through impact. Reducing the lower body rotation allows you to generate more power by swinging the arms.

  • Face the Ball at Impact

    The address and impact positions should mirror each other. The knees, hips, and shoulders should face the ball at impact as at address. Body and clubface rotation is minimized when applying this fundamental.
