I have explained that the true golf swing is a coordinated series of actions enabling the player to take up a number of poised and balanced positions with the object of generating and retaining the power and feel in the hands all the time.  The hands are like an electric battery.  They must be charged and kept charged by the actions of other parts of the mechanism.  These actions are blended into a smooth rhythmic overall movement by TIMING.

  If the timing from one position to the next is rushed as, for instance, in the case of the player who cannot wait to get back to the ball from the top of the golf swing, the power and feel depart from the hands and an effective delivery at the ball is imperiled almost beyond salvation.

  This is why those struggling golfers whose swing is blacked out after the initial stage of the movement back from the ball hit many more bad shots than good ones.  Their successful shots are more or less accidental and cannot be repeated with any degree of consistency because the hit is bound to be released too early in the downswing.

  I cannot stress too strongly the imperative need to give yourself time and room in which to swing the club-head and deliver it to the back of the golf ball.

  Now recall what I said earlier in this book, that the good and experienced golfer senses the downswing even as he approaches the top of the backswing.
