PGA Swing Model - Laws, Principles, Preferences
Questions With All Correct Answers
PGA Swing Model correct answer -is designed to accommodate a variety of
teaching approaches and methods. It has 3 conceptual levels.
3 Conceptual levels correct answer -Laws, Principles, Preferences
law correct answer -is a phenomenon of nature that has been proven to
invariable occur whenever certain conditions exist or are met. In the model,
the five laws determine the flight of the ball in predictable ways.
principle correct answer -is a first cause, or force of a high order, that
directly relates to a law. In the model, the 14 principles are the key swing
positions and movements that influence the laws.
preference correct answer -is a choice of a particular approach, method,
style, device, etc., over other options. In this model, the preferences must
relate to a principle.
5 laws correct answer -clubhead speed, centeredness of contact, angle of
approach, clubhead path, clubface position
speed correct answer -is the _____ with which the clubhead is traveling.
_____ influences the distance the ball will be propelled, as well as the trajectory
of the resulting shot.
centeredness center, fore (toe), or aft (heel) correct answer -is the
exactness with which the ball makes contact on the face of the club relative to
the percussion point or SWEET SPOT. Contact could be either on _____, _____, or
_____, above or below the sweet spot.
angle of approach angle, ground correct answer -is the _____ formed by the
descending or ascending arc of the clubhead on the forward swing in relation
to the slope of the _____. Due to its influence on the ball's spin rate, this affects
the trajectory and the distance the ball travels.
, path correct answer -is the direction of the arc described by the clubhead
in its travel away from and then back toward the target. It's line of travel at
impact is one of the primary factors influencing direction for a full shot.
position (open, square, or closed) correct answer -is the angle of the
leading edge of the clubface relative to the swing path (_____, _____, _____). It will
determine the accuracy of the ball's flight along the clubhead's line of travel,
or produce a left or right curve away from that line.
clubhead speed variables strength, flexibility, technique, leverage (lever),
neuromucular coordination correct answer -influenced by 5 human
variables:
physical strength, body flexibility, swing technique, leverage (body lever
lengths, such as the length of the left arm), neuromucular coordination.
5 human variables correct answer -physical strength
body flexibility
swing technique
leverage(body lever lengths, such as the length of left arm)
neuromucular coordination.
(closed) pull hook, hook, push hook, (square) pull, straight, push, (open) pull
slice, slice, push slice correct answer -9 shot types
grip, aim, set-up correct answer -3 Pre-Swing Principles
grip (direction & clubface position) correct answer -is the placement,
positioning, pressure, and precision related to applying the hands to the club.
Its primary influence is _____.
placement up, down, hands correct answer -refers to how far __ or ____ the
shaft the ______ are placed and can alter the club's effective length
positioning counterclock correct answer -the clockwise or
counterclockwise rotation of the hands on the grip, affects the angle of the
clubface. Altering the hands a half-inch __________wise from normal on the grip
can cause the face to open enough for a 30-yard slice
