| The biggest culprit when you swing "too slow" is deceleration. Deceleration is unstable and essentially uncontrollable. It is possible to swing slow, and yet be accelerating, it just isn't super-easy. What is more typical is that you fully intend to swing slow, you start your swing, and your has enough time to go "Hey! We're supposed to be swinging slow, remember?!? I'm gonna slow your hands down now and make everything all better." And, so you decelerate, which as I wrote above is unstable so the club starts to move in random directions. Deceleration itself is bad, but deceleration into impact is really awful for a golf shot.
It is possible to hit slow shots, you just have to concentrate on starting really slow so that you can accelerate through impact, although woth not as rapid of an acceleration as your normal full speed shot. |
