Definition
The critical moment in the golf swing when the backswing changes direction to begin the downswing, requiring precise timing and sequencing for optimal power and accuracy. Proper transition involves the lower body initiating the downswing while the upper body and arms follow in sequence, creating the kinetic chain that generates clubhead speed. Poor transition timing leads to loss of power, inconsistent contact, and various swing faults. Golf instructors focus heavily on transition mechanics as it's fundamental to developing a powerful, repeatable swing that produces consistent results.
