golf swing
Club's arcing motion
A golf swing is the motion a golfer makes to strike the ball—the coordinated rotation of body, arms, and club from address through backswing, downswing, and follow-through.
The phrase treats this complex sequence as a single unit that can be analyzed, practiced, and refined: He's been working on his golf swing with a coach.
A good golf swing balances power with control.
