The Poidcast "The Three Swings of Wright Balance" by Henrik Jentsch and Dr. David Wright describes three distinct golf swing types (Lower, Middle, Upper Core) based on body measurements and proportions. It explains grip techniques, setups, swing mechanics, and weight distribution for each type.

The book aims to help golfers optimize their swings and improve consistency by identifying their core type. Well-known golfers are used as examples for each type, with a focus on biomechanical principles and individualizing the golf swing.

The Wright Balance approach differentiates golf swings based on physical characteristics, dividing golfers into three core regions:

Lower Core, Middle Core, and Upper Core. Each core region represents a different body type and influences how a golfer executes their swing to achieve maximum power and consistency.

1. These golfers have the widest stance and rely on the lower body region, from the navel to the pelvic floor.

2. Their right arm (for right-handed players) swings past the right hip during the downswing.

3. They use a strong grip and have the most shaft lean at address.

4. Weight is centered in the middle of the arches of their feet.

5. Power is generated primarily through horizontal and rotational ground force (torque).

6. Examples include Dustin Johnson and Paula Creamer.

7. These golfers have the narrowest stance and rely on the upper body region, from the base of the sternum to the neck.

8. They have the least shaft lean and a forward ball position.

9. The right arm appears higher than the left at address.

10. They use a weak grip.

11. Weight is positioned on the balls of their feet.

12. Power is generated through rotational and vertical ground force.

13. Examples include Patrick Reed, Martin Kaymer, and Phil Mickelson.

14. These golfers have a medium stance width and use the region between the navel and the base of the sternum.

15. They cannot position their right arm inside the hip during the downswing.

16. They use a neutral grip.

17. Weight is slightly forward of the mid-arches and behind the balls of the feet.

18. Power is generated through a combination of horizontal, rotational, and vertical forces.

18. Examples include Adam Scott, Jon Rahm, and Ernie Els.

The sources emphasize that not all golfers can perform the same swing and highlight the importance of adapting the swing to individual physical characteristics. The Wright Balance approach helps golfers understand their body type and optimize their swing accordingly to achieve greater consistency and distance.
