Which option correctly identifies the lever system?

Which option correctly identifies the lever system?

• A. The combination of the levers in the target side arm
• B. The alignment of the feet
• C. The ball spin rate
• D. The club shaft flex

Answer: (A)

The lever system refers to how the arms act as levers to transfer energy from the body to the club, with the target-side arm playing the central role. The combination of the levers in that arm—the segments of the arm and how they move together—sets the lever length and timing that shape the swing’s speed and control. That option directly describes the mechanical arrangement responsible for creating and directing leverage during the swing, making it the best choice. The other factors—foot alignment, ball spin rate, and club shaft flex—affect stance, flight, or equipment, but they don’t identify how the lever system is organized in the swing.
