Fixing Your Golf Swing

It is not easy to make your game perfect, especially when it comes to golf. Mastering the techniques and styles may take years to some people. But for those who are trying to fix their golf swing, here are some tips and instructions you need to follow.

You should start with gripping your club with your left hand. Your left thumb should be along the shaft. Next, warp it with your right hand in a way that your right palm cupped your left thumb perfectly. Point slightly your knees as you making a posture. Your right foot should point straight ahead. And your left foot should point a little to the left. Make your stance wider if you have a longer club.

Also, your elbows and arms should be as close as possible. Your right and left elbow should point directly at your right and left hip, respectively. Next, try to imagine a flat plane between your shoulders and the ball. To do a back swing, begin at your hands followed by your arms and shoulders. Always make your hands move parallel to this plane throughout the swing.

Many golfers let their left knee collapse towards their right knee while doing a back swing. Thus, causing their shoulder to drop and making their hips sway and overturn. To solve this, imagine your left knee going out toward the target. You got it correctly if you begin to feel tension and stability in both knees. If you still can't get it, try imagining a basketball between your knees.

To do a downswing, first rotate your hips back towards the ball. This will give you enough power to strike the ball. When the club already made contact with the ball, your left wrist bone should point at the ball. Keep in mind that if your club went outside the ball-to-target line, you'll be in trouble.

Additionally, out-to-in swing can cause a golf slice. It is cause by an open address position. Making an open address position would make it difficult for you to do a correct back and down swing, to correct this problem making an imaginary ball 3 or 4 inches in front of your golf ball. Before you strike the golf ball, follow the path towards the imaginary ball.

Keep in mind that the instructions above are meant for right-handed golfer. But if you are a left-handed golfer, just reverse the process by changing left hand to right hand and right hand to left hand and so on. Lastly, bring a friend who is an experienced golfer with you. He/she will observe what part of the golf swing you need to improve.
