Eight Tips to Improve Your Golf Swing and Slash Your Golf Handicap
from:Are you trying to improve your golf swing? Here are 8
tips which many low handicappers advice to new golfers:
1. Get golf swing instructions from your local PGA pro - he got
where he is because he knows what he is doing. Pay him for some
lessons. Ask him to teach you the correct golf swing mechanics
and help you develop the perfect golf swing. You will definitely
improve your golf swing faster with his help. Even after you
have learned the correct golf swing techniques, you should
schedule two or three remedial sessions a year with him to get
rid of any bad habits you develop.
2. More practise - just hit the ball more often. Whatever else
you do, you need more practise. Vijay Singh, often considered
Tiger Wood's greatest rival, is legendary for practicing his
swing for at least 3 or 4 hours even during a tournament. When
not on tour, he practices 6 to 8 hours everyday. If you want to
improve your golf swing, you have not choice - just practice an
extra 10 minutes everyday and you will lower your golf handicap.
3. Practice in slow motion - this is an uncommon piece of
advice, but people doing taichi, cricket and tennis benefit
greatly from it. Of course, you need to know the correct golf
swing mechanics first. Then do it in slow motion, again and
again and again. This repetitive practice in slow motion will
ingrain the correct golf swing mechanics into your
neuro-muscular system. Once it is there, all you need to do is
add power and BLAM! off the ball flies, straight and true.
4. Practice with an old-style blade iron - this is a cheap
training tool, easily bought second-hand. These old irons have
small sweet spots, so they force you to hit the ball correctly.
If you fail to swing your golf club correctly, it will vibrate
badly and sting your hands, giving you instant feedback.
5. Practice with Medicus training clubs. This club is more of a
training aid for the "two plane swing". It is designed to train
you to develop the perfect swing. It will quickly highlight
anything wrong in your golf swing techniques. Just two things
before you start: a) you need to have basic competence with a
regular 5-iron; and b) follow the attached instructions.
6. Keep your head down. This is one mistake many inexperienced
players make when they swing their golf club. Remember not to
lift your head until after the followthrough.
7. Correct your hip movement. If your hips move forward before
your hands move forward, you will probably slice the ball.
Practice this drill to control your hip movement - Hit the ball
with your feet together. This helps to isolate the lower body.
If your hips get away from you when you swing your club, you
will lose your balance.
8. Observe your golf swing for mistakes.
- Important: You
need to be familiar with the correct golf swing mechanics. - The best way is to record your swings with a camcorder and
analyze them. Do not just record one swing - record many
consecutive swings. This will help you notice patterns of
incorrect golf swing techniques. - If you cannot get hold
of a camcorder, then practice in front of a mirror. Position the
mirror in a way to minimize disruptions to your form. Using
mirrors is not as good as a camcorder, but still better than
nothing.
Follow these 8 tips and you will improve your golf swing.
Take note of the core of these tips: correct practise makes the
perfect golf swing.
