When it comes to understanding any type of swing tips or instructions, it’s important that you familiarize yourself with your own swing and the fundamentals of golf.
If you’ve never seen yourself swing a golf club on video before, you need to do it immediately. It is a truly eye opening experience. While you might believe you look like one of the greatest to ever play the game, it’s more likely the opposite is true. In watching yourself, you’ll learn more than in any practice session. And if you start to record your practice sessions, you can make improvements even faster.
The next time you are at the practice range or on the course, ask someone to stand behind you and record your swing with a smartphone or camera. You should also get a recording of them facing you. Having both views will give you a complete picture of your swing.
Golf can get complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. While there are a number of technical details, understanding and practicing the fundamentals are the building blocks to success. Review the key terms below and experiment to see how they impact your game.
Grip is one of the most important elements of golf, and ironically one of the least discussed. This is the only point of contact between you, the club, and the ball. Therefore, it’s crucial you learn your grip.
There are a number of varying opinions on which grip is best. Even among professional golfers, there is not one single grip that everyone uses. Start by understanding if your grip is strong, neutral, or weak. Then, experiment with different grips to improve your game.
Because everyone comes to golf with a different set of limitations and abilities, they’re going to have to position their bodies in different ways for maximum effectiveness. When you set up to the golf ball you’ll want to take notice of the distance between your feet.
It’s common practice to keep your feet about shoulder-width apart. You may benefit from a narrow stance to help you turn your lower body or a wider stance that decreases your hip turn.
You’ll also want to note where the ball is placed in your stance. With longer clubs like the driver, the ball is typically placed towards the front foot. As clubs get shorter, you’ll move the ball back towards the middle of your stance, right below your chin.
Posture is very important to building a great golf swing. You’ll want to start in an athletic position with your knees slightly bent. Your feet should be shoulder width apart, and you should be leaning forward from the hips.
Golf is a sport, and you need to be ready for action. Being too upright or too bent over can cause a lot of difficulties in creating a consistent golf swing.
