The game of Golf is a set of measured actions and moves especially when it comes to a swing! Golfers that are continuously trying to improve their swing are those getting the most accurate, long distance shots. To be honest, swinging a golf club accurately consists of lots of stuff but here are 3 hints that’ll seriously help you get some fantastic (consistent) shots. Don’t forget, a golf swing is not something that’s mastered once, it’s going to take a lifetime of training.
Ok, tip # 1. Be sure your stance feels right. For instance, if you are feeling like you might be bending over a lot then ya probably are. Part of your golf swing is a result of your feelings when you actually take that swing. So relax, get comfortable with that stance first. Maintain your shoulders parallel to the ground and your hips in line together with your shoulders (forming a square). Focus on a comfortable stance, next start refining your stance into a strong, accurate swing.
Now, take into account exactly where your stance is around the ball. Depending on the situation and the clubs your stance needs to be in front of the ball whenever using woods, in the center of the ball when you use middle irons or you might need to be slightly in front of the ball when working with the lower/chipping irons. Lot’s of brand new golfers just assume that placing the ball right in the center of your stance is how you need to line yourself up for the shot at all times. Not so.
A great golf swing is one that does not drop or that doesn’t abruptly rise off the ground. Your golf swing needs to be a smooth (practically round) sweeping motion. Watch any professional golfer on TV or the net and you’ll see that kind of golf swing each and every time. Keep your shoulders straight with your eyes on your ball, at this moment focus on generating that sweep. You will definitely know if you are dropping the club or raising it suddenly since you’ll be making divots or topping the ball.
Practice your swing and include the concepts of weight shift and a smooth pivot to improve distance and accuracy. It’s not necassary to approach the golf ball as if you need to strike it extremely hard to get it go where you want it to go. A smooth and cyclical swinging action will consistently produce far more accuracy and distance every single time.
