Golf!

Here’s a great training video to teach you a simple easy way to produce a proper golf swing. This video features a tutorial using irons but with the proper setup the same mechanics can be used to hit a driver.

The difference is you do not want to hit down on the ball when hitting a driver.

When hitting a driver you want to tee the ball up and move it to the front of your stance just off the instep of your left foot. This way you will be sweeping the ball off the tee at a slight upwards angle creating the best trajectory for maximum distance.

You can see the different setup for a driver by viewing my “golf setup” page.

Whether you are a total beginner or have been golfing for years but just haven’t settled on a reliable consistent swing this video could do wonders for your game.

In this video you will be taken through the entire swing in 5 simple easy to understand steps. When learning to golf or trying to improve your game you need to master 3 separate components of the golf swing.

The grip

The setup

And the swing itself.

If you haven’t already visited my pages containing my golf grip instruction video or my golf setup video this would be the time to do it.

You will notice right at the beginning she will preface her instruction by saying that you first have to get a good grip, posture, aim and alignment. She does not cover this in her training so definitely take care of this first by visiting the pages I mentioned above on grip and setup.

If you do not use the right grip and setup this swing video won’t help you.

You will see that she wants you to build your swing from small to large and by that she means, in stage 1, using  just the first few feet of the swing with minimum wrist cock and actually hitting the ball with this very short abbreviated swing.

This is a great way to learn the proper golf swing because it is fairly easy to hit a good straight shot with solid impact and you will get a good feel for how to do it and gain confidence in your stroke at the same time.

In stage 2 she adds a little wrist cock to her swing and gets a little more power and distance. After mastering stage one, stage two should be fairly easy to get the hang of.

Stage 3 simply adds a little shoulder turn. Be sure you are hitting the ball well through stage 1 and stage 2 with solid impact before moving on to stage 3. Remember in stage 3 you are still using a low finish and not completely releasing your swing for a full follow through.

In stage 4 she allows the club to release and the wrists re-hinge during her follow through.

And in stage 5 she puts it all together, the back swing, wrist cock, shoulder turn, release and full body finish.

So here it is. Print this out or write yourself a note and take it to the practice range with you.

Stage 1:

Minimal wrist cock and a low finish.

Stage 2:

Add some wrist cock and keep the low finish.

Stage 3:

Add some shoulder turn keep the low finish.

Stage 4:

Add a little bit more release on the follow through.

Stage 5:

Full swing finish and full body turn.

 

Some thoughts to remember and some things she did not cover.

Be sure to start with the proper grip and setup.

Grip pressure should be fairly light throughout the swing. Do not squeeze hard on the grip.

It is not a quick jerky motion. Keep your swing smooth and use an even tempo.

Remember to turn through your shot in every stage. Your belt buckle should be facing your target when you finish.

Stay relaxed throughout the entire swing. Keep your grip light. Your arm, shoulders legs and body should all be relaxed. No tension!

Your weight should be on the insides of your feet and towards the balls of your feet at setup.

Weight should transfer to your right side (80% on your right foot) during the back swing and naturally back to your left side as you start your downswing. It is just like skipping a rock on a pond or throwing a Frisbee. Everyone does this naturally. Nobody has to think about it. This is critical! You must transfer your weight to your left side (90% of your weight on your left foot at follow through)

 

Another thing to remember.

The golf swing is not about muscle or strength. The key to hitting a golf ball is using the proper golf swing technique. It’s about tempo, club head speed and hitting the ball on the sweet spot and with the club face square.

If you are young and strong and have the flexibility of a gymnast And you use the right swing mechanics you are going to hit some monster drives but if you’re not (and most of us aren’t) you can still have a great golf game by playing within your limits.

I have found that I can hit the ball just as far using a ¾ swing as I can with a full swing and with more consistency and accuracy because the shorter swing eliminates some of the timing issues involved in a full swing and gives me less of a chance to screw up.

Anyone can learn how to play golf. The key is to maximize your individual ability. We can’t all be professional golfers but I hope this site has helped you become the best golfer you can be.
