Learning To Perform A Decent Golf Swing

By David Y. Richardson


Some rules will have to be followed to get a learning golf swing. It is necessary that the club must be considered as an extended part of the arm, perfecting balance and rhythm. If the club does not really match up with the body, you have little chance of succeeding the way you would like to.

Right preparation is the basic step before starting the golf swing. Stance is important. Body balance and rhythm should come next to the correct stance. This should be followed by the upper body rotating relative to the lower body and next important thing is alignment of the body. For controlling the speed of the swing, you should be able to determine the swing plane properly.

Distributing body weight evenly between the feet, while standing, will help in creating a proper balance. You need to take care to ensure that you do not over swing. An over swing results the balance being upset and as a consequence you will over shoot the mark and your shot will lose its effectiveness.

Some people have a feeling that swing can be learnt in different ways. They suggest by performing the swing more slowly there will be greater control and rhythm. However, the swing should have sufficient power for the ball to travel at great speed towards the target.

What they have suggested sounds easy but it is not so. Physical training and mental visualization will be helpful. Physical training would mean special workouts in a gym which are suggested for stability, lunging and twisting.

Improvement in golf swing isn't about practicing it all the time in the golf course. Gadgets have been invented for using in the house to practice the golf swing.

A number of factors can be the cause for not getting a perfect swing. Over gripping is one of them. Wrong direction of the swing is another. Instead of starting the swing from the shoulders towards the ground, work the other way around.

It should not be forgotten that there are personal styles for all golf players. Irrespective of the method employed in training, the personal style will always be conspicuous.
