Improve Your Golf Swing

Have you ever seen your golf swing on video and thought that there must be some type of mistake?  What you see in front of you is not what you think is happening when you actually swing.  You think you have a good grip or that you’re holding your arms straight, but in reality you see how overly loose or overly tight your grip is and what is really happening with your arms when you swing.

It’s interesting how often people will fight reality and go by their feelings alone.  If you have a slice then you must be doing something wrong, correct?  And yet people will fight the tendency to correct their swing because they “feel” they’re doing it right, and wind up slicing time and again.

Muscle memory has a lot to do with feelings versus reality as well.  Your muscles feel that a particular grip or swing is right and that’s what you use, despite the fact that you’re very conscious of how wrong this is.

Many instructors note that it’s very difficult to get clients to switch from what they feel is right to what they know is right.  You an have an edge on any other player if you’re aware of how to swing properly and actually do this, as opposed to swinging the way your body “feels” is right.
