Improve Your Golf Swing

So how can you put this all together for a correct, effective golf swing?  Here are some things you should remember:

When you approach the ball, let your club be your guide for how far back you need to stand.  Lay the club head down next to the ball facing it squarely.  Drop it into your [...]

Does your body feel as if it’s been moved sideways during your swing and especially in the follow-through?  While your dominant leg does twist in order to help you keep your balance, your body should feel as if it’s moved in a circular motion and not been thrown off balance.
Think seriously about where you wind [...]

Believe it or not, the arms should not rotate or roll during the golf swing.  After the follow-through there may be a slight shoulder roll due to the momentum of the swing, but if the arms are rolling during the swing itself this means there is probably not enough extension during the stance and the [...]

The plane of your swing is directly tied in with your coil and uncoil and the plane has quite a bit to do with how well you swing.  Too upright and you’ll correct on the forward swing, and too tight and you’ll drag the club across your body and hit the ball off center.
The dominant [...]

The way the body winds and unwinds is called coil.  The body must move in a synchronized motion so that the arms and club are moving in harmony and not against each other.  This might seem elementary but it’s surprising how often the body, arms, and club start to fight one another during the winding [...]

A good release is the opposite of a block.  The club is not dragged through the impact so the clubface is not significantly open or closed.  Without manipulations and with a neutral grip, the hands, arms, and body stay relaxed and without tension the swing is then smooth.  The tempo and the rhythm of the [...]

If the swing plane is too upright, the body and arms work against each other.  But when the club is too far inside, this means the club will probably be pointing too far to the right when it hits the ball.  Many golfers come too far inside and then make a split second adjustment as [...]

Tne mistake many people make when it comes to their dominant arm (right for those that are right-handed and left for those that are left-handed) is thinking that there is a “correct” position for the elbow.  Everyone is built differently so there is no one position that will work for everyone.  The elbow of the [...]

Your follow-through is very important when talking about your golf swing as it helps to determine the entire path of your club.  The follow-through helps guide the ball to its intended target.
Problems with the follow-through are as common as problems with all other parts of the swing.  When the arms and the body are at [...]

Your swing plane should remain constant from when you start your forward swing and on into your follow-through.  Many make the mistake of adjusting this plane, albeit inadvertently, as they come forward.  Usually they wind up in a steep forward swing.  The right arm gets stuck beside the body with nowhere to go or the [...]
