3 Tips For a Better Golf Swing

In order to refine a better golf swing, you need to start breaking your swing down to a few key points. The better you start to understand yourself then the easier it will be to diagnose swing faults when they occur. Understand the game is one of physics, the ball is propelled by energy and set in flight by energy being transferred from the body, to the club and then to the ball. Here a 3 tips you can use to better your golf swing.

  1. The take away - There are all kinds of take aways which can cause havoc in your mechanics, if you take the club away off plane, it is hard to get it back on plane and square at contact.  Your take away must dissect your back shoulder. Watch any PGA pro and you will see how to better golf swing. The take away must go back on an inside path and go right behind your back shoulder.With your back elbow tucked closely at your side.
  2. The down swing - You must start your down swing with a proper hip rotation. Too many times we try to begin swing down with your hands. The hips are the engine and power for your swing. Start the hips first and then allow the arms and hands to stay connected to the body. When I refer to the word connected, I want you to keep your back elbow tucked close to your side and let the arms and hand be a unit. You do not hit the ball with your hands, but with the entire body.
  3. Square to contact - You have probably hit a few slices in your life and even a few snap hooks. Every wayward shot is proof you are not squaring the club face at contact. When you slice the ball, your are swinging on a outside to in swing path and coming across the ball, and the hook is just the opposite. In order to square the club face you need to keep your swing on plane long enough to keep the club face square at contact.

Hopefully, these tips can help you shoot lower scores and better your golf swing. Practicing a swing which does not square the club at contact will only help hit more wayward shots and build up muscle memory which will continue the onslaught of more wayward shots. You must refine your swing in order to better golf swing.

You want to shoot lower scores and take some money out of your buddies pockets, then you should get some help and I mean help from someone who actually shoots low scores and not just hangs out on a driving range giving lessons instead of golfing. Go to Better Golf Swing today and find out which can help you lower your handicap.
