15 Tips on Golf Swing Techniques
Posted by Mick Euan Tait under: Golf .
Golf swing tips can be found online or you can invest in one of the many golf swing instruction e-books. Most of the tips on golf swing techniques go into a lot of detail - sometimes too much detail. What most golfers with a swing fault need are a few basic golf swing tips; whether it is to fix a slice or learn more about the short game in golf.
5 Tips on How to Drive Long Off the Tee
To be able to shoot lower scores, one of the best ways is to gain more golf distance off the tee. With a shorter distance to the green you will have more chance to score par or better. Naturally, you need accuracy as well as distance or you will be in a worse position to reach the green. The following 5 quick and easy tips will help you drive long off the tee:
(1) Tee the ball up higher and position it off your leading foot's instep so that you hit the ball on the upswing; (2) Don't hit the ball with all your power - use a steady rhythm and work on increasing your swing speed; (3) Use the right shaft flex for your swing speed - use a flexible shaft if you have a lower swing speed; (4) Cock your wrists early on the backswing and un-cock them as late as possible on the downswing; (5) Turn your shoulders a full 90 degrees for maximum distance.
5 Tips on How to Master Golf Irons
How to master golf irons is a subject that is often ignored. There are lots of help available to improve your drives and general golf game but not much help specifically for your golf iron play. With these 5 tips you will learn to dominate your golf irons:
(1) To know your average distance with each golf iron in your bag, practice on the driving range; (2) Bu using the right iron for the distance you want to hit it, you will be able to use a full swing which is easier to control; (3) Make sure you take into account the wind distance and strength as well as other factors like the slope you are playing from and the height to the green; (4) Playing out off the rough is different from playing off the fairway - you will need to adjust your ball position, stance, iron loft, and your attack angle; (5) Learn how to use course management to your advantage - sometimes going for the pin is not the best option.
5 Tips on How to Improve The Golf Short Game
The golf short game is one of the most important areas of the golf game. Being able to hit long and accurate drives is all well and good, but if you can't chip the ball on the green, all that effort will be wasted. The short game of golf is where you really need to practice, so check out the following 5 tips:
(1) Use a slightly open stance and place your feet closer together; (2) Choose one club (7, 8, or 9 iron) and practice your chipping from different distances with it; (3) From under 50 yards, use a bump and run and get the ball rolling as soon as possible; (4) When playing over a hazard, use a more lofted club with a pitching swing; (5) The length of your backswing will determine the distance the ball will travel.
The three areas of the game that these tips above cover are important, but there are other areas that you will need to learn. They are learning how to cure a slice or hook (if you have these swing faults,) bunker or sand trap play, putting, and pitching. As golf is an all round game, you have to be proficient in every aspect of the game to succeed. You can't just concentrate on how to be a long drive champion; you have to practice with every club in your bag.
