Some Ideas On Understanding The Golf Swing When You Play

Posted by Sam Goodall under: Golf .

If you ever want to be a competent golfer then you are going to have to sort out your swing and make it as solid as possible. Here are a few tips that will help with understanding the golf swing and some of the requirements for different shots.

Speed on the swing is not all its cracked up to be. It is all fine swinging as hard as you can but this is no good if you are not in control. When you hit the ball the energy is transferred from the club into the ball and therefore the harder you swing the further it goes.

As a result of this, a small misjudgment on the swing will put the ball way off to the left or right and this can destroy your hole. You need to make an efficient transfer between the backswing and the downswing and this involves a strong body position and rotation of the hips. Look to any pro and you will see that their swing appears effortless. This is what you are aiming for.

Another key to remember is spin. On your drive you need to focus on controlled power and speed but when it comes to shorter iron shots you need to control spin as well. How often have you seen a good iron shot hit the green and continue on going when the pros stop the ball dead?

By doing this you will allow the wrists to go in more of an upwards motion rather than rolling over the top of the ball. This will allow you to get backspin.

Now when it comes to the green your putting will rely on friction and gravity. You are going to be letting those forces do the work and your judgement will be more important than your swing that needs to be easy and solid throughout the putt.
