Critical Golf Swing Tips for the Golf Players

Though the golf swing can seem complicated, there are really only a few key critical fundamentals to remember that are inherent in just about any golf swing.  Here are some critical golf swing tips for the golf swing.  Whenever you are working on your golf game, review and practice these golf swing tips to engrain the proper golf swing movements into your full swing.

Golf Swing Tip 1: Setup

1.Golf Grip – Using the Vardon Overlap golf grip used by the vast majority of golfers, take the little finger of your right hand and place it between the index and middle finger of your left hand (or leading hand).  Your left hand thumb should fit snugly in the lifeline of your right hand.  Ensure that your golf grip pressure is light so that amount of wrist hinge throughout your swing is fluid. On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is “tight” and 1 is “loose,” you should strive for a “5 to 6″ golf grip pressure.
2.Posture and Stance – Placing your body weight in middle of your feet, tilt from hips approximately 30 degrees to achieve proper spine angle. Keep your knees slightly flexed and back straight while your arms hang freely.  Keep your chin up and off your chest.
3.Ball Position – Driver – three balls forward from center (aligned with heel of left foot); 3, 5 Wood & Hybrid (also 1-4 Irons) – two balls forward from center; 5,6 & 7 Iron – one ball forward from center; 8, 9 & Wedges – ball in center of stance.

Golf Swing Tip 2: Backswing

1.Shift body weight to inside of right leg as club is taken back.
2.As hands approach waist, wrists start to hinge/cock.
3.At the top of the backswing, left arm is straight and 80% of weight on right leg; keep right knee flexed.
4.Also, at the top of the backswing, strive for shoulder turn 90° and hip turn of 45°.

Golf Swing Tip 3: Downswing

1.Your first movement in the downswing is weight shift of body to left, then hips, arms and shoulders unwind to impact.
2.At impact, club is released by unhinging wrists and delivering club square through ball—keep head behind ball at impact.
3.As body turns to target through impact, arms and club extend down target line.
4.At finish, belt buckle faces target, club is wrapped around shoulder; 90% of body weight on left leg with right foot on toes.

Golf Swing Secrets Of Successful Players

Golf Swing Secrets Of Successful Players

Article by David Ferrers







You can have a golf swing which will grind out powerful and accurate shots just like a champion, let me tell you how.

The golf swing of a successful player differs from that of an ordinary player in two main respects; it is both correct and well grooved.

What do I mean by a correct golf swing? I mean that when the player swings the club with maximum power their body moves through a series of linked positions which enble them to control the club and thus achieve accuracy. Conversely, when an ordinary golfer tries to exert power they throw their body into incorrect positions and lose control and power.

A good golf swing is actually made up of a series of movements each of which positions the club correctly. It is this ability to make the correct body movements that allows the player to position the club correctly.

These different positions of the golf swing are not hard to achieve. The difficulty for most players is stringing them together and then keeping them togther when they try to hit the ball hard.

If your golf swing tends to become erratic the moment you try to hit the ball hard you need to go back to basics. No, you don’t have to start learning all over again, but you do have to analyze each position and make sure that it is correct.

Then, once you know that each position is as it should be, you can start to link them together into an entire swing. And that is what I mean by well-grooved. The linked-together golf swing repeats itself time and again, even under the greatest pressure.

When you watch a really successful golfer swing the club you will notice that they all have a routine. The way they set up to the ball is always the same. Their pre-swing routine is always the same. The actual golf swing always looks the same – except when they make a poor shot. Then you will notice that they look off balance and their body is often leaning over as they anxiously watch the flight of their ball.

The easy way for an ordinary golfer to achieve a correct and well-grooved golf swing is to develop a mind movie of their swing. Then, simply by running this mind movie every time you set up to the ball you will set your well grooved swing in motion. This is what Jack Nicklaus always did.

You can learn how to do build your own golf swing mind movie by going to the Google Internet search engine and type in the words ‘golf mind movies’. There you will find a number of sites which will tell you how to develop a powerful and accurate golf swing that repeats even under pressure.
