7 Important Tips To Improve Your Golf Swing!

2016/7/20 16:09:04


There's two key points that make a successful drive. The very first element of golf drive is to master in driving distance. The second key element to improve your drive is accuracy.

Here are seven important ways for dring the golf ball more accurately and farther down the fairway.

Tip one: Let the driver work for you. The golf clubs are designed in such a way to make you hit the ball with precision and force. Taking the advantage of it really makes sense. In general, the beginners think that they need to drive the ball faster and farther by hitting the ball as hard as possible. An important tip to beginners is not to concern about the power of your swing. Always hit the ball with a nice even stroke by focusing to hit the ball at its center. This makes your body to have a more natural swing, which inturn allow your driver to do its thing more perfectly.

Tip two: Visualize the swing. Execute the shot by visualizing the ball heading straight as an arrow down the course. You can make this only after a couple of practice swings. Always concentrate on feeling a smooth and steady swing. Before you actually strike the ball, play the shot in your brain first. So that it will really gives you a lot of confidence.

Tip three: Shorten your backswing. Instead of going for a big hit, shorten your back swing and you will really get more better results. A three-quarter length of back swing is good rule of measure; turning your body and bending your wrists naturally. Many of the golfers ends up with more missed shots just by taking the back swing too far. So you should never take the back swing too far in order to beat your opponents.

Tip four: Always keep your swing on the ground. Generally many golfers make a mistake by not correctly positioning their anchor foot. The anchor foot will the right foot for right handed golfers and the anchor foot will be the left foot for the left handed golfers. You need to make sure that you do not lift that foot too early while driving the ball. By keeping this foot down longer, it allows you to put more power to flow through your swing and it also keeps your body behind the ball. Next time you watch the pro's you like may Tiger Woods or any other you like. Observe them that how long they keep their anchor foot on the ground.

Tip five: Don't forget about your arms. Generally most of the times, the emphasis is placed on your feet position or on your trunk stability. You need to forget the role of the arms play in your swing. Try this to improve consistency in your swing. Before you go for a forward swing, go for a back swing of the club as you normally would. Don't stop there though. You need to take back swing and then swing the club forward again. Before you take rest, repeat this back and forth motion upto 10 times. You will consistently increase your accuracy by practicing this exercise as many times as possible.

Tip six: When you swing your club use a shirt on the club to handle it. This is a very old trick, which many proffessional golfing coaches teach you. A small tip is that you can slow down your swing by hanging a shirt on your club. The cause for slicing or hooking the ball is probably by swinging the driver too fast. Try to swing the club normally with a natural motion. After only a few weeks, you should observe a lot difference in the distance you hit, if you combine this tip with tip number one.

Tip seven: Lower your swing gradually. Gradually lowering your swing will help you increase the distance of the swing, but always trying to hit the golf ball the same way you swing the baseball doesn't work. Start practicing some slow baseball type swings with your club. You need to swing the club above your waist level as just like you hit a base ball. You need to increase the force of the swing gradually as if you are trying to hit the baseball into the outer center field. Now slowly lower the height of the swing until the head of the club is just touching the ground. Practice this tip as many times as possible till you master it. The you will be driving the ball more distance in no time than your buddies drive.

And remember and never forget the most important thing about these golfing tips. Practice more and more. If you do not practice, none of them will work. Playing golf gives you a great fun and it also provides exercise to your body. Enjoy hitting that little white ball farther and more accurately on your next trip to the golf course.
