3 Golf Swing Tips For Instant Results
By: Dave Powell
Are simple golf swing tips a waste of time? Well, to improve your golf game there is no substitute for getting proper instruction from your local pro. He can help you develop sound technique and work out a practice regime to instil these swing fundamentals. However, quick golf swing tips also have their place in helping your golf. They can sometimes just help spark your game into life - a certain new swing thought may just help get your golf swing on the right plane, or a small change in your set up can have a major impact on your impact position.
Here are 3 simple golf swing tips that could just make that small but vital difference to your golf swing:
In golf a good shoulder turn is important. But how that shoulder turn is created is often misunderstood, and as a result leads to poor ball striking. Golfers sometimes make the mistake of thinking it is the length of the backswing that generates power. In an attempt to make a long backswing they allow their left heel to come up too far off the ground and their hips to turn too much. While this action may create turn, it does not produce coil. The main role of the backswing should be to stretch, or coil the muscles. It is then the release of that coiling action in the downswing that helps create power. The length of your backswing should be determined by how much coil you can create, not how far back you can swing the club.
Allowing your chin to rest against your chest at address makes it impossible to swing your left arm across your upper body in the backswing. When the natural path of the shoulders is blocked, it encourages you to pick the club up too steeply with your hands. The result is little or no weight transfer on to your right side, creating a backswing that is far too narrow. The resulting downswing becomes too steep and you usually end up chopping down on the ball instead of swinging through. Keep your chin up and allow your left arm to move freely across your chest. This will enable you to create the full wide arc required to strike the ball correctly.
When under pressure, many golfers make the understandable mistake of snatching the club away too quickly in their backswing. This gets the hands and body moving at different speeds and destroys the swings natural rhythm. Here is one of those simple mental golf swing tips which if used should help slow down the start of your backswing. At address, imagine there is a ball and chain attached to the clubhead. In order to start the club back you have to drag that ball along with it. Not only will this image help slow down you take-away, it will also make it easier for the rest of your body to work at the same pace as your hands.
One of these golf swing tips may help to instantly kick start your golf swing into action, but, remember that you should only have one (or two maximum) golf swing thoughts while you play.

Good setups create good habits, even on mis-hits
Sat, 22 Mar 2008 18:30:06 EDT
I've watched thousands of golfers in my schools and know one thing for certain: practice makes permanent. Also, poor practice makes permanently poor golfers. The habits you form when you work on your game are the ones you'll repeat on the course, especially under pressure, because there's not enough time to think your way through swings.
