Tips To Improve Your Golf Game

by Lee MacRae

Here are some great tips to help improve the various aspects of your golf game.

Many golfers lift their front foot on their backswing. This can lead to a reverse weight shift, where weight is actually shifted to the front side on the backswing. This can result in a hook or shank shot. Keep your front foot planted on the ground on your backswing, which will promote a proper hip and shoulder turn and get you into a "coil" position setting you up for increased power. Just don't forget to shift your weight to your back side.

Today's equipment and balls are not tailored necessarily for 7 - 8 degree drivers. That is a thing of the past. Getting the ball up in the air on a good trajectory is the first step to driving the ball longer. Many touring pros regurlaly use 9 and 10 degree drivers and drive the ball 300 plus yards. Plus, you will get much more consistency with a more lofted driver.

One option for better accuracy on tight holes is to choke down a few inches on the grip of the driver. The shorter, firmer swing will enhance accuracy without sacrificing too much distance [you'll still hit longer than you would with a fairway wood]. But the key here is to cut down on the wrist cock and make a three-quarter swing. In other words, you shouldn't really give yourself an opportunity to hit and off line drive

Work on these tips and make sure you tee off with a positive mindset. The more you practice and implement what you learn, the more confidence you will gain in your ability to hit it straight and long. And watch your scores begin to plummet!

More Thoughts On Golf

Putting
Forget about reading the green until you have mastered pace. Getting this right comes from developing a smooth putting rhythm.
...BBC golf

You can�t fire a gun unless you pull the trigger, right? A similar concept also applies to the golf swing, which also usually requires a �trigger move� to get the body moving. Now, not everyone has a trigger, some manage to swing well from a static position to a dynamic position. But for the rest of us who often find confusion when it comes to where to start the golf swing, a trigger move can help you start swinging in a fluid and consistent manner.

Thanks to the popularity of golf, there are many golf gadgets available today. As more people want to play the game, more ways are sought to improve their game. The once steady golf industry has now expanded to a much larger industry. Some companies are built around only one piece of golf equipment. Golf gadgets available range from some incredibly useful golf aids to some slightly more ridiculous items. Here are some of the options.

Choosing a Golf Club

By: Jay Moncliff

Choosing a golf club can be very difficult if you are an experienced, much less a beginner. The reason finding the right golf club is so hard is because there are so many types, designs, and features you have to consider in correlation to your skill, swing and needs. The following golf club overview might help you choose the right golf club for you, or at least narrow it down.

Cast Iron Golf Club

The cast iron golf club is made from cast iron and the majority of the weight of the golf club is around the perimeter. Because of this the sweet spot is larger and this type of golf club is really great for beginners or those who have trouble making full contact.

Forged Iron Golf Club

The forged iron golf club is generally used by professionals simply because of its design and function. The center of the golf club is the center of gravity and the front of the club is a bit heavier. If you are an experienced player then you might consider a forged iron golf club.

Also, you will need to choose a size for your golf club as well from standard to midsize or oversized.

The standard club is smaller, so the sweet spot is as well. Generally professionals and advanced players use a standard club.

Midsize golf clubs are great because they have a bigger sweet spot and are a bit larger than the standard golf club. Average players frequently use midsize golf clubs because they are easy to control and have a larger sweet spot.

Oversized golf clubs are generally used by seniors and individuals who have a hard time hitting the ball straight on. The one problem with these clubs is they can be difficult to control. The bonus, a huge sweet spot so when you make contact your ball goes further!

Golf Snippets

Fat Shots
Hitting the ground before the ball, or "fat shots" is a very common problem that can lead to injury. This is caused by either coming into the ball too steeply, and/or decelerating the club head as you hit the ball. Proper weight shift is important and keeping your right shoulder back on the downswing (opposite for left handers) is crucial. There is a tendency to throw the right shoulder ahead as you come down creating an outside in steep club path. Focus on swinging more around your body to remedy this. A good drill is to strap your upper arms to your body and hit balls. This makes it impossible to throw the shoulder forward. Don't forget to accelerate through the ball. When you slow down at the bottom of your swing, you will hit it fat every time.
...Tom's golf tips

The grip most certainly will influence the clubhead, but any type of grip that will keep the wrists from opening or closing the blade is a good grip regardless of how the hands grip the club. Whatever grip is chosen the thumbs should be on top. The thumbs are the feelers and being on top one can feel if the blade is square. Any stroke that holes the ball consistently is a good putting stroke. Regardless of the style of the stroke the putter head should never be taken to the outside of the target line on the backswing.
...World Golf

Proper Sequence Is Key
There are many elements of impact that must come together to produce consistency, but the key lies in the sequence. From the top of the backswing, the legs and hips must initiate the downswing by moving toward the target, past their original position at address. This creates the proper tilt in the shoulders that allows the right arm to remain flexed at impact, while the left wrist becomes flat. Basically, a proper impact position is the result of a proper sequence of movements.

Golf Swing Trainers Can Fix Any Swing Fault

By: Trent

When I talk to golfers about improving their golf swings, they almost every time bring up golf swing trainers. What I mean is the training aids like Medicus, Kallasssy�s Swing Magic, and many others. These golf swing aids can be very effective if you take the right approach from the beginning.

What is your swing fault?

The first thing you need to do is diagnose your specific swing fault. Every golfer has a swing fault that creeps into his or her game on a daily basis. Don�t you? Even if you have a good round going, doesn�t your dreaded swing fault show up sooner than later? I know this is what happens to me.

Once you recognize your consistent golf swing fault, you need to look at the mechanics or physical issues that are causing it. This will help you narrow down you decision for a golf swing trainer that will help you achieve your goals.

Don�t buy it because it�s popular!

It is so easy to fall into the trap of infomercials. They are done so well, before you know it�you are getting your credit card out and placing your order. Don�t do it! Pay attention to the exact issue each and every swing trainer addresses. The problem is most of them say they solve ALL the swing faults, which is not possible.

Your body is doing something incorrect, and it is causing your swing fault. Not every trainer out there can correct this physical issue. Therefore, you should not fall for the marketing pitch these companies are doing to you. Stay focused and pick your weapon wisely.

See if you can demo one from your local golf store.

One thing golfers never do is try to use it for free. That�s right! Go in there and tell them you are interested in golf swing trainers and do they have the particular one you want to use as a demo. If they have one that has been returned, they will do it. I have done it and it works. You can�t be shy! Go in and give it a try!

Use it consistently!

Now you�ve made your decision, spent the money and have it in your possession. What normally happens is you use it once or twice and put it in your golf garage never to use it again right? I can say this because I have done it. If you want to be successful with your new golf swing trainer, you�ve go to use it regularly! I know this sounds stupid, but I know 80% of golfers don�t do this.

To be successful in anything, you need to be persistent and consistent with your new program. Set out to use it daily at a certain time of the day and schedule it in. I am dead serious! Put it in your appointment book and do it! This will insure you have a constant reminder to use it. Take this approach and the sky is the limit!

Golf Snippets

Don't grip the club too tightly. A tight grip inhibits a smooth swing and follow-though. Also, keep the grips on your clubs in good condition. Worn grips force you to hold the club too tightly. Replace the grips on your clubs as they get worn and smooth. When first learning the grip, keep a club around the house and practice gripping and regripping the club a few minutes each day. Remember to keep fingers secure and arms relaxed.
...PGA of America

Concentration
Sometimes it's hard to stop your mind playing tricks during a round of golf. You think, "If I make this shot I've only got an easy putt to make a birdie". That's when things go wrong. You need to stay in the present. I do this by focusing on something like a red shirt in the crowd or a really beautiful tree. That might sound funny but it makes you think what is happening right now. Not what went before or what is going to happen.
...BBC golf

The putting stroke that is best depends upon the individual. So try them all deciding which is best for you. Shoulders controlling: With the wrists in a locked position and with the shoulders and arms working in unison control, the club throughout the stroke.
