Does your swing look like this guys? Look at the yellow arrow. He MISSED the ball! If you are in the market for fixing a bad golf swing, there are many tips that can set you right. It’s easy to get bombarded with golf tips from your buddies, but most of them are not qualified to offer up their gems of knowledge. You can take a golf lesson with a credible pro; you can pick up your latest golf magazine; or you can go on the web and find a site like this one and give it a shot. If you’ve been struggling with your golf swing, you’ve got nothing to lose do you?
Golf Swing Fundamentals
The first golf tip for you is to get your golf swing fundamentals right. I know this might sound boring to you, but if I were a betting man, I would place a good wager you have some issues with either your grip; posture; stance; or even ball position. These can all wreak havoc on golf swing consistency. Learning how to grip a golf club correctly is HUGE to your golf swing success.
This is your ONLY connection to the club! Get it wrong and you have little chance to make solid contact with a square clubface. If I were to guess…70% of bad golf swings are because of an incorrect golf grip. The most common fault with the grip is too weak of a grip, causing a slice. Very rarely does a beginner have too strong of a grip.
Another fundamental that many beginner golfers have incorrectly is how far to stand from a golf ball. If you stand too close to the ball, you will have a very upright golf swing, which may encourage you to come down with an over the top golf swing, or a golf swing that’s too steep, causing thin or bladed golf shots. If you stand too far away from the ball you may have too flat a golf swing, that is too much around you, making it hard to have consistent contact with your golf ball.
Correct Golf Wrist Cock
This is another issue that isn’t so much a fundamental, but a critical element to a proper golf swing. Learning how to cock wrist in golf swing is both an eye-opener, and a huge golf tip for many frustrated golfers. If you have an incorrect wrist cock, you will either have a shut or wide open clubface, both of which will result in brutal swing faults. It is a must you come into impact with a square clubface. This will nearly insure you a straight ball flight with maximum compression.
