Online Golf Lessons – A Fast Golf Swing Can Ruin Your Game

Do you have a fast looking swing or a slow golfing swing? Many weekend golfers think a fast swing will hit a ball a further distance. The swing maybe is fast, yet the ball doesn’t go so far as a professional’s slow looking swing.

Why? Well, in this online golf lesson, I’ll explain what happens in a fast looking golf swing and why you need to slow down your swing.

If you think about your body for a minute, you know that it moves much slower than your arms in actuality. So if your body can’t turn so fast, how do you get a fast looking golf swing? You get a fast looking golfing swing when you try and hit the ball as hard as you can with just your arms. This reveals that your arms are moving separately from your body.

What Occurs with Your Shots When Your Arms Beat Your Body?

First, you won’t make perfect contact with the sweet spot on the clubface because swinging with only your arms will steer you to manipulate the club face as it swings through impact.

2nd, the harder you swing, the tighter your wrists and arms will be through impact. Looser arms extend more than tighter arms and tighter wrists release slower than looser wrists ( which increase the width of your swing arc ).

To slow down a fast looking golf swing, we first have to think rationally about it. Tour pros have a slow looking swing and they hit the ball a long way and you have got a fast swing that hits the ball less distance.

Why do you Persist on Hitting the Ball Harder Than the Professionals do?

Sadly, human instinct generally gets control of us when we’re going to hit a golf ball. It asserts the harder you swing the further the ball will go. This doesn’t let us understand the reasoning behind swinging slower. Swinging slower makes you feel like you have less power so you can’t see how it is possible for you to essentially hit the ball better and more distance by not using your arms.

You need to convince yourself that you can swing slower to hit the ball well. After you slow down, you’ll make better contact in the middle of the club face, widen your arc and release the club faster. All these things mount up to more distance with less effort.

Take This Online Golf Lesson to Take the Arms Out of the Swing

All you’ve got to do is hold the club waist height and feel your body swing the clubhead. As you swing, listen to the swishing sound the club-head is making as it swings through impact. Now, try and make the club swing quicker by shifting your body weight from the right leg to the left leg allowing your body to turn at the same time. If you let your arms swing openly you can hear the club swish faster as you increase the velocity of your body.

As you go to hit the ball, you must relate the same new sense of using your body to hit your shot. This implies that you cannot think about hitting the ball. If you consider the moment of hitting the ball, it’ll speed up your arms again. You’ve got to now think about turning and shifting your body weight instead.

This will turn your body and allow your arms to swing down because they’re attached to one another. If you’re feeling your swing getting fast again just stop, hold the club off the ground and do more practice swings feeling your body making the club swing. It takes some practice and concentration but when you slow your swing down you won’t only gain a feeling of simple power but you may begin to appear like a pro when you swing.
