The Swing- Continued…

6:05 pm May 30, 2009

Every player loves the feeling of hitting the ball with everything
they’ve got. Using a smooth & graceful swing to give it all the power
you’ve got & the ball is sent skyrocketing down the fairway.

What a feeling!

That is all great, so long as your power shots are done with
accuracy. In order to achieve the right strength & precision, the key
is to make contact with the ball consistently every time you swing.

Practicing & hitting correctly the right way should be your goal.

A. What’s Got To Happen:

1. Learn to make contact with the ball on the clubhead’s sweet spot.

The sweet spot, as it’s called in golf, is the small central area on the
face that makes the ball travel just right.

2. Hit the ball so that the clubface makes contact perfectly square. In
other words, perpendicular to the ball’s target path.

3. Swing so that when the ball is hit by the clubhead, the clubhead
moves directly down the flight path that you are aiming for.

You have to hit the ball with a kind of a downward descent in order
to send ball forward & up into the air correctly. This is true for every
club besides your driver & putter.

Beginner golfers tend to miss this important technique when learning
to swing properly.

By hitting the ball with a descending blow, the clubhead hits the ball
into the air because of the club’s built-in loft. When you hit “up” on
the ball, as many new players do, missed hits & short shots can
result.

More Backswing Tips…

9:14 am May 24, 2009

Let’s Take It From The Top!

A.The Top Of Your Swing
OK. Your the club is now positioned over your head. Try to avoid
swinging your body at this point. The club is in the air and should be
pointing towards your target line. The majority of your weight
should be on your right foot, and the left knee should be slightly bent
inward.

The right knee will have a slight bend throughout the entire
backswing and it will brace the power that’s coming from your body.
It is acceptable to permit your left foot to rise slightly at the top of
your backswing, but try to keep it to a minimum as it may affect
your accuracy. It’s better to keep your left foot grounded if possible.

B. Everything In Its Place
The moment of contact is now here. You should feel a tremendous
quantity of energy and power building up, rolled tightly in your
body…just waiting to release and send the ball flying.

‘You should feel confident & athletic. The shoulders should be at a
full 90 degree angle & your hips turned to approximately 45 degrees.
(These angles are not set in stone, just generalities. Every player
has different levels of flexibility and technique.)

Strive to practice your backswing as often as you can. And you do
not need to be at the driving range or on a golf course to do so.

Every chance you get, simply stand in front of a mirror so you can
see your body moving and following through with the proper
technique. It’s best to have a friend check out your backswing for
constructive criticism. This way he or she can let you know of any
tweaks that need to be made.

* Be sure that your head is centered over the ball as much as
possible. You may allow a small amount of lateral motion if needed.

* The left arm should remain straight throughout the entire
backswing. However, a small amount of bending that is acceptable.

* The left shoulder should be tucked snug underneath your chin.

* The right arm should be folded smoothly into your side and brush
across the rib cage.

* The right knee should always maintain its bend throughout the
backswing.

* Your body weight should be shifted considerably to the right foot
when turning behind the ball.

The Catch 22 Of Putting Shots

3:34 pm May 23, 2009

One of the major factors influencing a putt’s success or failure is it’s
speed. In other words, the pressure that you apply on your swing
determines your success as a putter. However, it’s not that easy….

A. The Catch 22

You see, if you hit it too hard, the ball will cruise right past the hole.
When this happens, you will need to make an extended recovery
shot.

On the other hand, if you don’t put enough pressure on your swing, the ball will stop short of the hole.

Thus, the “Catch 22″ of putting.

Hitting the ball too hard will give you less break, or curve. For
example, if you hit the ball too hard and had calculated six or seven
inches of break, the ball will likely break just two or three inches.
And thereby miss the target.

By hitting the ball too hard, even a putt that is only two feet long can
cause you to miss the hole completely. Your own power is your
downfall.

But, if you hit the ball too gently, the ball may break more than your
calculation and also miss the hole.

Therefore, the success of the putt depends on the speed of the ball.
Speed, along with distance, go hand and hand on the putting green.
