Improve Your Game With Golf Swing Drills

7:36 am June 4, 2010

One thing that is synonym with the best known names in the sporting world is hard work, dedication and hours of practice to improve their game. Every world famous athlete, not matter their talent must go through endless hours of practicing to get to their level of performance.

So, why are you not practicing? By putting in the hours of practicing and hard work, you will gain consistency which will be reflected in your game. Therefore do make sure you take the time to run regular golf swing drills that can help review and improve on your game.

No doubt that practice can improve your current skills, but you also want to make sure that you’re doing the proper practice that will actually help your swings instead of decreasing your skills. Here are some things to keep in mind for better golf swings:

Many times beginners are told to run their golf swing drills in their own backyard instead of being in a proper driving range. Here’s how it can hurt you, by not actually hitting a golf ball! Think about it, if your goal is to get down the course and hit a 250 yards drive this weekend, what makes you think that swinging in the air is going to actually translate your ability to do so when it comes down to the real game?

The reason why it is that way is because by just swinging your club at the air, you miss the most important point of practicing, which is to actually make the best contact possible with a golf ball. No doubt by learning in your backyard can get your fundamentals such as your grip and stance correct, but if you truly want to excel in game, nothing can replace practicing it in a real driving range.

Making solid ball contact aside, you will also need to make sure that you’re not ruining your game by forgetting your basics. Be sure that with every back swing, your shoulders are guiding your clubs instead of your arms.

Lastly, if you’re just looking to correct your back swing, you can do so without a golf ball, but be sure that your concentration at this time is at the movement of your body, learn how to properly align your body to the club and make sure that you’re standing properly too.

Practicing The Right Way.

1:21 pm May 25, 2009

Even though many golfers are dedicated improving their game,
relatively few really understand how to practice properly.

If you have ever taken a look at golfers practicing their drives at the
range, more times than not, it looks like their intention is to get rid of
balls as fast as possible. And, use as much muscle and might in the
process.

Is this the right way? Do players actually get better from playing
“how many balls can I hit today?”

The reality is, probably not. But, it’s difficult to know exactly what
to practice because the swing is so complex. And where your swing
differs than most, might be unique to you.

Truly understanding your specific swing’s weakness or having
professional guidance can provide truly productive practice sessions.

A. Thought Vs. Practice

Although your eventual goal should be to develop a natural swing
that is not influenced by thinking, some thinking should go into your
practice sessions.

Visioning, thinking about why a ball didn’t go where it should have,
and a slow reflection & optimization of your weak points will help
you immensely.

In fact, you should bring a notebook with you to record your
thoughts. These notebooks can serve as a great way to increase your
progress by zeroing in on what you think is wrong and possible ideas
to fix the problems you are having.

Finally, when you have downtime (eg you are in an airport or
waiting for a meeting), you can practice thinking about your game
and your swing too.

Practice doesn’t have to always be done on the course or the driving
range!

B. Practice At Your Current Skill Level
A student golfer should practice swing specifics until the swing is
fundamentally sound. From there, he can advance & practice higher
level refinements.

The key is to take it from where you are in your game currently. A
countless number of items can be practiced, but specific procedures
must be followed in every practice session.

These may seem like common sense, but they are important enough
to list here:

1. Knowing what to practice should be the basis for your practice
session. It is essential to have a positive outlook and defined goal of
what you are trying to accomplish.

2. Begin your practice sessions by smoothing your swing with short,
soft iron shots, working your way up through the clubs until
reaching your driver. You should only use maximum power when
your swing has consistent smoothness and a fluid rhythm.

3. Rhythm should be an integral part of every practice session.
Proper rhythm promotes coordination and good timing. Get into the
groove!

4. The process of lining up a target is for more than just for
accuracy. It’s for self-confidence as well. Striving for distance and
not accuracy can give you a false sense of security that you are
progressing.

You’ve got to actually get the ball towards the green. Not sliced
beyond into the rough!

5. Distance and direction are always the primary goals of practice.
But, take the time to learn proper balance and a solid feeling in your
swing by testing different positions and adjustments. Get to where
YOU feel right before trying to knock it out of the park!
