15 Tips on Golf Swing Techniques
March 8th, 2010 by articlesGolf swing tips can be found on-line or you can purchase one of the golf swing instructional e-books. Many of these tips on golf swing techniques go into a lot of detail; at times, too much detail. What most of us with a golf swing fault need are just a few basic golf swing tips; whether it is to fix a slice or learn more about iron shots.
5 Tips on How to Drive Long
To be able to shoot lower scores, one of the best ways is to gain more golf distance off the tee. When you have a shorter distance to the green you have more chance to score par or better. Naturally, you need accuracy as well as distance or you will be in a worse position to reach the green. Here are 5 quick and easy tips to help you drive long off the tee:
(1) Position the ball off your leading foot's instep and tee the ball up higher so that you hit the ball on the up-swing; (2) Resist trying to hit the ball with all your might - instead, use a steady rhythm and work on increasing your swing speed gradually; (3) Use the correct shaft flex for your swing speed - use a flexible shaft if you have a lower swing speed (stiffer for faster swing speed); (4) Cock your wrists early on the back-swing and release them just before impacting the ball; (5) On the backswing, turn your shoulders a full 90 degrees for maximum distance off the tee.
5 Tips on How to Master The Golf Irons
How to master golf irons is a subject that is often ignored. There are lots of help available to improve your drives and general golf game but not much help specifically for your golf iron play. With these 5 tips you will learn to dominate your golf irons:
(1) To know your average distance with each golf iron in your bag, practice on the driving range; (2) Bu using the right iron for the distance you want to hit it, you will be able to use a full swing which is easier to control; (3) Make sure you take into account the wind distance and strength as well as other factors like the slope you are playing from and the height to the green; (4) Playing out off the rough is different from playing off the fairway - you will need to adjust your ball position, stance, iron loft, and your attack angle; (5) Learn how to use course management to your advantage - sometimes going for the pin is not the best option.
5 Tips on How to Improve The Golf Short Game
One of the most important areas of the golf game is the golf short game. If you are able to hit long and accurate drives, that is great, but if you can't chip or pitch the ball on the green, all that effort will be wasted. The short game of golf is where you really need to put more practice time into, so check out the 5 tips below:
(1) From under 50 yards, use a bump and run and get the ball rolling as soon as possible; (2) Use a slightly open stance and place your feet closer together; (3) Choose one club (7, 8, or 9 iron) and practice your chipping from different distances with it; (4) The length of your backswing will determine the distance the ball will travel; (5) When playing over a hazard, use a more lofted club with a pitching swing.
The three areas of the game that these tips above cover are important, but there are other areas that you will need to learn. They are learning how to cure a slice or hook (if you have these swing faults,) bunker or sand trap play, putting, and pitching. As golf is an all round game, you have to be proficient in every aspect of the game to succeed. You can't just concentrate on how to be a long drive champion; you have to practice with every club in your bag.
