Golfers at all levels can experience challenges with their swing. The golf swing can take time to master since so many components can affect its execution. Elements such as stance, grip and ball placement can affect the outcome of your shot. All it takes to improve is to understand errors created in the process and review simple corrections to get better results. There are various actions to consider including golf drills, working with an instructor, and even studying golf videos. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do that don’t take a lot of time but require practice and dedication.
One problem many golfers run into is slicing the ball. This may result from standing too close to the ball. When this happens you may not have a clear path for the ball to travel after contact. As you swing, work to avoid the outside-in swing path action. Swing straight through. Consider changing your position behind the ball before you swing. When you can avoid slicing the ball you should be able to see a difference in your swing.
A few elements golfers can pay attention to when putting. Putting encourages you to swing but with control. One element to consider is to swing through instead of stopping after making contact. As you practice this element, work to establish good rhythm and tempo. Think about the motion of a pendulum. Last but not least, work to improve distance control. There are a few golf drills to help you practice, but technical elements of good swinging are emphasized.
Proper weight shift is important for a number of reasons. You don’t want to fall or hurt yourself as you come in to make a powerful swing. As you create the shift, your weight should start from the back to the front leg when creating long shots. You can take your back foot off the ground to start your shift. This will take practice but it is easy to do so with your iron (with or without the ball). Another option is to practice while back foot is on the ground but move forward when swinging. The shift should occur in an even motion from one side to the other to achieve good balance.
