With practice and time most golfers can develop a near perfect club swing. I find my self watching closely the arch of the professional golfers club, their body movements, their shoulder position before, during and after their swing. Their follow through is very important. I check the formation of the clubs arch, is it near perfect circular or more oval in shape?

Would you like to play in a tournament with confidence? Consider the following:  Don’t use only your arms as power to get the golf ball out there, instead swivel your torso on the back swing and the follow through which generates power as a coil spring on release which is compounded by added power from your legs, the shoulders should swivel also.  With practice you can coordinate the body release with wrist release for even more energy being transferred to the ball, these mechanics seem un-natural at first. Remember to keep your head down through these exercises. Use your whole body for this power transfer.

To start your new golf swing use only your torso and legs. After this becomes automatic you can include other methods of accuracy and power. You should work on rotating your shoulders backwards and forwards following the club swing. A good exercise for this is to place a club on your shoulders behind your neck with hands griping both ends of the club with legs at shoulder spread meanwhile rotating the club clockwise (right handed golfers) then counter clockwise as with followthrough.

Consider your golf swing. The following are essential mechanics a golfer should work on for a great swing: The backswing is optimum if your shoulders swivel perfectly each time, the right forearm is parallel to your spine and your left wrist is flat, elbows and arms should form a triangle. These should enable a powerful and accurate ball strike everytime.

Many amateurs fail at making a solid hit because of two reasons. First, the right way of pivoting the wrist is done too late during the backswing because the takeaway is likely to be too low to the ground. Second, achieving a bad posture by swinging the club too far during the backswing, thinking this is the right way to gain power. However, taking note of a few things will help eradicate these flaws. Make sure a 45-degree angle exists between your left arm and the shaft of the club at setup. Your hands should remain as close to the ground as possible during the takeaway, while moving the head of the club upwards rapidly. Notice how your left arm is parallel to the ground and the shaft is perpendicular to it? This is about enough to prevent you from swinging your arms too far at the back swing; thus, putting off bad posture and reverse pivot.

Golf is an outdoor game, so it’s best if you are able to practice chipping outdoors. However, one is tempted to hit chips indoors from time to time. You can perfect your chipping with the help of a wooden rod or a busted club shaft. Get the hang of your chipping technique – just make sure that your left wrist remains solid as the club passes through the area of impact. The rod or shaft you are using will hit your left side should your left wrist give way during the impact. Practice is the key to mastering your chipping.

Inconsistent swings are the nemesis of a delightful and low scoring game of golf. Don’t just swing during warm ups, instead think through the steps of a good and accurate golf swing. Now get out there and start enjoying productive golf.
