How to Improve your Golf Swing Address

How to Improve your Golf Swing Address

Article by Tricia Deed







How to improve your golf swing address is very important. You will be amazed how your golf swings will improve by correcting your posture or spinal alignment, your stance or address, and the strengthening of your muscles and supporting tissues around the joints of the bones.

I will get straight to the point. Place your legs into position as you would do in readiness to strike the golf ball. Bend your knees. Lean onto the right foot while removing the weight from yor left foot. If you find yourself unsteady shift your foot slightly until you find your balance point. Once you have found it stay there until you feel stable. Leave your right foot where it is; then lean to the left foot, remove the weight off the right foot and repeat. You will now recognize and discover your balance stance.

Pick up your golf club positioning your legs according to your newly discovered balanced stance. As you position the golf club in your hands pretending to swing, it will feel differently. The reason is you have not been in your correct address and not able to hit the ball correctly and drive it the desired distance.

You probably already know that if you have been out of alignment you will need to retrain, but the rewards will outweigh the effort. It is better to strike the golf ball correctly, than to keep adjusting or compensating your golf swing to make it happen poorly.

When your spine is out of alignment and you are holding the golf club forward the body tends to lean backwards to maintain balance in order to compensate for the golf club being held too far forward. If the golf club is being held too closely then your body tends to lean forward with some spinal arching. In both instances golf swing difficulties will arise while trying to hit the golf ball.

While practicing my balance maneuver without the golf club, it was surprising how out of balance I became, but once I had my feet in their correct position, then my balance improved. I pretended to swing my golf club and discovered that I needed to incorporate some twist exercises to afford more flexibility and stretch in my upper back and waistline.

I picked up my golf club to do my practice swing and it defintely felt different. So I am back to the drawing board to correct my golf swings. Correct posture or spinal alignment does make a tremendous difference in the mechanics of the golf swing.

You may have noticed that when you held yor golf club to check out your new stance there was an added pull across the shoulders; and when you followed through you may have also noticed that your twist was a bit tight from the waistline and up.

By maintaining correct spinal alignment and exercising upper back, arms, and wrists for stronger muscle control, you will discover a big improvement in the distance and the speed of the golf ball.

As you improve the muscle strength of the upper back, arms and wrists, also include exercises to stretch the joints. Consider the joints as being similar to rubber bands. These rubber bands need to lengthen and be able to keep up with the increased muscle strength.

Picture yourself a few weeks from now having developed improved adjustments of the golf swing mechanics. Tempo, speed, distance, swing plane, and golf swing sequences will be changing causing you to reanalyze your golf swings. But these improvements will make you a better than average golfer.

Improve Your Game-Your Golf Ball Tells You How

Hello…hello…hello; hey you, look down. I am your golf ball trying to get your attention. Would you like to know how I can improve your game?

I have been watching you play an average game of golf. Nonetheless, I know you want to improve your game and as your golf ball I will tell you how. From my point of view the correct type of ball does matter.

Look over there. Do you see those two young children learning how to play golf?

The girl has the pink balls and the boy is playing with the white colored balls. Those balls are designed specifically for children and they fly at about 70 miles per our. The balls of the children also have dimples. The purpose of the dimples allows the ball to fly faster in the air, smoother skinned balls move slower.

As you well know golf is a game of accuracy and consistency. One does not play just to make distance shots. I noticed the other day that you were at the driving range. A one piece ball is good to use as it is a softer ball and not designed for distance. The one piece ball is a standard. It has been around a long time, and it does great for practicing.

Another practice ball is the water ball. Remember all those golf balls that you hit into the lake along with many other golfers? Well, every now and then they are fished out of the lake, cleaned up and polished and sold cheap. These are great for novices up to intermediate level to practice or to play a game of golf. Because of water damage the balls will short change you on the distance shot.

Most golfers play with a two piece design. It has a rubber core center and one outer wrap of plastic or rubber. This design is excellent for men, women, and children. The ball will shoot straighter, and it has less spin so when you hit a slice or a hook it does not look too bad. The ball is designed for durability and distance.

As an advanced golfer you would probably prefer a ball that has been wrapped three times or a hybrid design. This ball has a rubber core, covered by a layer of plastic or rubber and then a third layer wrap. It is hard in consistency and will allow for better performance. It will travel longer distances, and has less spin in the hands of a golfer with good control.

The professionals play with design having been wrapped three or possibly four times to get the high swing speed and the drop and stop action.

In case you should ask, if the beginner, intermediate, or an advanced player chooses to play with a golf ball used by professional golfers you will get the distance, however, if you lack control the golf ball will slice and hook badly or extremely.

What is the speed of a golf ball in flight?

• Beginners 90 to 100 miles per hour• Intermediate 100 to 110 miles per hour• Advanced and professionals 110 plus miles per hour.

There are many golf balls which are imprinted or have logos as companies and teams prefer the advertising. You may want a special imprint for a birthday, an anniversary, or for identity.

Balls that have been factory overproduced or have a cosmetic imperfection are excellent. These will cost you less and they work just as well as full retail balls. If the store clerk can tell you the brand name, this will give you an opportunity to evaluate the differences among brand names. Brand name selection is a personal choice.

Here is a quick aid to choose golf balls. Twelve dollars per dozen is great for beginners and novices. Thirty dollars a dozen are preferred by intermediate level and the forty-five dollars or more for a dozen is for the advanced or professionals.

Sample different models and choose what works best for you.

As a golf ball, I am looking at your club face which is about to hit me square. I see you have the correct swing. This hit will be straight, will go a long distance, and I can see me dropping into the hole. This will be the perfect shot with the perfect golf swing and the right ball. Congratulations.

How To Improve Your Golf Swing-Neutralise Your Golf Grip

How To Improve Your Golf Swing-Neutralise Your Golf Grip

One way to improve your golf swing is to neutralise your golf grip.Firstly you will only hook the golf ball if you swing the club face closed at impact.The majority of golfers that hook the ball display a ‘strong grip’,where the hands are too far to the right of the handle.Golfers will swing the club too much from the inside of the line,with the hands,arms and body struggling to hold the clubface open at impact.Weakening the grip will help stop the club face closing on impact.
Secondly,a common fault with a lot of golfers is the stance.The width of stance will vary slightly
according to the golf club you are using.As a general guideline,i recommend that the stance for the 5-iron should correspond to the width of your shoulders.Check your stance regularly when you practise.A wide stance will give you good stability but less mobility.A narrow stance will give you more mobility but less stability.
Thirdly,getting your posture right will make playing the game easier.The reason for this is that your posture controls the balance points in your swing,and good balance is key in helping you develop your game.
Start by placing your thumbs on your hip joints,this is to where you bend from the hip joint.
From there lean forward putting your weight on the front of your feet.Finally flex your knees,feeling the pressure on your thighs.Hope this helps,happy golfing.

How can you improve your structure to play better and safer golf?

How can you improve your structure to play better and safer golf?

Physical training improves structure

How can you improve your structure to play better and safer golf? A quick physiology lesson is at hand.

Earlier, I talk about fascia. More specifically, your body’s fascial system contributes to your flexibility, mobility, posture, and function. Fascia, or connective tissue, is everywhere; it is the net that holds your body together.

Fascia’s main job is to retain your body’s normal shape, providing resistance to various stresses. In order to change your body structure and improve your ability to play golf, you benefit most by following a specific sequence of physical training, called “Release, Reeducate, and Rebuild,” or, “The Story of Gary McCord’s Career”:

Release: First, you must release your connective-tissue restrictions. Specially designed flexibility exercises help reduce tension in the inelastic portion of the fascial system that resists lengthening. You must perform these stretching exercises at low intensity but for a prolonged duration. Many people with significant fascial tightness need to sustain a single flexibility exercise for a minimum of three to five minutes before the layers of fascia begin to relax. A gentle, sustained stretching technique is far more effective than a short-duration, intense stretch because it more effectively and permanently lengthens the tough connective tissue of the body.
Reeducate: As the fascial restrictions are being reduced, you need to reeducate your structure by doing specialized exercises aimed at improving posture, balance, stability, and control. These reeducation exercises help you capitalize on your improved flexibility by teaching you how to feel the positions in which your body is most functional. The goal for each golfer is to develop a new postural identity that produces a posture at address and swing mechanics that are safe, efficient, reproducible, and highly effective.
Rebuild: Last, you undergo a program of rebuilding exercises, or strengthening exercises designed to solidify and then reinforce your physical structure and dynamic swing motion. These exercises can also improve your swing speed for added distance and improve muscular endurance for better swing control and performance toward the end of a round and/or during longer practice sessions.

This is a must for you prospective golfers: Enhance your structure and improve your game!
