Hit a Golf Ball Straigt Down the Fareway

How to Drive a Golf Ball Straight

It’s a given that every golfer wants to know how to drive a golf ball straight. The challenge is the driver is one of the most difficult clubs to master. A simple rule of thumb is the longer the club, the harder it is to use properly. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to learn how to drive a golf ball straight; you’ll just need a few tips and some consistent practice.

The very best shot off the tee is one that does not impart a lot of backspin to the ball, travels low, and has enough power to add yards by rolling once it lands. If you can achieve all of these elements, your game will improve significantly.

One of the first steps to learning how to drive a golf ball straight is understanding the importance of leverage throughout the entire swing. To achieve proper leverage, keep your head behind the golf ball from address to impact.

The second most important issue is that distance comes more from club head speed than arm strength. Golfers who try to muscle their way through the shot will almost always end up with a poorly hit ball. It is the hips and legs that generate speed and power, so use them.

Other clubs may be somewhat flexible when it comes to swing path, but not the driver. As you begin your backswing, keep the swing plane low (or shallow). Another factor to keep in mind when learning how to drive a golf ball straight is to have your hands lead the club head at impact. This is what people mean when they say to “let your wrists break”.

A common mistake some golfers make is to try to suddenly stop their swing once they hit the ball. To avoid that, let your arms and body move all the way through the swing, including the follow through.Another key to learning how to drive a golf ball straight is to not grip the club too tightly. Concentrate on whipping the golf ball with the club rather than chopping at it.

If you have a tendency to slice the ball, try slowing your downswing. You may be coming down too fast or too hard, causing you to come out of the proper swing path. Another tip for avoiding the slice is to examine your grip. If you cannot see two or three knuckles when looking down at your grip, you are setting yourself up for a slice. This same grip tip applies to those who hook the ball. If you look down at your grip and see more than two or three knuckles, your grip is going to change at impact and cause a severe hook.

One last tip for learning how to drive a golf ball straight is to make sure you are not pulling or pushing the ball. This can happen whether you are coming off the tee or hitting off the fairway. You can tell if you are pushing or pulling the ball by looking at the divot that’s left behind. If the divot is pointing to the left or right of your target line, your body is not properly aligned.

Try implementing some of these tips and see if your game improves. Remember, the best tip for learning how to drive a golf ball straight is to keep at it.

How the Internet Improved My Golf Game

How the Internet Improved My Golf Game

Article by Willie Paxton

Are you a beginner or a high handicapper at golf? Are you seeking the perfect golf swing? Have you paid out good money time & time again on golf instruction, on how to swing a golf club and not really seen any real improvement? I was in the same position. For a good 5 or 6 years I listened to the professional, practiced what he said but rarely did my game improve. In the end I became quite used to the idea that I would always be a high handicapper and my game would not really improve to any great extent.

Out of desperation I decided that instead of paying for more lessons I would seek advice and golf swing tutorial from the Internet. I had some basic flaws in my game. Of my tee shots, only around half were good and my second or third shot would invariably be a left of the target. I also struggled with my short game and my putting quite honestly was a joke.

I came across a book on the internet and I was amazed at the improvement in my game. I found it to be a step-by-step guide with detailed photos that taught the correct way to grip the club. The book is a comprehensive guide to golf that addresses all the problems related to slicing, chipping, putting, sand, driving, inconsistency, distance and much more, with simple and easy to follow instructions.

My problem tee shot was down to a couple of things. I either hooked the shot very low and it went only about 100 yards or my swing would come across the left side of the ball causing an enormous slice. I cured the hook with a change of grip. Basically I was turning my hands towards the left and closing the club face. This resulted and a shot that started off OK for the first 50 yards only to swerve rapidly left and dive very quickly to the ground. The new grip I have, stopped this as it made it very difficult to close the face. I also learned how to align the club-face to cure my awful slice. You see I was aligning my club too close to the toe of the club, so this encouraged an exaggerated slice.

My second and even third shots were corrected by examining my address of the ball, I did not realize that I had a very open stance, my feet were in a parallel line pointing to the right of the target, this was like my original tee shots causing the club to have a closed face. So, whilst I was always aiming right of the intended target, my shots would invariably go left. The book highlighted other problems also. I had a tendency to get off balance when putting extra effort into a shot which would result in a shank. The book cured many of my bad golfing habits. I effectively got a golf swing that works for less than the price of a pair of golf shoes.

Golf Tips From The Pros

Golf Tips From The Pros

Article by Jack Moorehouse

When weekend golfers watch the pros hit unbelievable shots their amazed. The typical reaction is often “How do they do that?” It’s not magic. It’s solid fundamentals, plus hours and hours of practice and constant attention to their swings. Or course, the fact that most of the pros have been honing their swings since they were kids doesn’t hurt either.

Weekend golfers can learn a lot by studying the pros. They just need to look closely. Below we describe some golf tips derived from watching various players over the years. These mini golf lessons may not help you hit the long, straight drives, towering long irons, and delicate wedge shots the pros do. But they will improve your swing and cut strokes from your golf handicap.

Power and Accuracy In The Swing – Golf Tips from the Pros

Chip Beck isn’t nearly as famous as Tiger Woods. But he is a respected member of the Tour. Beck’s known for his accuracy off the tee. It stems primarily from an on-plane swing. He swings his arm up the plane rather than around his body. That keeps the club moving toward the target, generating accuracy. If you were to draw a line from his hands to the ground when he’s in his finish position, it would point exactly where the ball was at address-a sign that he swung up the plane.

Mark O’Meara is known for his power. He generates it by making a complete shoulder turn at the top of his swing. A right-hander, he keeps his back pointing at the target as long as he can before committing to his downswing. Keeping his back facing the target allows his right elbow to stay close to his body, dropping the club inside. This starts his shots to the target’s right. When combined with the proper clubhead release, this swing draws the ball back to the left. It’s a good way to eliminate a slice.

Brad Faxon is known for his putting. But he also excels at getting off the tee. The secret to his swing’s success is in his right elbow. A right-hander, he keeps the elbow bent and close to his right hip as he approaches impact. This delivers the club to the ball from the inside, eliminating pulls, pull-slices, and pop ups. In addition, Faxon keeps his right shoulder markedly lower than his left before impact. That keeps his head behind the ball. It also produces more leverage, which in turn increases clubhead speed.

Tips On The Downswing – Golf Tips from the Pros

Vijay Sing is among the world’s best golfers. He’s also among the world’s highest money winners annually. His classic swing combines precision and accuracy. It includes a narrow downswing with the clubface close to his left shoulder. A wide follow-through with the club and arms launched from his shoulder sockets also contributes to his classic swing. To create this swing, he keeps his arm and hands relaxed. His legs and hips power the downswing as the club’s weight lags behind until impact. Once the club is released, his arms follow the club’s wieght into the finish. This creates a free flowing swing.

Don’t have to be large in stature – Golf Tips from the Pros

Although he’s small, Shigeki Maruyama generates enough power to play with the big boys. How does he do it? He does it with solid mechanics. Most notably, he keeps his hands high at the top of his backswing. High hands expand the swing arc and increase clubhead speed. Meanwhile, a massive shoulder turn allows him to keep his head behind the ball. It also allows him to shift his weight properly and sets up a more powerful and athletic downswing. To better rotate his hips, Maruyama flares his right toe out at address.

Watch the pros whenever you can. It’s like getting a free golf instruction session. So use the opportunity wisely. It can provide valuable golf tips, like those discussed above, that can cut strokes from your golf handicap. They might even transform your game. So keep a close eye on the pros on Sundays.

Square the Shoulders for Longer Distance

Article by Cheapgolf

The Right Equipment to Achieve Longer Distance in Your Golf Game

When you go for a custom-fitting session, as I did yesterday, at Titleist’s state-of-the art facility at St Ives Golf Club, it’s important to ideally bring your ‘A game’ to the bay (or as near as possible) so the clubs you’re planning to use, can compliment your current swing.

Obviously Srixon XX10 impact Driver can creep in but PGA-trained fitter Richard Harries gave me a tip he always used in the early part of his amateur career which helps to square the shoulders at address and reduces the risk of them opening up to the target as you grip the club, forcing a tendency to slice.

He recommends: “As a right-hander I was always encouraged to grip the club with the left hand and place the clubhead behind the ball, with my right hand behind my back.

Correct Positioning of Your Elbow and Shoulders for Longer Distance

“This way, the teaching pro watching from down the line, could see the correct position of the inside of my left elbow with my shoulders square to the target. Step two is to then bring in the right hand on to the grip from underneath the Srixon XX10 Prime Driver and into position.

“This helps retain the shoulders in a square position, as opposed to immediately putting the right hand on top of the grip and tending to force the shoulders open.”

Use these helpful tips for longer distance in your golf game

Hopefully it’s a tip that will work for you, too and immediately reduce the chances of that destructive out-to-in swingpath which can cause the dreaded slice.

How to Golf begins with your Set-up

How to Golf begins with your Set-up

Article by Keith Barker

How to golf begins with your set-up. The very first and basic fundamentals of golf are to be on the balls of your feet with your knees flexed and your feet about shoulder-width apart. These three fundamentals are crucial to the golf game. If your feet are too far apart, you can’t shift your weight properly and if they are too close, you will lose your balance. If your legs are too straight with no flex, you are not going to be in control of the golf ball. Poor posture equals a bad golf swing.Here is the proper way to set-up. First, stand straight with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Your feet should be slightly open with your left toe, your right if your a lefty, a little more open than your right foot. This will make it a lot easier to turn your lower body through impact. Your right shoulder should be a little lower than your left shoulder. This will make it much easier for you to grip your club, as well as, put you in the right position. Next, bend from the waist and keep your spine angle straight. Don’t bend over too far and don’t let your shoulders slump, you’ll want to keep your spine angle straight throughout the golf swing. Now, bend your knees slightly and keep them bent, as you go through the swing. Shift your weight to your front foot, as you complete your swing. If you have done this correctly, you should finish facing your target and in balance. If your are falling back or away from the ball, you’re not shifting your weight properly to your front foot. This is a very common problem with a lot of beginners and fixing this will make a tremendous difference in your golf game. Use these two golf drills to help you get there. They will seem akward at first, but try it until you begin to get it. First, when you set-up, lean and put most of your weight on your front foot and hit some balls. This will help you to learn how to end up with your weight on your front foot. Another trick is to place a golf ball underneath the outer edge of your back foot. Stand on it and make some swings and hit a few balls and this will all but force you to shift your weight onto your front foot.Another tip that I learned from watching Tiger Woods is to stick your rear end out. Yes, you heard me right. This will help to counter-balance your top half and it will help you to keep your spine angle straight and to keep you in form. Also, remember that your neck is an extension of your spine, so keep your chin up because if your head slumps, it will restrict your backswing. You always here, keep your head down. No, keep your chin slightly up and keep your eyes down on your ball through impact.Another golf tip that I want to add is to not stand to far away from your ball. This will cause stiffness and tension in the shoulders and will probably result in a slice. You should never be reaching for your ball. After setting up your stance, just let your arms hang freely and that’s where you grip your golf club. The longer the club, the farther you’ll stand from your ball, but your arms position will remain the same. These golf tips should make quite an impact on your game. See you on the blog side.

Grip pressure: Thumbs up!

Grip pressure: Thumbs up!

Article by Cheapgolf

I don’t know when the golfers are playing the golf which way they choose. I guess not all the golfers take a correct way to play it.

Here is some advice. Coaches tell us there are three points of grip pressure when you place your hands on the Mizuno MP 53 Irons but it’s important not to grip the handle too tight. For a right-hander, place your left hand on the club so the index finger form a trigger of a pistol point between your feet.

If you feel you’re shooting more toward the target you have a strong right hand grip and you’re probably going to hook the ball. If you feel you’re shooting away from the target, you have a ‘weak’ right-hand grip and you’re probably going to slice the ball.

The Mizuno MP-57 Iron Set are a crowning achievement in the evolution of Mizuno’s award winning Grain Flow Forging and Cut Muscle technologies. The Product Development team undertook the task of making the MP-57’s the first MP iron with a full cavity, resulting in a significantly larger sweet area than any other iron in the history of the MP line. Along with increased forgiveness, the MP-57’s with Cut Muscle technology will deliver the feel and shot making ability that MP iron players crave. Most importantly, the MP-57’s deliver all these playing aspects, yet in a classic head profile that appeals to the better players.

The three distinct grip pressure points are a) in the the last three fingers that trap the club underneath the heel pad of your left hand b) the two middle finger of your right hand, whether interlocking, overlapping or a two-fisted grip and c) where your right palm overlaps and exerts downward pressure on your left thumb.

Golfers tend to pinch between right thumb and forefinger and hold on too tight at bottom of grip, this puts a lot of tension up your right arm which can mess up your golf swing.

Try doing what Jack Nicklaus did throughout his career – as you set up with your grip give the shaft a couple of soft taps with the right thumb to relieve tension and stay loose. Nicklaus felt that even with his right thumb off the shaft it didn’t make any difference to his ability to swing the golf club.

Mizuno MP-62 Iron Set with breakthrough dual muscle technology were designed for the player who covets workability and shot-making control with forgiveness. The dual muscle technology perfectly blends two muscle pads: an outer muscle pad allows for a precisely placed CG, providing an enhanced sweet area for maximum playability, while the inner pad delivers more mass behind the impact area for solid feel and the feedback better players demand.

Here is what I’ve found has helped me with my game.You must keep these three really important steps in mind the whole time you are playing.

Keep your head still – any slight movement will cause you to move your eyes away from the ball and this will cause you to not make full contact with the ball.Keep your club head traveling in a straight line while in contact with the ball – Seems simple, but don’t put too much power into your swing otherwise this will cause your muscles to tense up and will cause the club head to move out of line with hitting the ball.Relax your muscles – if your muscles are tense then this will cause you to divert all the energy needed for your swing away from it.If you’re head is still then your eyes stay on the ball. It may seem the most simple thing but you have to see what you’re trying to hit! A lot of my friends have been surprised at how effective this simple step improves their golf swing basics.You can spend ages trying to find a golf slice cure but all you simply need to do is to keep your club head travelling in a straight line while it’s in contact with the ball. It really is that simple.In order to achieve a straight line with your club head you just need to relax. You may think this sounds easy to do but in reality, if you’re not confident with your swing then you tend to tense up. If you just focus on relaxing your muscles before, during and after your swing then your confidence in it will increase. Relaxation will also help your balance. You must stand comfortably so you can reach the ball easily. The muscles which twist the body around will add force to your swing. So it is really important that you keep your arms relaxed.Learning golf swing basics can be a very fun and rewarding process and you shouldn’t let little obstacles distract you from achieving it.

Review Of Golf Training Aids- Can They Really Help Lower Your Scores?

Review Of Golf Training Aids- Can They Really Help Lower Your Scores?

Article by Jack Moorehouse

Today’s marketplace is flooded with training aids. You can find one for nearly every part of the game. And more and more are being introduced every day. While a training aid won’t lower your golf handicap overnight or replace golf tips, it will help improve your golf game if you work with it faithfully.

Below are five training aids golfers often ask about in my golf lessons. Designed to improve your swing or a phase of your swing, these products help correct faults, groove mechanics, and/or ingrain the feel of swing. The key, as always, is finding a training aid that works for you before investing your hard-earned money.

(And incidentally, I am in no way affiliated with these companies nor do I make money from these reviews.)

Amazing Assist Swing Trainer (www.matzie.com)

Available from Gibas & Matzie Golf Products, the Amazing ASSIST training club improves your swing and increases strength. It’s like getting a golf lesson free of charge. Its weighted head and bent shaft teaches the correct hand action. The ASSIST improves muscle memory, extension, and weight transfer as well as tempo and timing.

As the club is swung, the proper release action is exaggerated to eliminate slicing, increase clubhead speed, and produce straight shots. In addition, the training grip places the thumbs and index fingers Vs of your hands in the traditional 11 o’clock and 12 o’clock positions. You can use it at home, on the range, or before your golf lessons.

The Amazing ASSIST is ideal for pre-game or pre-practice warm-ups or for everyday use to improve your swing. The ASSIST is available for men, women, and juniors, and for right-handers and left-handers. An instructional video comes with the product. The cost is .

The Elbow Tac-Tic (www.4golftraining.com)

Maintaining one’s left elbow (for right-handers) as straight as comfortably possible determines the width of your swing arc, as I’ve explained in my golf tips. The wider the swing arc, the greater the power. The Elbow Tac-Tic sleeve clicks when the elbow breaks down, providing the instant feedback needed to correct the swing and keep the left elbow extended. The Tac-tic also works on the right arm, clicking when the elbow bends at the proper point in the backswing. Cost: 39.95.

The Speed Stik (www.speedstik.com)

Most golf instruction will tell you that clubhead speed determines the distance a ball is hit. The faster the clubhead speed, the farther the ball goes. Working out with the Speed Stik increases a golfer’s clubhead speed and trains proper balance and on-plane swing. Swing the Speed Stick in a continuous motion back and forth, keeping it about 18 inches off the ground. Start slowly at first, and then build momentum. Check the speed gauge for your MPHs. Every increase of 1 MPH equals three more yards of distance. Repeat a few days a week and chart your distance. Cost: .99

The Impact Ball (www.theimpactball.com)

The Impact Ball develops the feel of hitting a ball properly. Available from To-M-Pact Golf, Inc., it’s easy to use and understand. It’s based on the idea that many recreational players have certain swing faults (chicken wing, flying elbows, etc.) or that they try to scoop the ball off the ground when hitting. Sometimes, even the best golf instruction can’t rid a player of certain faults.

The Impact Ball works. It’s placed between the forearms and held there through your swing. The ball is bi-colored, and the only thought to focus on is to getting the ball to change colors as the club moves through the impact area. The product trains golfers to strike the ball solidly with a square clubface, eliminating any attempts to flip or scoop the ball during the shot.

The Impact Ball addresses every phase of the game–chipping, pitching, putting, driving, and bunker play. You can hit balls on the range with the Impact Ball or practice swinging the club with it at home. The cost: .95 + shipping and handling.

The Swing Magic Driver (www.swingmagic.com)

Training with Kallassy’s Swing Magic Driver ingrains the proper motion into your swing. Designed to improve timing, tempo, and rhythm, the Swing Magic synchronizes the movement of your arms, hands, and body. A sliding training clip enables you to separate your right hand (for right handers) during the backswing. By separating the right hand on the backswing and reconnecting it on the downswing imprints an on-plane golf swing, essential for consistent ball striking. It prevents you from coming “over the top” as well. Cost: .95.

Remember, a training aid is not a panacea, as I often mention in my golf tips. It won’t dramatically improve your game overnight. It won’t make up for good course management. And it won’t take the place of a one-on-one golf lesson. But it will ingrain the fundamentals of a good swing, cut strokes off your scores, and lower your golf handicap, if you practice with it faithfully. Just make sure the training aid is right for you before buying.
