Best Golf Swing – Beginner’s Guide How To Swing Golf Clubs (Part 6)

The following points accurately sum up basic beginner advice when learning the ropes of making a best golf swing:

1. What makes a golf swing more difficult to perfect than other sports which utilize a similar accessory, such as baseball for example, is due to the fact that it involves vertical and horizontal planes. In baseball you only swing the bat for one motion – horizontal.

2. When you make your golf swing, you should not be thinking about making contact with the ball. Rather, your focus should be on swinging through the movement and beyond the ball. Pretend that the ball isn’t there.

3. A perfect golfswing should be balanced, smooth, and graceful. It should never be forced or made with brute strength. Technique and fluidity is everything.

4. Your ideal swing plane should not be steep. Instead, it should gravitate towards being flatter.

5. Begin your backswing very slowly while the clubhead moves low to the ground. Your body should begin to move in unison, as one unit.

6. During the top of the swing, the right arm should be folded snug in into your side (right-handed golfers). The left arm should be straight, but not totally stiff. The hips should be turned at approximately 45°. The shoulders should be approximately 90°. Most of your weight should also be placed on the right foot.

7. The downswing should be viewed as an “uncoiling” of the body. Your hips turn first, followed by the shoulders, then the arms and hands, and finally the clubhead. Consider the movement the same as cracking a whip. The majority of your weight should then be transferred to the left foot during the downswing.

8. You must always follow through once the ball has been hit and is soaring towards the target. If you do not follow through, you can risk injuries to the arms and torso, as well as decreasing the speed of the ball.

9. And finally, beginners who are set on learning how to make the perfect golfswing should always use the 7-iron. This club is perfect for learning the proper techniques that make a best golf swing.

Golf Swing Lesson – Beginner’s Guide How To Swing Golf Clubs (Part 4)

Golf Swing Lesson. Congratulations, your swing is now fully initiated, from backswing to downswing, and it’s now time to make contact with the ball and follow through with your technique.

The contact you make with the ball and the direction (and loft) that it moves into is determined by the flight path of your shot, no more and no less. If you are going for a straight shot, then the clubhead must be moving directly within the target line. If you want your ball to go left, then the path of the clubhead should be pointing left, vice versa for the opposite direction.

Deciding on the above factors when making your shot is really just simple physics. However, it’s not that easy to learn how to correctly steer your clubhead in relation to where you want the ball to go. This is what takes many thousands of golf shots to master.

The downswing will ultimately release your power into making contact with the ball.  The hands and forearms should rotate slightly counterclockwise (right-handed golfers). The clubhead then rotates toward the ball until it is perfectly perpendicular to your target line.

Visualization Can Help

By imagining the proper technique in your mind, you can better learn to execute the release of the clubhead. Imagine your right forearm rotating over the left forearm (right-handed golfers) as you make your swing. Once you make contact with the ball, the right hand and forearm should be gradually turning towards your left. The backside of your left hand should be facing the direction of the target line after impact.  And finally, the backside of your right hand should be pointing skyward.

The Follow Through

Every swing results in a “follow through”. This describes what your club, and the body, looks like after making impact with the ball. Although the ball is well on its way flying through the air, you still need to rotate your body and the club in a smooth and graceful fashion.

Imagine if you suddenly stopped all movement as soon as the ball is hit. This would result in a loss of clubhead speed, as well as possibly injuring your wrists and hands. In addition, your follow through can also help determine whether or not your golf swing needs to be tweaked and repositioned.

Once your swing is done, your hips should be turned just enough so that your stomach area is facing the target. Most of your weight should be transferred to the left foot and your right foot should be on its toes. Your back should be somewhat straight and the club will be wrapped around the back of your shoulders.

Last Minute Tip: Once your body has stopped moving and your follow through is complete, practice remaining in that position for a few seconds after each shot.  Not only can you watch the flight path of the ball, but if your body can remain still without tilting over, it is a good sign that you had perfect balance and coordination with the shot.

Golf Downswing – Beginner’s Guide How To Swing Golf Clubs (Part 3)

So far you have learned what it takes to initiate your backswing and build up the power and energy that is getting ready to explode through the grace of your golf downswing, ultimately driving the ball in perfect alignment towards its destination.

The Downswing

Welcome to the main attraction. This is when everything about your golf swing that you are learning faces its moment of truth. Your backswing should have felt controlled and smooth. Now you will feel a change in the tempo and the downswing will be under full release and power, yet graceful and easy at the same time.

Even though you are getting ready to completely change up your technique and motion from the transition of the backswing to the downswing, the switch should still be graceful and as seamless as possible, with no sign at all of using a snapping motion or force.

You should appear to be going after the ball with brute force. Unfortunately, this is where many beginner and amateur golfers make their mistakes. Thier backswing was initiated perfectly, but their transition towards making contact with the ball is sabotaged by a poor downswing.

Start From The Hips

The hips should be the very first body parts to move when bringing the club down from your backswing.  In fact, your entire body is getting ready to uncoil itself  starting from the hips. Don’t pay too much attention towards your arms and hands.  They will be the last body parts to turn and it should happen naturally.

Once your body starts to uncoil, be sure that your weight begins to shift from your right foot to your left. This part is crucial. By not shifting your weight onto the left foot you will lose nearly half of the power and accuracy needed to make your shot successful. At first you may need to deliberately shift weight, but after enough practice your body should do this naturally.

Uncoil The Body & Release The Energy

It is time now to uncoil your body parts and release all of that potential energy. As you are doing so, strive to maintain the bend you have in your wrists as long as possible. They should be the last part of your body to release before the ball is hit. If you can practice enough and are able to snap your wrists at the very last moment, you’ll undoubtedly have more power and strength transferred to the ball.

The clubhead should now be coming down and moving faster towards the ball. Good form is essential. As the golf downswing gains momentum and speed, your entire body should just be following through automatically, without interference. Once the clubhead approaches the golf ball, you should feel as if you are cracking a whip, making full contact with the golf ball.

Beginner’s Guide How To Swing Golf Clubs (Part 1)

Swing golf clubs. Golf swing is at the center of the golf game and it is not possible to hope to play a reasonably good game of golf if one is unable to produce a consistent and good professional golf swing. Golf specific exercises play a basic role in helping any golf player dramatically improve on their game quicker and perfect various aspects of their game much more quickly.

Studying how to make a great golf swing each time you step up to the ball need years of exercise and skill. When practicing your swing, it must be one fluid motion of grace and skillfulness, from the start of the backswing to impact, and finally, the follow through.

The Backswing

The backswing is the initial movement of the golf club and it is responsible for creating and defining everything that follows. If you have a bad backswing, then unfortunately anything else that follows will be unsatisfactory and the end result will be poor shot.

The Takeaway

Once you are set up and in position to get ready for your shot, begin the backswing by moving your club slowly and keep the clubhead as close to the ground as possible.

Do not move the club too quick as this may cause a steep swing plane and minimize your power and accuracy. And be sure that your left shoulder is slightly higher than the right shoulder (right-handed players). Your shoulders, arms, and hips should all be moving together in one fluid motion.

Golf players that start their backswing off with just their arms and hands have a tough time learning to hit with sufficient power on a consistent basis. You must learn to synchronize all of your body parts at one time. The key is not to think too much about it, just turn and you will feel your arms, shoulders, and upper legs moving together. Just go with the flow.

As You Turn

One time your backswing is in motion, your body will start its turn and your right arm will begin to fold inside. The left arm should not be stiff, but remain somewhat straight.  Your right elbow should be snuggled within a few inches of your body throughout the whole backswing. At this point, everything should be turning naturally and your weight will begin to shift.

Once your club shaft is in the air and pointing straight back, your wrists should begin to bend naturally. At this stage of the backswing, it is key not to tighten your grip.  Keep it loose and casual, yet in control at all times.

Keep turning everything gracefully as far as your left shoulder starts to snuggle itself underneath your chin. The left knee will start to bend toward the other knee. The club is now in the air and over top of your head. You are now ready for the downswing.
