The Right Way to Fix Your Golf Swing
Posted By Tee It Up Pro Shop On 7. July 2009 @ 19:24 In Misc. Golf Tips | No Comments
One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to [1] fix my swing .” Below, I have outlined the various methods. After reading them, it’s up to you to decide which approach you will take.
Swing Fix 1 - Buy New Clubs
Every golfer has bought new clubs at one time or another to help change their game. Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can [2] help your game if you’re playing the wrong clubs, or your clubs are not properly fitted to you and your swing. The best thing to do, is visit a clubfitter so you can have your swing checked and get properly fitted for your clubs.
There’s another little know way that buying new clubs can fix your swing. New clubs feel different from your current clubs. This means that when you hit shots with them, you’re thinking so much about how the new club feels that you aren’t thinking of how you’re swinging. This totally clears your mind but it’s only temporary. After a couple of weeks of using a new club(s), it no longer feels different so you go right back to thinking about your swing again.The best thing to do would be to stop experimenting with new clubs.
As I said above, find a clubfitter and have your clubs professionally fitted.Then, stay focused on working on your swing.
Swing Fix 2 - All Those Swing Tps
We’ve all picked up the latest golf magazine and tried the latest [3] golf tips hoping they will magically get our game back on track.Unfortuantely, most golfers don’t have the experience to determine whether or not these tips will work for them. If you don’t know your swing well enough, and you try these tips, you may actually be making your swing worse. Plus, a tip is just a tip. It’s not necessarily going to improve your fundamentals.
An example would be to try a stonger grip. Although this tip may cause the face to square better through impact, it isn’t the correct grip.Make sure you’re very careful the next time you experiement with one of these tips from your friend, or in magazines. A good idea would be to discuss the tip with your head pro or teaching pro first to see if it would be a good fit for your game.You should try it only after this consultation.It it works, that’s fantastic!
Swing Fix 3 - Trouble Focusing
So many golfer’s are searching for the instant cure that they get caught up into experimenting with too many changes at once.This approach is futile.Unfortunately, this will lead to you being confused. Plus, you may have tried so many things that you can’t remember what worked and what didn’t. Even if you did find something that worked, it may have been luck. The true test for this apporach is your game improving long into the future.
Swing Fix 4 - Working on One Thing at a Time
The best way you should work on fixing your swing is to take it one step at a time.If you take this approach, you remain focused on that one thing therefore, you will not be experimenting. In order to work on your swing this way, you need to follow a method or work with a swing coach.Working on your swing this way will make the changes permanent because you will spend more time on each posiiton without distractions.I know, most golfers think this is going to take a long time.When you compare way of fixing your swing to the others, you really will getter better, faster this way.
This is because the other aproaches only give you a short term fix whereas, working on only only area of your swing, creates proper mecahincs that you will have well into the future.
