important tips you should know about a good golf swing

in order To develop a simple, comfortable and effective grip.


• Your grip is the foundation of your golf swing. Make sure your grip is comfortable. It is important to develop a neutral grip that requires no compensations during the swing.

• The orthodox position with the V.s of both hands (formed by the forefinger and the thumb) pointing between the chin and right shoulder is a good place to start. Very few good players have grips with the V.s pointing very far from this position. If you want a little stronger grip move the left hand over to the right a little.

To learn how variations of the grip affect ball flight. Experiment with slight variations of your grip.

• Observe how the changes affect the flight of the ball. A weak grip encourages a slice or fade. A strong grip encourages a hook or a draw. The V.s formed by the index finger and thumbs on both hands should point between the chin and right shoulder.

• To develop the best possible grip for you. Every golfer swings and grips the club differently. Over 90 percent of golfers use the Vardon or overlapping grip. Players with smaller hands sometimes find the interlocking grip, with the little finger of the right hand interlocked with the index finger of the left hand, works best for them. Players with smaller should use a baseball type grip.







1. A proper grip will reduce your tendency to slice. A good grip will keep the club head square at impact and keep the shaft from turning in your hands. Pictured is the popular overlap grip, also known as the Vardon grip.

2. Try for a relaxed and comfortable feel. A tight grip will hinder your rhythm and release. The V.s formed by the index finger and thumbs on both hands point between the chin and right shoulder.

3. Turning hands counterclockwise on the shaft (weak grip), promotes a left-to-right flight of the ball (slice). Turning hands clockwise (strong grip) promotes a right-to-left flight of the ball (hook).

4. Do and Don'ts

don’t grip the club too tightly. A tight grip inhibits a smooth swing and follow-though. Also, keep the grips on your clubs in good condition. Worn grips force you to hold the club too tightly. Replace the grips on your clubs as they get worn and smooth. When first learning the grip, keep a club around the house and practice gripping and regripping the club a few minutes each day. Remember to keep fingers secure and arms relaxed.

Stabilization Exercise the key to a great golfer

Golf is a precise club-and-ball sport, in which competing players called golfers, use many types of clubs, An attempt is made to hit ball into each hole on a golf course, while employing the fewest number of strokes. it is one of the few ball games that does not require a standardized playing area. Instead, the game is played on golf "courses", each of which features a unique design, although courses typically consist of either nine or 18 holes. Golf is defined, in the rules of golf, as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules." Golf competition is generally played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known simply as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes during a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play


Stabilization

To be a good golfer Stabilization exercises is paramout.because stabilization exercises are exercises that develop the balance capabilities of the body. A large portion of your balance capability is directly related to the core region of the body. We know that if you are unable to maintain your balance through out the golf swing. The efficiency of the swing, contact with the ball, and club head speed, will be compromised. For example, when you swing your driver and are not able to maintain that perfect finished position, the problem may be related to your ability to balance. Balance training develops the integration of your neural and muscular systems. Improvement in the functioning of these two systems of the body and integration of these two systems will result in a better swing. Follow the logic and it will all make sense. If you improve the ability of your body to balance, then the ability to maintain balance within your golf swing will become easier. Implementation of exercises into your core program that improve your balance (stabilization) capacities then a direct transfer into your golf swing will improve greatly.

Body rotation & Tiger Wood’s secret to power

You may ask? How does Tiger generate so much club head speed and power at impact? He has god-given talent...and always has, and he is so strong! Without a doubt, the strongest player on tour! Vijay Singh is a close second, but Tiger is 10 years younger, so youth does play a part.

There is a couple of things right off the top that any golfer no matter age or ability can accomplish given a little bit of "off the course" training on your body.

Tiger does this better than anybody because of his core strength. You can do this too! Develop your core rotational strength with simple stabilization exercises in your home, you will add many yards to your drives. This type of swing is a feeling of being "connected" throughout the swing.

Tiger fights his lower body's tendency to get way ahead of his upper body during the downswing (getting "{stuck"), so he tries to keep his arms and club in front of his chest for as long as he can. This promotes a better sequence for the downswing, which puts him at impact in a very powerful position.

There are a couple of drills you can do to achieve this body rotation. Sticking a towel under both armpits while you swing a wedge is one way. If the towel drops, your arms have become disconnected from your body.
