The golf grip is the most important fundamental to learn. Your hands are the only part of the body that contacts the club. The position of your hands determine the club face angle at impact, which has the biggest influence over ball flight.
You spend your time perfecting your shot set up and swing shape, yet improvement is still slow. You ask your local golf professional to monitor your swing and they confirm that you are align properly to the target and your swing is on plane. However the ball is still starting left of the target. If you know all of your fundamentals are correct, start troubleshooting your swing by checking your ball position. Harvey Penick called ball position the second most important fundamental. Let’s take a closer look.
To hit shots that go to our target we need to have great aim and alignment. Aim and alignment are not the same thing. They are two different but related concepts in relation to having a proper set up.
So you want to drive like Tiger and putt like Ben Crenshaw, huh? Don’t we all.
Long drives and accuracy are a bit like oil and water in terms of a combination but they don’t have to be. Just imagine if you could hit your drives consistently in the fairway 250 yards + nearly every time…wouldn’t that make the game a lot easier…and fun?
A lot of high handicap golfers can’t actually use a driver.
There are several reasons for this, the main one is they use too little loft. With male golfers it’s a macho thing, they don’t want to use a 12 degree driver because it’s “a bit girlie”. So the macho thing is to go for an 8 degree or 9 degree loft where they can’t actually get the ball in the air and they put too much side spin on it.
Core exercise for golf. You’ve probably heard this phrase mentioned on the television a time or to. This is the area that Vijay works on the most with his golf trainer and it seems to be working for him. He’s driving it longer and straighter and winning tournaments.
Every golfer would like to have a golf training tip to increase their drives by 10, 20, 30 or even 40 yards. But what do you need to focus on to accomplish that?
If you are one of those golfers whose idea of a golf swing with power is by making every effort to try and hit the ball as hard as possible, you are guilty of one of the most common mistakes made by poor golfers.
The driver is a very important club because a good drive can set up a great score while a poor drive can destory your score. Like all golf shots the set up position is extremely important. To consistently hit solid golf shots we need to focus getting our body ready for the swing motion.
Acceleration in Bunkers
A common problem golfers have in bunkers is having the clubhead stop in the sand during a bunker shot. This problem is caused by a deceleration in the golf swing. To properly splash a ball out of a bunker the sandwedge must still be accelerating through the sand. These two drill will encourage the golfer to keep the club accelerating through the sand.
