Golf Swing Tips Irons

    View: 
The upper arms are passive as the right hand and forearm 'snap' over the left a sure sign of a full, committed release of energy through the ball.



The great Henry Cotton always stressed the importance of 'educating the hands', and for me he nailed the essence of the swing. Down the ages, the game's greatest players have all made the same basic mechanical movement (i.e. a body turn coupled with a wrist hinge); they play with a hand action that both conducts and multiplies the energy created by the body all the way down through the shaft and into the clubhead. It's no coincidence that the greatest names in golf have all shared a wonderful hand action.

Ben Hogan illustrating golf swing mechanics perhaps better than any other golfer the value of hand/wrist and forearm rotation in maximising the 'whip' through the ball.

Britain's greatest ever golfer, Nick Faldo, is often cited as a 'mechanical' player who relies on the 'big' muscles in the swing; truth is, Faldo's hand action has always been his greatest asset.

Good players understand the principle of centrifugal force and they maximise the efficiency with which they rotate their body to create it. More importantly, they translate this force into clubhead speed thanks to this vital component of the swing-hand action.

Modern teaching has increasingly focused on the role of the bigger muscles in the body, which misses the point entirely as far as the weekend golfer is concerned.

Golf is a speed game, not a power game. And you do not create speed with the big muscles, you create speed with the smaller muscles in the hands and forearms. So, with that in mind, let me introduce you to a series of drills to help you improve your hand action.

With practice, they will enhance your ability to create a naturally correct swing that maximises speed.

As your only point of contact with the club, the hands play what I believe to be the most important role of all in the basic development of the swing.

This is something modern teaching has tended to overlook; We hear so much these days about the 'Big Muscles' in the body controlling the action and generating power, but all of that, for me, misses one crucial point.

As I mentioned in the introduction, golf is not a power game, it's a speed game. You do not create speed with the big muscles; you create speed with the smaller ones - the hands, wrists and forearms.
Golf Swing Tips Irons
Overall, you generally want to play golf with confidence. If you've hit with your golf driver perfectly once, you can do it every time; the subconscious mind knows the correct number and sequence of muscle contractions and nerve impulses needed, called muscle memory. Visualize where you would like the ball to land, as you swing.

As the body matures, the ability to rotate the upper torso is affected by age, and the hand action can also slow down requiring a slightly stronger grip. Make sure to use the proper technique. At the end of a swing, the weight has shifted almost entirely to the left foot, the body is fully turned to the left and the hands are above the left shoulder with the club hanging down over the players' back.

Standing over the ball for too long a time and wondering whether you're going to swing the club correctly can easily result in a skewed shot, or completely missing the ball. Use the muscles in your legs and trunk when you swing. Putting can become a nightmare and a condition called the 'yips' has affected not only amateurs but professionals as well; get expert advice and consider a golf swing aid.

Before you swing, make sure you're relaxed; contract all your muscles tightly for a moment and then relax them. After the ball is hit, the follow-through stage consists of a continued rotation to the left. Ask your golf pro to evaluate your posture while swinging. Swing slowly and steadily using a nice rhythm. Use the basic 'hitchhiker' position when you're working on your backswing.

It's no secret; most of the professional players actively participate in workouts. You can get rid of shoulder problems with some simple techniques. Don't underestimate the value of fitness when it comes to your golf swing and your overall golf game.

Keep in mind that with some golf swing aids, you may still need advice or help from an expert. Overall, investing in aids will greatly improve your golf swing and your golf game. There are aids that will help you with swing alignment.

Look for golf swing aids at your local golf course. You can find aids that will help you with your wrist and arm position. There are golf swing aids that act as driving range simulators.

Whether you're a seasoned golfer or just starting out, pick just one aid and go to work on your swing. Golf swing aids come in all shapes and sizes including apparel type accessories to correct alignment or a golf club add-on accessory to monitor your swing. Before buying any aid, check with an expert to get an idea of what problem you need to work on first; backlift, momentum of downward thrust or stance for example.

If you're looking for an aid to improve your stance they're not hard to find. In any case, stick to just one aid at a time; don't load up on them.

When you play a round of golf, concentrate on improving your swing, putting or something specific that day; have a plan in mind. If you've hit with your golf driver perfectly once, you can do it every time. Now is the time to fix that golf swing forever.
