[S563]Slow Motion Golf Swing Video

by Edward Charkow, Edw

The first suggestion I'm going to give you is by far the best and that would be to employ the services of a local PGA approved golf pro. The job of a pro is to assist you in finding the best swing for your particular golf game. Unlike the tapes and books you see in infomercials and widely available online, golf pros will actually watch you play and offer advice and guidance that are specific to your personal strengths and weaknesses. Golf pros can offer assistance, especially with the trouble shots such as sand traps and chip shots.

The next series of suggestions that I can make are geared to help those that are either skeptical of the assistance that golf pros can offer, can not afford the services of a golf pro, or simply have no desire to employ the services of a golf pro. That advice for a proper swing when faced with the sand trap is:

1) The goal of golf is to get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible. With this in mind, it makes sense when stuck in the sand traps, to play smarter rather than harder. The goal is to get out of the trap as quickly as possible. If the best play is to hit the ball backwards on the course make it a very short hit and take the loss once rather than landing yourself in the same trap over the course of several strokes.

2) This may sound like a no brainer, but using the correct club is extremely helpful in getting your ball out of the sand trap. Remember that the sand trap is less than desirable terrain from which to hit a ball, with that being said, using a pitching wedge, sand wedge, or other high lofted club you have the best shot at not only getting your ball out but at having some control over where it goes once this is accomplished.

3) Follow through. Let me say this again; follow through with your shots, even in the sand trap.

4) Open the clubface, by rotating the club head. This increases the loft and increases the chances for a soft landing.

These tips are not foolproof nor are they one size fits all. Golf is a sport that is largely based on fit and feel. If it feels right for you, then it is probably the way to go. I still encourage you to strongly consider employing a pro golfer to assist you in finding what works best. If that is not the course you wish to take or feel you can take at the moment, I hope this helps.

Does this sound like you?

Unless you have 8 hours a day to work on your golf swing like the pros have, you will not be able to achieve that ultimate goal of consistent performance. The golf swing technique of today has become so complicated, that golfers are ?paralyzed by over-analysis?.

I've heard some great analogies lately!

How about walking? Would we think of every biomechanical movement in every joint of our body when we walk? I don't think so. If that happened, we'd have a lot of frustrated, immobile people out there.

The same thing holds true with golf. Having a basic understanding of how to hit the ball to your chosen target is critical, but after that, you shouldn't have to think of 30 different things to swing the club to make this happen.

The end goal in golf is to get your ball to a target as accurately as you can, and then get it in the hole. With that being said, why are so many golfers not improving? The answer and solution are quite easy.

It's what I say more than a dozen times every day to golfers. ?It's your body that swings the club, not the other way around?.

Your swing is only as good as your current ?physical? capabilities. Don't you think that makes sense? I mean'if your body is tight (inflexible), do you think you'll be able to make a nice full backswing with minimal tension? No way! That's a physical impossibility.

The ONLY way to be able to achieve optimal swing mechanics with minimal effort is to improve your body's ability to reach these physical points in the golf swing consistenly. Whether it's a 90 degree shoulder turn, or hips slightly open with your head stationary behind the ball at impact.

It makes total sense to break down the swing fault you are currently dealing with and look at the physical requirement needed from your body. The more involved I get with improving golf performance, the more interested I'm getting in the biomechanics of the golf swing and how to improve them with the physical approach (both strength and flexibility).

I've seen dramatic results from members of my websites and customers of my golf improvement products, which tells me this is the way to improve your golf swing the quickest. I've had golfers literally tell me they wish they would have taken this approach 20 years ago!

Why not end the frustration once and for all and take a look at the ?source? of your swing fault?

With this approach, the last thing on your mind will be golf swing help.
