Key To Better Golf
The Key to Better Golf By Shannon W. Brown
Golf experts do agree on something. It's not possible to play a
good stroke if your balance isn't maintained throughout the
swing. Keeping your balance sounds pretty simple. But it's nigh
impossible when you have a death grip on the club, your arms and
shoulders are stiff and you're trying to hit the ball with every
ounce of strength can muster.
Beginners are often warned to not try to hit the ball so hard. A
little energy well directed and smoothly applied will drive the
ball father than a monstrous effort that ends up not connecting
the ball at the center of the club. If you're balanced, you have
more freedom when hitting the ball.
You want to keep your head in one spot, your eyes on the ball
clearly. Actually the steadier you keep your head in one spot,
the better you see the ball. This is all part of creating your
foundation of balance. Anything that tips you off balance makes
it impossible to see the ball clearly. You must keep your head
still and not move it from the spot in which you start.
You can't have your body rigid and your muscles tensed if you're
wanting to maintain your balance. Unless you relax your muscles,
your head is going to move.
Practice in front of a mirror and you will see that your muscles
really do need
to be relaxed in order for you to keep your head
still during a swing. No two people have the same frame or
physique. So you have to work out some things for yourself. But
always start with the foundation of keeping your head in one
position. If your head is still, you can see the ball clearly
and you will turn your hands at the right instant.
Just by keeping your head perfectly still you'll correct a lot
of faults. You can't grip your club incorrectly without at some
point disturbing your balance and moving your head. And you
can't keep your balance unless you follow through correctly.
If your mind is concentrated on keeping your balance and keeping
your head still, you won't overswing or jerk your club away. You
won't put forth too much effort forth at any one point. You
won't be stiff and you'll have a smooth, even rhythm to your
swing and a nice finish.
Balance really is the cure-all for many faults of golf. It takes
time before you see improvement, so be patient. Think about
keeping your head still and maintaining your balance at all
times and you will have a foundation for an excellent golf game.
