Finally
Understanding the
Secrets to Fixing Your Golf Swing
There
are several factors in your golf swing that can result in losing
distance with
your shot. These things are not that hard to fix if you can zero in on
exactly
what you are doing wrong during your swing. Following are several
things you could
be doing to fix your golf swing.
A
reverse pivot happens when you rotate your body too far and then fail
to shift
your weight from your left front foot. This causes you to lunge behind
the ball
and end up scooping it. This is called a fat shot. You could even end
up
popping the ball up accidentally when doing this.
In
order to prevent a reverse pivot you must manage your weight properly
while you
are swinging the club. You need to shift most of your body weight to
your back
foot during the backswing.
You
also need to keep in mind that shifting and sliding are not the same. A
proper
weight shift should occur when you turn. Your body will turn away and
your
weight will consequently move to your back foot.
Turning
is an important aspect when it comes to power. While you turn and move
shift
the weight you have loaded on your back leg with torque. This will
place you in
the ideal position to come down with maximum power and speed on your
downswing
and then the unwind. By turning properly this will allow you to unwind
faster
and thereby hit the ball harder.
It
is also possible to lose distance in your shot by having a late wrist
cock
which may also result in swaying. This is the segment of a swing that
is the
most frequently overlooked but is quite common. The amateur golfer may
think
that the less wrist cock the greater the accuracy however this is not
the case.
If
you properly cock your wrist it will help you in properly rotating your
body
more effectively which in turn increases ball speed. Remember that you
need to
set your wrist earlier. As your hands reach your waist during the swing
they
should be at a 90 degree angle. Your left arm should be straight and
your right
elbow should be tucked in at your side.
This
should allow for efficient rotation during your swing. The proper wrist
cock
will also keep you from dipping your shoulder while allowing you to
swing your
shoulders in a level plane.
If
you release too early you will decrease the power in your shot. A great
many
amateur golfers buy into the myth that an early hand release is proper
technique. Not only are they wrong but they also risk losing their club
from an
overactive right hand. The ideal method to avoid releasing the club too
early
is to rotate your body before releasing your hands. It is all about
turning
your body.
