Hi all,

Thanks for reading. This site is dedicated to getting the best golf swing possible. Without it, you are more than likely destined to be a bogey golfer even if most other elements of your game are good. Now we would all like a Fred Couples golf swing or a Tiger Woods golf swing, but let’s get real. Most of us (me included!) just don’t have the physical ability and talent that these golfing giants do. So, improving comes down to breaking up the golf swing sequence and practicing each component and making the improvements that we can make within each step. I know that dramatic improvement is absolutely possible with the right golf swing lessons. I know this because I dropped 6 strokes in my first game after implementing a different set up sequence and implementing some simple strategies to help with my slice. Keep reading because I am going to reveal these tips to you.

I was able to implement these strategies after practicing with a whittle ball in the back yard, and they have been crucial in lowering my handicap (and winning back some of the money I’ve given to my golfing buddies over the years!) Whether I’m hitting a driver or a nine iron, I can put the exact same golf swing on the ball and know that I’m going to make solid contact with the ball. That kind of confidence has done wonders for my overall game. So, happy reading and then happy practicing.

Regards,

Dick

One of the biggest golf swing problems is the slice and if you’re anything like me you have had to deal with it. But don’t worry, golf swing help is on its way!

Two factors determine the trajectory of your ball flight:

1. The angle of your club face at impact
2. The path of your club at impact

I had the problem of letting my body get way ahead of my hands. And it was difficult to fix because all I could think at the top of my backswing was coming down on the ball to gain maximum distance.

But, instead of thinking maximum distance, think about minimizing slice. Here are some tips:

Start the downswing with your arms. Get to the top of your backswing, and then the first move should be with the arms. Put this move together with keeping the leading shoulder down, and it will do wonders for both your woods and your irons.

If you look at any of the really good players, you will see that they actually initiate the downswing by “pulling” the club down with their arms. They do NOT start the downswing by twisting the chest towards the target. That is a very important distinction to make.

Regarding your leading shoulder, the number one thing to focus on is keeping your leading shoulder “down” on the ball through impact. This is called staying strong through impact. Lots of times the leading shoulder (left shoulder if right handed) flies up before impact. What this does is make the club face come from an outside path, which will cause a slice every time. By focussing on your leading shoulder, you will begin to stop your body getting ahead of your hands, and that is really important.

Keep the leading shoulder down and let your arms and hands release through the ball. The key is to let your arms release through the ball, while your left shoulder is “Down” on the ball. To do this you will need to rotate your forearms correctly, and use your leading ELBOW (not shoulder) as a hinge. So another way to explain this movement would be that your hands are still moving towards the target, but your leading elbow has almost stopped. Try a slow motion golf swing to practice the feeling.

It took a bit of practice, but these tips combined with the set up sequence (which I’ll share with you in the next post) have meant I have hugely increased my consistency in hitting straight and on the fairway. Oh, and did I mention that by implementing these tips, you’re likely to add an extra 20 yards to your shot? Not bad.

Hi All,

If you are anything like me, you’re always trying to improve your game. I have recently been focussing on my swing swing sequence (which you can divide into separate parts: the set up, back swing, downswing and follow through). I’m going to give you some tips on a unique set up I learnt which I believe has been my biggest golf swing help for increasing my consistency in landing the ball on the fairway and also addressing my slice.

The basic premise is to swing around the spine. The key is to limit the amount of horizontal and vertical body movement during the swing, which means you will automatically get the correct swing plane that promotes consistency and power. Here are the steps:

1. Your feet should be about a shoulder width apart (longer clubs a bit wider, shorter clubs a bit narrower)
2. The toe of your left foot should be pointing straight out, not pointing to the left. This will stop you from a full shoulder turn in the downswing sequence.
3. Place the ball in the middle of your stance. You can experiment with it being off centre once you have gained consistency – toward the trailing foot for short irons and toward the leading foot for long irons. Note: Off centre means no more than a ball width!
4. Now stand straight up with your knees almost locked and your back perfectly straight. This will probably feel a little uncomfortable, but give it a go. It’s really important that your spine remain straight because your spine will be acting as the axis for your golf swing.
5. Next comes the grip. Hold your club straight out in front of you with arms extended and elbows locked. The club should be parallel to the ground. Now, move the club down (still parallel to the ground) so its level with your waist and belly button. You will have to bend your wrists to do that (it’s OK). Remember, you are still standing straight with shoulders back and chest out.
6. From here, bend over from the hips (ie. Keeping your back perfectly straight) until the club touches the ground. You might have to move backwards or forwards depending on where the ball is, but you’ll get better at lining up.
7. You may feel like your butt is protruding, but that means your back is straight and that’s exactly the point.

You are now in a position to hit the ball straight and consistently down the middle. With a bit of practice this set up will become natural to you. After I implemented this I dropped 6 strokes in my first game with the guys. They noticed and I told them where I had learnt the technique (and many more).

I’m now hitting in the low to mid 80s virtually every game with the occasional foray into the high 70s and that kind of consistent performance feels great!

Dick

This is Tiger Woods down-the-line iron slow motion shot from the fifth tee on the final day of the US Open at the Oakmont Country Club, Oakmont, Pennsylvania in June 2007. Some say he’s not good off the tee, but I wouldn’t be unhappy with a shot like this…

A lot of money and time has gon into Tiger’s swing. If you’re wanting a more systematic and easy to implement approach try the ebook (yes and ebook) that helped me. (I’ve cut 8 strokes off my handicap now)
