Step 1
Begin with pre-swing fundamentals: proper grip, good aim/alignment and setup. These will all help provide power and maintain balance. Your hands should be in a natural position to keep the club square at address and at impact.
-
Step 2
Understand basic in-swing principles: dynamic balance, swing plane, lever system, release and timing, swing center and connection.
-
Step 3
Transfer your weight correctly through your swing. This is called dynamic balance. Shift your weight onto your back foot during takeaway. Follow a natural movement of weight through the swing and end with good balance in the finish.
-
Step 4
Focus on your swing plane: the direction and steepness of your swing. Flat or upright swings will control the path of the clubhead, affecting the ball's flight.
-
Step 5
Hinging and cocking the wrists will provide a two-lever system with the arms and wrists to provide more power to your swing.
-
Step 6
Work on your release and timing. You need to create workable rhythm and tempo to control your club and feel a connected swing.
-
Step 7
Rotate your body around your swing center, or “center of rotation,” which is typically your upper chest area. This is not an absolute rule, but it affects contact if the swing center moves too much during the swing.
-
Step 8
Focus on connection and your body movements happening in the correct sequence. Your hands should begin to take the club back, your hips and shoulders will rotate to transfer weight back and then everything will unravel in the opposite order.
-
Step 9
Practice. Nothing will help improve your golf swing better than focus, determination and repetition.
