Make a Full Golf Swing

The clubs of a golf set are each “designed” to produce the distance a golf ball will travel when hit properly using a full swing. A couple of basic factors producing this golfing technology are the loft on the club face and the length of the club shaft. Also important are the swing mechanics of the golfer and the generated club head speed produced by the golfer when he/she strikes the ball properly using a full swing.

It is important to use a full swing when hitting most golf shots. However, there are exceptions to this rule such as weather conditions and specialty shots, when the golfer wants to take some distance off his/her shot. Otherwise, use a full golf swing when hitting most shots.

Follow the simple swing mechanics below to learn how to complete a full golf swing. You will become more proficient in your swing mechanics with practice. Your improved swing mechanics will allow you to generate more club head speed. The increased club head speed along with general improvements and the distance technology built into each club, will produce the distance the golf ball should travel when hit properly using a full swing.

NOTE: If you are left handed, you will follow these instructions in opposite; unless you can hit the ball following these instructions as they are written.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Step 1

Imagine you are standing inside of a human sized clock. Your head is at the 12 o’clock position and your feet are at the 6 o’clock position. The left side of your body is on the same side as the 3 o’clock position and the right side of your body is on the same side as the 9 o’clock position.

Grip your club and take your stance.
Step 2

Start with your club head on the ground in the 6 o’clock position. Following an imaginary arc, slowly swing your club upward to your right.

Step 3

Hold your club still in this position momentarily. This position is called the top of your swing. When you have reached the correct position, your hands will be between the 11 o’clock position and the 12 o’clock position depending on your flexibility and your comfort level.

At the top of your swing, your club shaft should be parallel or almost parallel to the ground depending on your flexibility and comfort level. Familiarize yourself with this first part of the full golf swing, etc.
Step 4

Following the same imaginary arc, slowly swing your club downward. However, do not stop swinging the club when it hits the 6 o’clock position.
Step 5

Continue swinging the club upward to the left, following an imaginary arc until your hands are between the 12 o’clock and 2 o’clock position, depending on your flexibility, etc. When you end up with your hands between 12 and 2 o’clock, this is called follow through.
Step 6

Keep your eye on the ball, when you begin to practice these swing mechanics with a ball. But understand that as you hit the ball and follow through with your swing, your head will naturally lift to the left slightly. If this slight head movement is comfortable to you and does not impair your golf swing, then it is okay. However, some think that your head should remain down, with your eyes still looking down at 6 o’clock. Practice both ways and go with the one that works best for you and does not impair your ability to hit your best shot.
