Things You'll Need:
- Golf club
- Golf ball
-
Step 1
Prepare your stance with your knees slightly bent and your weight balanced between the arch and balls of your feet. You do not want your weight to be too far forward or too far backward.
-
Step 2
Take the golf club straight back while beginning to shift your weight to your back foot. Rotate your shoulders as you take your club back. During your back swing, you want to keep your weight on the inside of your right foot, if you are righthanded. This will give you a better base to push off during the down swing.
-
Step 3
Lift the heel of your front foot off the ground when your club reaches the top of your back swing.
-
Step 4
Drop your back shoulder to begin your down swing, and then begin to rotate your hips and shoulders to the front. Your body rotation will be followed by your wrist and then the golf club. This sequence creates lag in your golf swing.
-
Step 5
Make contact with the golf ball. At this point, your hips will be more open than your shoulders. Continue with the progression by shifting your weight to your front foot. At the end of your swing, the heel of your back foot should be off the ground.
