Golf Swing Mechanics

By admin, July 2, 2010 12:51 pm

An aspect of golf swing mechanics that many amateurs overlook is the position of the left wrist at impact. The left wrist should ideally mirror the position of the club face at impact. Often, high handicap golfers have impact positions where their left wrists are bent backwards. This causes them to scoop the ball or to have an open club face, which produces high, sliced shots. At impact, the lead wrist should ideally be flat or slightly bowed. The wrist of the trailing hand should be bent. The resulting effect is that the hands are placed in front of the club head, leading to the golf ball being hit with a descending blow, which is a crucial element in golf swing mechanics for hitting high, crisp, and powerful iron shots.

Natural Golf Swing

When swinging at the tee with your club, you want your path to be natural, fluid, and smooth. You do want to make sure that you have the correct position, grip on your club, and proper orientation toward the green, but you do not want to focus so much on the mechanics that you forget to relax and allow the swing to take its path once you’ve set it up. This is one of the reasons that follow through is so important, as it allows the natural flow of the swing to continue through its curve, keeping you in the right position to hit the ball straight. When you swing your club, focus on the mechanics of set-up, then let it fly and allow your body to act with its instincts.

Golf Swing Sequence

By admin, September 21, 2009 3:04 pm

The golf swing sequence can be broken down into four steps: address the ball, backswing, downswing, and follow through. Skip any of these four steps, and the result will be a poorly hit ball that misses its intended target.

Address the ball. Line up parallel to the ball with the top of club touching the inside of your thigh. The face of the club should be aimed at the target.

Backswing. Raise the club without hurry and with careful precision. The reason for the backswing is to position arms and club for the downswing.

Downswing. Move the hips, legs, and arms slightly toward the target, and move the club downward. Now is the time for speeding up the club, but keep the motion fluid.

Follow through. Don’t stop the swing after hitting the ball. Also keep your head down and focused on the ball until after the ball is hit.

Golf Swing Analysis

By admin, September 21, 2009 3:04 pm

When analyzing your golf swing, one of the main things that you can focus on is your stance. As you approach the tee, watch how you place your feet and position your upper body. Your feet should be shoulder length apart, knees slightly bent and comfortably bent just enough to bring the club into position. If you are noticing that you are leaning too far over the ball, correct yourself by bringing your upper body slightly up so that you are once again in a good position. As you bring the club back, watch to see how you move it up over your head. If you tilt the club one way too far, you will hit the ball in the wrong direction. By slowly analyzing some of the main aspects of your swing, you can improve it along with your game.
