How to Improve Your Golf Swing - Simple Tips to Improve Your Game

How many times have you been out on the golf course and heard one golfer tell another golfer to, keep their head still, or keep their head down while they swing. Let me put an end to this myth for you. The only place a golfer should keep their head down or even still for that matter, is on the putting green.

Keeping your head still will cause your shoulders to tilt instead of turning on the backswing. This along with the lack of shifting your body weight, which is caused by a still head, and causes a reverse pivot. The only way a golfer can get the club back to the ball is by keeping the weight on the right side on the down swing, and this will inevitable cause a pull or a slice.

In order to over come this, turn your head slightly at address, so that your look at the ball through your left eye. You should allow your head to rotate slightly as your turning your body away from the target on the backswing.

Every slicer, and most golfers who pull the ball left, have the line through their shoulders or hips or feet aiming left of the target. All or any of these misaligned can cause you to swing across the line and thus off trarget.

The line drawn through the feet,hips, and shoulders should be parallel to the ball-to-target line. While playing on the course, a simple adjustment check is to hold a club parallel to the ground across the middle of your thighs. This will give you a good indication of where your feet and hips are pointing.

Another factor common to pullers and slicers is ball position. Invariable, the ball is placed too far forward (that is, toward the target) in stance.

This Ball position forces the line across your shoulders to point left of the target at address. This in turn will encourage you to swing on an out-to-in swingpath.

By simply pushing the ball back in the stance a little you can achieve a much more comfortable set-up.

I like to see more experienced players play with the ball opposite the left heel for a wood shot, and moving back gradually to a position just short of midway between the feet for a short iron.

Less experienced players should have the ball positioned for a wood 1 in (2.5 cm) inside the left heel, and for short irons, back to midway between the feet.

unless a golfer has good set angles at address, he will find it very difficult to swing the club on a consistent plane. Very few amateurs have good posture. Stand on a first tee anywhere in the world and watch how golfers stoop, crouch, stretch, and bend at address.

Stand up straight with arms at your side. Look down at your shoelaces. Now bend your knees untill you can no longer see the shoelaces. Keeping your back straight , push your bottom out, and move your head out towards the ball, keeping you chin off your chest. Let your arms hang straight down and grip the club. Tilt your left shoulder (or your right , if left-handed) up a little and check that your body weight is on the balls of your feet.
