Golf Swing Tips-One Piece Takeaway

If you would like to learn the proper one piece takeaway this tip is for you. Why do you want to take the club back like this? You start the backswing this way so you don’t activate your hands in the early stages of the swing. If you hinge immediately and activate your hands you will be in a position to use them to try to hit the ball in the downswing.
By learning this one piece takeway drill, you will be able to keep the hand out of the backswing and use your coil to get the club going back. With this action you develop torque in the backswing which will make you much more consistent.

Here`s another explanation by Herman Williams:

Learn the Golf Swing Takeaway from PGA Golf Professional Herman Williams as he demonstrates how to make the perfect one piece takeaway for an on plane backswing. Herman reveals the common mistakes most amateurs make in the takeaway that lead to further swing plane errors in the golf backswing. And he shows you a few popular misconceptions that you still see in modern golf instruction.
Some of these common takeaway problems are the old “low and slow” sweeping the golf club back inside which gets the club off plane almost instantly. Then there is “fanning the clubface open” … even a “toe up” position half way back is too open. And lastly, picking the club up to the outside. All of these takeaway mistakes send the club off plane and compound into further backswing problems at the top of the swing. Naturally, the transition to the downswing will be more difficult as a result, and impact will suffer as well.
So the secret to developing efficiency and repeatability in the swing is to start the golf swing takeaway online, going straight back and in one piece. Watch a good player like Tiger Woods and notice the width and on plane extension in his takeaway. Tiger works hard to stay on plane as it is so much more efficient.
Another key distinction to be made about the golf takeaway is the clubface position at the waist-high point half way back. Most golf instruction has this position incorrect, describing the “toe” of the club as pointing straight up. Herman Williams is known for the detail in his online golf lessons, and this video is no exception as he pinpoints the exact clubface position you should expect to be in at the waist-high backswing position. The clubface in a proper one piece takeaway will appear slightly “closed” with a 10-15 degree tilt downward toward the golf ball. This is just one of the many valuable nuggets you’ll get from watching Herman go through the entire armswing motion for the golf backswing.
Also in previous videos from Herman Williams, he has talked about the perfect golf setup and the importance of a neutral grip and flat left wrist to make the correct backswing. Today’s golf swing takeaway video adds important related details to help further understand how the swing actually starts with a cupped left wrist but ends up with a flat left wrist. In the proper setup and takeaway, the cupped left wrist is maintained until the waist-high position, and then Herman teaches how to finish the backswing as the lead arm rises and rotates the club on plane and the wrist hinges into the “flat left wrist” position at the top.

Golf Swing Tips From Bob Toski

Golf Swing Tips From Bob Toski… Become A Better GolferHere is an article by Jack Moorehouse, author of “How To Break 80”, where he passes along golf swing tips from Bob Toski, a world renowned golf instructor.———————————————————

Every successful golf instructor brings something different to the table. Take Bob Toski. Bob is a top instructor. He started the first golf school for Golf Digest in 1971. He conducted schools in Japan, Canada, and the United States. And he opened the first Golf Learning Center in the world with his partner Gary Battersby.

Ranked 15th by his peers in Golf Digest’s list of the 50 Greatest Golf Teachers, Toski has a unique teaching philosophy and approach to the game.

Unlike other teachers, Toski emphasizes “discovery golf” to cut strokes from your golf handicap. He believes that confidence and awareness are the keys to great golf. He also believes that you must become your own coach to play your best.

Toward that end, he teaches students in his golf lessons how to gain swing awareness and learn to reduce swing interference. His philosophy is best summed up in his colorful sayings, which succinctly capture his guiding principles. Below are some golf swing tips and the rationale behind them.

* An ounce of touch is worth a ton of brawn.

New golfers don’t understand the concept of learning the game from the green back. They grab the driver, go to the first tee, and start wailing way. If they make contact, they hit the ball all over the place. After a while, they get frustrated. They get a lot of airmail and no zip code, another of Toski’s colorful sayings. Instead, start with learning to putt. Work on aligning the putter face with the ball and the target line. Look for golf tips that teach you how to do this.

To improve, use two shafts to check alignment and ball position. Starting with straight, four-foot putts, place one shaft on the target line directly behind the hole. Place the second one on the target line directly behind the ball. Use the shafts to line up the putt and square the putter face to the target line. This breeds confidence. Work back to eight- and 12-footers

* Control distance and direction to achieve perfection.

Balance and rhythm are key elements of a good swing. They’re more important than getting into certain positions on the course. The key to controlling distance and direction are in the hands and feet. The hands are the holders and the feet are the controllers for timing and balance. Train your hands to work properly throughout the swing. Eliminate herky-jerky motions and let your feet support the swing’s timing.

* You need traction for action.

To hit good middle iron shots, move to the ball first. Then, move laterally through it, not the other way around. In addition, play the ball just forward of center and bend from the hips, so you’re hitting from a solid base. On the downswing shift your lower body toward the target, so your hands and arms learn to square the club at impact. In short, lead your middle iron downswing with your lower body while keeping grip pressure light but constant.

* Swing on the line of play and you’ll find your way.

Long irons are great for tight fairways on short holes. Tee the ball close to the ground, so it’s almost like hitting the ball from a perfect lie. This enables you to use the club the way it was designed and the way it’s taught in golf lessons. Be aware of your hands and arms as you control the clubface through impact. Also, swing the club back on slight inside arc. If you can’t get enough clubhead speed to get the ball airborne with a long iron, switch to hybrid.

* Feel the force, don’t force the feel.

To play with the “big boys,” you need to hit for distance. How do you do that? You must create force with your clubhead. If you’re a smaller person, use the quickness of your body to offset the lack of size and strength. Below is a good drill to teach this principle:
Place two shafts along the target line—one in front of the ball, the other behind it. Place a golf ball just inside each shaft. Then hit some shots, swinging the clubhead over both balls. This drill encourages you to swing the club from inside to inside, with the club rotating and swinging naturally.

Toski’s sayings are colorful and memorable. They’re also great reminders of key golf principles taught in his golf lessons. Keep them in mind next time you’re at the range or on the course. They’ll help you cut strokes from your scores and your golf handicap.

Golf Swing Tips

Here are some great golf swing tips regarding the golf stance… from Bobby Eldridge… head pro at PurePoint Golf reviewing stance and ball flight… plus golf grip instruction.Here`s Bobby…I’m going to talk with you about how to draw the golf ball, hook the golf ball, or fade or slice the golf ball on purpose.

That way, the next time you go play, if you have a dogleg right or a dogleg left, or the wind’s blowing from the left or wind’s blowing from the right, you’ll be able to curve the golf ball that will be beneficial towards you.

Let’s say I’m going to play a hole that has a big dogleg to the left, and I think that I can get it out and around the corner. I’m going to give you a couple of ideas on how to draw the golf ball.

After you go through your routine, make sure that you aim the golf ball further right than normal, than you’re used to.

The second thing is I’m going to give you some golf grip instruction. You should turn your grip a little bit to the right. This will encourage the face to curve over.

And lastly, make sure that you’re aiming with your shoulders, knees and hips to the right. And if you’d like to and you feel comfortable, you can put the right foot back a little bit.

This will encourage the golf club to swing a little bit more underneath you from the inside.

Now let me give you a little bit of information on how to make the golf ball fade.

After you’ve gone through your routine and you’ve aimed down the left side of the fairway, another golf trip instruction is to make sure that before you draw the golf club back that you turn your grip to the left a little bit. And this will delay the face from closing opposite of the draw, and the face will return more open than it will square or closed. And then swing away and that will help the golf ball fade.

Now let’s spend a minute correcting a hook. If you’ve been struggling, really hooking a lot of your tee shots, all you have to do is check your grip. The golf grip instruction is to make sure that it’s over to the left a little bit and that will encourage the face to stay open.

If you’ve been slicing the ball, make sure you turn your grip a little bit further to the right, and that will help the golf club close and bring the ball back to center instead of slicing so much.

Try that the next time out and see how it works.

Golf Swing Tip–How To Hit A Draw

Golf Swing Tip… Learn To Hit A Draw And Make Your Slice Disappear

Most golfers fight hitting a slice all the time. What we are going to do, with this golf swing tip, is to learn how to hit a draw and, in turn, it will teach you how to correct your slice. This is an added bonus because once you learn how to hit a draw, your slice will disappear.

These are seven (7) simple steps that will put you in position to hit a draw every time. You will be able to draw or even hook the ball anytime you want.

Seven (7) Steps To Hit A Draw

1. Close Your Feet Position

In your normal golf set up, you would want to have your feet positioned parallel to your target line. Well, in setting up to hit a draw, your feet want to be pointed to the right (if you are right handed) with your left foot in front of your right foot.

2. Close Your Shoulders Position

You want to align your shoulders parallel to your closed feet position. This closed shoulder position will promote an inside out swing needed for a draw.

3. Aim To The Right Of Your Intended Target

Your golf ball is going to move left (if you are right handed) so you must aim right of the intended target to get the desired results.

4. Close The Club Face

When you are making contact with the golf ball you want to impart a hook spin on the golf ball and this is helped along by having a closed club face. You will have to use the practice range to determine how much you want to have your club face closed. Obviously, the more you close the club face the more the golf ball will hook or draw.

5. Make Sure You Have A Strong Grip

A strong golf grip is when the Vs on your right and left hand are pointing toward your right shoulder. In general, you want your hands to be positioned to be able roll your right forearm over your left when completing your golf swing. In short, you want to be closing the club face through impact.

6. Swing Along The Plane Of Your Closed Set Up

OK, your feet and shoulders are pointing right. So, we want to complete our golf swing along that same plane. This set up position promotes an inside out golf swing which in turn promotes the draw.

7. Let The Club head Release

Everything is all set up for you, you are positioned to the right, you have a strong grip, you have the right swing plane. Now, what you need to remember to do is release the club head. Be sure to finish the golf swing, let it fly!
—————————————————————–

You need to take these seven (7) steps to the practice range and see how the golf ball reacts to this different golf set up and swing path. With practice, you will be able to learn to be able to draw or hook the golf ball a little or a lot and be able to use it during your golf round as situations arise. It will help you to be a more well rounded and better golfer.

Golf Swing Tension Free

Golf SwingTension Free… here`s a golf tip from Golf Swing Speed Challenge to help us keep the tension out of our golf swings and increase our distance greatly.

Golf Swing Tension Free

Here’s A Simple Drill To Reduce Golf Swing Tension (so you hit the ball further!

Does this sound like you?… You feel a lot of tension in your golf swing and you try to tell yourself to relax but the harder you try to do this the more tense you become.
If this does sounds like you the first piece of advice is to not “try.” Why?

Because trying creates tension in your golf swing so cut that “trying” out first because it’s costing you distance and accuracy.

Next you should go out to your driving range and simply hit balls while humming quietly to yourself. When you’re doing this focus on your humming and notice if it stops or changes pitch at any time during your golf swing.
Just keep hitting balls focusing on your humming with the goal of swinging without the hum changing pitch or volume from the moment you start swinging to the end of your golf swing. But please don’t “try” to achieve this.
Simply keep swinging and focusing on your humming, and soon without you noticing the “whys” or “hows” your golf swing will become more rhythmical and less tense. Once your golf swing is more in tune with your natural rhythm you want to keep it that way. Do this by having a few golf swings each day while quietly humming to yourself.
Doing this will help you to have a golf swing with less tension and consequently you’ll hit the ball further and more consistently.
