Golf Backswing Tips… training tips to improve your backswing.

What are some exercises you can do to improve your golf backswing?

We have an under three minute video with Mike Pedersen, PerformBetterGolf.com, that has some exercises that will help strengthen our golf backswing.

The obvious advantages of these exercises is to strengthen the muscles necessary to complete and be able to repeat the proper back swing.

Here`s the description of the video:

“Mike Pedersen, Golf Fitness Exercise Trainer, shows simple effective golf stretch to improve golf backswing range of motion. Golf flexibility and stretching that is specific to yourbackswingwill give you the quickest results. Golf training like this done “off the course” will add yards to all your clubs and eliminate aches and pains from the rigors of a round of golf”.

In the video, Mike shows us some simple exercises that can be done indoors (important here in the northeast) or out and will help to build the appropriate golf muscles plus get the stretching in to promote our range of motion. The exercises are done with a dumbbell. We can use whatever weight we are most comfortable with.

Mike does a real good job of explaining the exercise process and how to complete the reps.

These exercises should really improve our strength and flexibility in making a good back swing.

Fix Golf Slice

This lesson is entitled, “The Quickest and Easiest Way to Draw the Ball” (fix golf slice), and it’s sure to make a lot of people very happy.

I’ll tell you right now… this is going to be painless, contrary to what you may think. I’ll start with a single definition.

Level Shoulder turn – a turn that stays level with the ground (parallel to the ground) through the backswing.

So, now that we have that out of the way, let’s continue on with this quick and easy tip to draw the ball. And if you’ve battled a slice for years upon years, just wait until you try this. The next time out to the range, your slice is going to be dramatically reduced.

Here it is. Instead of taking your normal shoulder turn (whatever that may be), focus on keeping your shoulder turn as level as possible (parallel to the ground). So as you are setting up to the ball, feel your feet on the ground to determine if there is an uphill or downhill lie. Then in your backswing, just focus on keeping your shoulders level to the ground.

Now, this may actually produce a HOOK of all things, so remember to adjust accordingly. And remember that you are attempting to wrap that club around your body. You want a horizontal swing plane, not vertical. That’s what this level shoulder turn is really accomplishing. You’ll find it so much easier to release through the ball correctly, and to square up the face of your club at impact.

Give that a try on your next trip to the range and you’ll be amazed to see that dreaded slice going away, especially if you use this in conjunction with the rest of the“The Simple Golf Swing” system. I know this probably seems incredibly simple to anyone who has been battling a slice forever (fix golf slice), but just remember that simple solutions are usually the most effective.

Correcting Fat Golf Shot

Correcting Fat Golf Shot… tips for solid impact

Here are golf instructions concerning correcting the fat golf shot when the ball is above your feet.

These golf tips come from Jack Moorehouse, author of “How To Break 80 And Shoot Like The Pros”.

Hitting A Ball Above Your Feet

Three things can happen when you don’t make the right adjustments.

First … since the ball automatically moves right to left, you’ll pull the shot out of bounds.

Second … on shots above your feet … you can shift your upper body forward during the swing and come into the ball at a lower than normal, hitting the ball fat.

Third … you can lose your balance and pop out of you stance, resulting in a weak slice.

To hit a ball above your feet, adjust your stance so you’re aiming right of the flagstick, which compensates for the tendency to pull the ball left.

Center your weight above your arches, not on the balls of your feet, which helps you swing along the slope and stay in balance throughout the shot.

Also, keep your posture constant so you can maintain the same spine angle you set at address through impact.

Lastly, you can also grip down on the club, to compensate for the shorter distance to the ball.

Make these adjustments next time you have this type of lie and you’ll hit the ball solidly.

I hope these golf instructions help you play better golf!

Callaway X Hot Iron Set

X Hot: The New Standard in Distance

Born from Callaway complete performance, X Hot Irons have created the new standard in distance for the irons category, allowing golfers to hit a 7-iron where they used to hit a 6. Renowned accuracy is just the beginning with an undercut cavity and Speed Frame Face Technology that make the face hotter, especially on the low CG, and new feel management technology that promotes crisp, dynamic feel at higher ball speeds. Without question, these are the longest irons in golf.

Deep Undercut Cavity

Deep clubface/undercut cavity system enables engineers to precisely position the CG, increase face compliance and engineer the face of each individual iron to maximize ball speed.

Speed Frame Face

The Speed Frame Face maximizes ball speeds all across the face for longer, more consistent distance. Technology borrowed from our drivers has actually been applied to these irons to produce the higher ball speeds and explosive distance that you’re looking for.
