The best thing about “The Simple Golf Swing” is that it is a system. Most golfers swing at the ball, but never really THINK about what they did wrong, or more importantly, what they did right.Thinking about the possible corrections usually will not work because there’s always a little wrist cock, or a certain turning angle that could have influenced the good or bad result.
What a system does for your game is it allows you to proactively analyze each shot after you hit it and realize the result, good or bad.For example, I hit the ball and it slices. Now most golfers are going to hit the ball again and slice it again.
Maybe they hit a good ball every once in a while, but they’ll never know what MADE them hit the good shot.With this system you’ll get 5 simple steps to go through for every swing you put on the ball. Now you’ll start to see trends developing, and you can always tie those trends back to one of the 5 steps you are most likely forgetting about which is causing the negative trend.
So in my example, I hit a slice. Now because I have this system in place, I automatically know what I have to concentrate on for the next shot. I know that I did one of 2 things. I let my body get ahead of my hands, or I failed to start the downswing with my arms. If I top the ball, I automatically know that I failed to keep my leading shoulder down on the ball.
So the point is that having simple but effective controls in place will really help your game. You’ll be really surprised how much you’ll learn about your own game, and how easy it is to develop and maintain good habits once you understand how to recognize them.
Golf Technique – How To Stay in the Shot
There is a term that commentators on television will often say. He came, or she came, up and out of the shot. When you hear that, it usually means that the ball has gone to the right.
So, let me tell you an example of what ‘up and out of the shot’ means, and then I’ll give you a golf technique that you can use for your own golf game.
In the downswing, both knees stay bent during the bottom of the hit. And as the golf club passes you, the arms have to get out in front of you before you can turn through.
Now, here’s an example of a player that comes up and out of the shot. As they start down, they get out in front and their body unwinds. And they get tall in the hitting area and the spine comes up and you’ll see a push to the right.
So, here’s the golf technique. If you push to the right and you think there’s a chance that you may be coming up and out of your shot, you’ll hit it weak to the right.
A great little practice is for you to keep a little more weight on your right side and let the arms pass you before you turn through.
