Analyzing Your Golf Swing - How to do it Right!
Quite often, becoming a really exceptional golfer requires nothing more than learning how to analyze your golf swing techniques the right way. While this certainly isn't the easiest thing to do, once you learn the little things to look for, the process gets easier and your game gets much better. If you can have someone video tape your swing or snap an abundance of pictures in a row, this is ideal so you can actually see what your entire body looks like throughout the whole swing.
Address
If your head is positioned toward the right, your weight will follow, which will promote a high trajectory. The inside of your feet and the outside of your shoulders will ideally be in line. If they are wider, you will slide at impact, if they are narrower, you're probably a turner. Also, the ball should be lined up with your left shoulder.
It is important to understand that if you have a wide arc too early in your backswing, you're making it harder on yourself when it comes time to transition into your downswing. If your left knee moves out, you have an overly long backswing which could cause you a few problems.
The Transition
Analyzing the transition where you go from your backswing to a downswing is important and you could find all the answers that you're looking for to improve your game. If you're right arm happens to be too close to your side, your left arm will likely bend at the elbow. Also, if the face of your club is open, you need to rotate your hands to square it (correct this before you swing).
Referencing your elbows once again, you will notice that your body turns excessively if you're right elbow is too tucked into your side. Lastly, if your left heel is up at the transition point, this also indicates a large turn and that your power is more reliant on speed rather than control. If that heel remains down, you create your power from leverage coming from your hips, not your feet, which is ideal.
Downswing
If your club directly covers your right arm on the way down, you are more likely to push the ball. Alternatively, if it's shadowing your left arm, you will pull or fade. Ideally, you will show a bit of a lift in your right heel because at this point, your weight should have shifted to your left foot.
Making Impact
If the shaft of your club is at 90 degrees, there is a very good chance you had a great shot. Your shoulders should be open at impact to cause less strain on your back. If you show an obvious shoulder tilt you probably had to actually try to correct something to keep the face of your club square.
Follow Through
Don't stop analyzing quite yet! The follow through is just as important as any other part of your swing. If your shaft is vertical, you likely hit a draw but if it's too horizontal, you are probably what they refer to as a fader. If your hands end high, they should have been equally high on your backswing. You should be creating a perfect arc from your two highest points which means they should be even at both ends.

Golf Backswing - Some Important Info
A lot of golfers prefer to go "low and slow" when it comes to swinging their clubs. This can be viable if you happen to be prone to very quick swings. However, there are those who won't do well using this tactic. This is because they tend to sway and not rotate on their golf back swing when the focus is on keeping clubs low or near to the ground. Also, a very slow back swing can be the cause of an over swing, which can lead to you lunging into your downswing. As such, both swings achieve bad results. Take note thought that each golfer differs when it comes to the speed of their swings.
The best way is to then keep your back swing as simple as it can be. Instead of concentrating on the position you think you ought to be in during your back swing, you should try to focus on some basic swinging methods.
The first of these methods is to try not to emulate what the pros do. Most people aren't at all that flexible and they probably haven't spent any time on any muscle strengthening when it comes to golf. This means that reaching a position that's parallel to the club at the back swing's apex isn't practical. An average golfer has to make different adjustments in his or her back swing for him or her to have a good position. This means that adjustments will also have to be made for the downswing if one wants to hit that ball square on the mark.
The second method is to imagine your chest, shoulders as well as your arms moving as one. Doing so while you stay centered over the golf ball while maintaining good balance will mean that you won't be doing any over swinging. What's key here is to prevent any movement that your arms might make when the chest and the shoulders have reached maximum rotation.
By doing so, the apex of your golf back swing is going to be at either a nine or 10 o'clock position. Either way, these are good positions. In case you're thinking of the lack of power in your swing, you can make up for it by hitting the ball squarely on the mark. One drill that is going to help prevent you from over swinging is placing a golf glove underneath your right armpit and making certain that it won't fall off when you're practicing your back swing. Working on this will embed in you a more constant golf back swing that sets you up for a more successful downswing.

Does Golf Grip Pressure Impact Your Shots?
When you think about the game of golf, one of the most over-looked aspects is how to grip the club correctly and what golf grip pressure to use. Most people will just grab the club and are more concerned with what club to use, how to line up to make the ball go where you want it to and exactly how to hit the ball.
However, if you make the mistake, which many people do, of gripping the club incorrectly or using the wrong golf grip pressure you will struggle to succeed at the rest of the game.
There are three major types of grips you should consider and depending on your game, your experience and some physical considerations, one of these grips is the correct one for you.
Before we start talking about the different types of grips, let's spend some time on golf grip pressure. If you grip the golf club too tightly, you will likely end up with a lot of blisters and you will also see your ball consistently go past the hole because golf grip pressure which is too tight will cause over-swinging.
If you end up with golf grip pressure that is too light and you risk losing control of the club which can cause you to come up short of the green on a regular basis or, even worse, it can cause your slice to become worse.
The easiest way to think about golf grip pressure is on a 1-10 scale. A golf grip pressure of 3-4 on this scale is perfect.
The Overlapping Grip
The golf grip we will talk about first is the overlapping grip. The overlapping grip was made famous by Harry Vardon and is the grip most golfers will, and should use. Also, this particular golf grip is the grip you will see used and taught by most professionals.
The Interlocking Grip
The Interlocking Grip, or the Interlock as it is most-commonly referred to, is another favorite grip used and taught today. In this type of grip, both of your hands are actually locking together on the club. While this grip is not as popular with teaching pros, you will see it as the preferred golf grip by almost all of the professionals playing on the tours today.
Just like everything else, there is a risk with using this type of golf grip. Many people who try this grip for the first time find themselves struggling with keeping the club stable in their hands and can find their palms "straying" from contact with the club. It's almost a necessity, to use this specific golf grip, to have strong hands and forearms. Also, if your hands are smaller than average, then this isn't the golf grip for you.
You can always change your grip to the Interlock as you mature as a golfer and become stronger.
To become a user of the Interlock grip, place the little finger on the trailing hand (the trailing hand for right-handed golfers is the right hand) and wrap it with the index finger on the lead hand. The lead hand thumb should fit in the lifeline of the trailing hand.
To become a user of the Interlock grip, place the little finger on the trailing hand (the trailing hand for right-handed golfers is the right hand) and wrap it with the index finger on the lead hand. The lead hand thumb should fit in the lifeline of the trailing hand.
The Ten Finger Grip
The baseball grip. That is what this grip is referred to by most teaching pros as well as most beginning players; simply because it looks like how someone would grip a baseball bat. You will find this type of golf grip as the least-likely to be taught by most teaching pros but, it could be the right one for you and shouldn't be automatically disregarded without at least considering it.
As this is the easiest grip to teach, you will find a lot of teaching pros using this with true beginners so they can get them familiar with all aspects of the game while not spending an entire hour lesson on just how to handle the club.
Two of the most-important things to consider when determining if this is the right grip for you; your joint health and hand size. If you experience any type of joint pain or arthritis then you will want to use this golf grip as your chosen grip. Also, if your hands are on the smaller size, this will be the right grip for you as well. Surprising, many of the smaller women on the tour today use this type of grip simply because their hands aren't big enough to manage the club correctly when using the other types of grip.
So, if you determine this is the right grip for you, there is nothing to worry about. If the right grip for you allows you to play the best golf, then it really doesn't matter which grip you use.
When learning how to correctly put your hands on the club and use the Ten Finger grip, follow the picture below. It's really not difficult to do. The biggest error beginners tend to make with this type of golf grip is they allow a space to come between their hands on the club. This is a major error and will allow for weakness in your swing. Also, be sure to cover the lead hand thumb with the lifeline of your trailing hand.
If you follow these recommendations you'll be on the correct path to hitting the golf ball straighter and more consistent.

Secrets of Hitting it Close out of the Sand Trap
Skull the ball over the Green? Chunk it short still in the sand? Can't get it close?
Well, I hear your pain. After playing and working with dozens of golfers, the sand game is an area where lots of strokes are lost!
SO, I have broken down the secrets to hitting it close out of the sand/bunker below, which will improve your consistency and lower your score immediately:
- Club Face Position: The Club Face should be in an open position (for right-handers this means it will be aimed to the right of your target) as this helps elevate the ball out of the bunker. You should take the same grip as you have on your full-swing.
- Feet & Shoulders: Your feet and shoulders should be in an open position to allow you to swing along your feet line (across and down on the ball). This is a very important factor to having a consistent bunker game - all the great bunker players swing outside to in, along the path of their feet. To ensure proper balance, stabilize yourself in the sand by digging your feet in an inch or two.
- Legs: KEEP YOUR LOWER BODY STILL when hitting from the sand. Having a strong leg drive or weight transfer will create inconsistent contact and result in the problems mentioned at the beginning of this article. Your focus should be on hitting the sand a few inches behind the ball.
- Splash the Sand: Focus on taking a thin divot of sand that starts behind the ball (unlike a shot from the fairway or rough where you hit the golf ball first and the divot follows). You want to imagine "splashing" through the sand with your club.
- Backswing: On a bunker shot, you should take the club back more abruptly than on a full swing. This allows you to generate a steeper angle down through the sand, which will result in the ball flying higher out of the bunker.
- Follow Through: Decelerating and an unfinished swing are the biggest contributors to poor bunker shots. Because you are hitting behind the ball, you need to accelerate through the shot and finish high!
- Practice: There are short-cuts around some parts of the golf game, but bunker play relies on feel and touch. You must practice it to improve, however, it doesn't have to be hours on end. Here's what you should focus on if you have 30 minutes in the practice bunker:
1. Take the time to get the proper setup (mentioned above) and ingrain that into your mind.
2. Draw a line in the sand behind the ball and focus on hitting that line (if it's a shorter bunker shot, open your club face slightly more and hit less sand before the ball – about 1 inch; for longer shots, hit 2-3 inches behind the ball).
3. Accelerate through the shot every time.
4. Practice hitting to different distances so you can get the feel of how hard you need to swing, how much sand you take before the ball, and how big your backswing is.
Now go out there and get to work! You WILL see a difference if you follow the above tips.

Chi Kung Golf Swing
Author: coco
In this article I'm going to introduce you to the ancient art of Chi Kung - literally translated as breath or energy work - and how it should help improve your game.
What's this got to do with golf game?
Well, many of you may have read concerning the benefits of controlling your breathing correctly (it receives a fair amount of coverage as a part of the "inner game") but the basic truth is certainly, unless you actually practise the discipline on a regular basis, you may never gain the many benefits it should bring to your golf game and life.
Yet, supposing that you should incorporate it into your weekly schedule, this basic Chi Kung exercise may help you to develop a greater understanding of your state of mind - fear, anticipation, anger, excitement (all happening on a golf game course near you!) - and you'll have the tools to take yourself back to a more relaxed state, very simple by concentrating on your breathing.
Chi Kung - the Practise of Standing Meditation
Stand in a natural posture, your feet shoulder-width, toes pointing outwards just slightly, the knees 'soft', your arms hanging loose at your sides and your head as in case gently suspended from above. Allow your witnesses to gaze gently, a mile into the distance, and relax your chest - however without slouching or allowing your shoulders to roll forward.
Now, place your attention in your lower abdomen, just below the navel, at a point called the 'T'an Tien'. Allow yourself to focus quietly on your breathing, silently repeating "I am breathing in - I am breathing out" while you inhale and exhale.
Gently soften and relax more as you stand with quiet awareness on your breathing and make an attempt to maintain a calm and steady focus on your centre-point.
The challenge is certainly to hold your posture and maintain awareness of your breathing for at least 20 minutes (you then repeat the exercise third times per week). Clients who've made a commitment to this very simple practise have reported many benefits, including feeling more enjoyable, recovering more instantly from poor shots, a better eye for the target, fewer swing thoughts, better powers of visualisation and so on.
Therefore how can you incorporate this technique into your own golf game game in golf clubs store?
Once you would comfortably stand for 20 minutes (and it would well take you some weeks to master this, as at first 5 minutes would seem like a lifetime!), you would start to gain greater awareness of your mind and body and may incorporate the learning into the following swing drill.
Chi Kung Golf swing
Stand at address and focus your mind on your T'an Tien (your body's natural centre of gravity, approx 2" below the navel).
Take a few moments to relax and centre yourself as you breathe. Keep your shoulders down, your chest empty and relax your jaw.
Take a breath while you proceed to the top of your backswing, and then exhale all the way through to your complete. Focus entirely on your breathing and trust your swing with Titleist ap2 irons.
Try this drill 6 times "empty-handed" (i.e. without holding a club) and then check it out with your favourite golf club and/or driver, however without striking a ball.
Note your feedback on a scale of 1-10 (1=poor, 10=excellent).
Score in the following way for each drill:
#1 How focused were you on your own breathing, did you have the ability to empty your brain of all other golf swing thoughts?
#2 How relaxed did you are feeling during your swing?
#3 Did you observe a better feeling of stability throughout your golf swing with k15 driver?
Now step up to the golf ball and hit shots while keeping completely centered on your breathing. Relax and enjoy!
