Golf Hints - Fixing the Golf Swing Stroke

I only need to look up and down the range to see that there is a colossal range in different swing stokes and golf style. Walking to an empty bay, I frequently try to avoid positioning myself next to those battering the ball most of the way down the range. Seeing their gigantic swings and the result of the ball flying high and long isn't what I want, with my greatly slower swing. It is too overwhelming and makes me feel very inferior!

But, with a fresh amendment to my swing rhythm, even though I do not appear to hit the ball as hard, by applying the correct tempo I am getting just as good a carry as the big hitters, but since the trajectory is flatter, the roll afterwards is a good deal longer.

So, what is the secret of the swing tempo? Well, start it at the address position. Make sure that when you set up to the ball you are relaxed and steady and simply and rhythmically move the club to the top of the backswing. If you find the club too heavy at the top of the backswing, stop only short. Better to not make a full swing than to begin the downswing unsteady.

Once I get to the top of the backswing I put in a exceedingly slight pause. Long enough for it to be noticed by those watching, but not much. All that I am doing is making sure that once I have got to this position my thoughts change from making a perfect backswing to starting a good downswing.

It is a micro pause. Next to nothing. Merely long enough to once I touch the backswing position to say to myself 'hips'.

And that is when they shift left, which initiates the entire downswing routine. As my hips go left, I drop my right elbow down to my waist, with the power in the arms starting and building on the way down. But not the full power of the swing merely yet. It is merely when my hands get to between the 8 o'clock and the 7 o'clock positions do I let the full power of the swing develop, the club accelerate fully and the power to be unleashed. It is not a huge power difference, but enough to feel it. Just enough to give you full control of the club at the start of the downswing, before the power is applied.

That is my golf swing temp fix and it has increased my driver carry by around 30%. Wait until your hands are between 8 and 7 o'clock before you really apply the power. It may not look as dramatic, but it hits the ball only as far and probably a marvelous deal straighter, as you are eliminating the wobble and lack of control at the start of the backswing. Any errors brought into the swing there will be magnified by the time you hit the ball.
