Remember Your Golf Swing Fundamentals Before You Put Your Golf Game At Stake

When it comes to sports or any other skills that needs mastery, we have a tendency to over complicate things than we really need to. This is no different when it comes to golf swing, since it's one of the most important aspects of the game, we tend to over analyze every approach and every swing we take and that can sometimes leave us further away from the perfect golf swing.

Therefore, take a step back and review your golf swing fundamentals, find out why you're swinging this way and if it is in line with what you used to remember. Understanding your fundamentals can be the key to a better game especially for beginners.

Here are some basic swing techniques that you can not afford to overlook:

Start by reviewing the way you swing your golf clubs. This can not be stressed enough; too many beginner golfers are actually solely relying on their arms rather than their shoulders! When that happens, your swing would not be going up in an natural half circle; instead it will be pulled up from the ground which leads to the club angle being too straight.

The best swing actually will create something called the whip effect, which is essentially what helps the ball travel the distance. When you are using only your arms, you will most of the time lose control at the point of impact, and as such resulting in a bad shot. This is because it is very difficult to control your club face angle when you are performing the downswing. So you ought to make sure that you have this basic right by always using your shoulders to guide instead of your arms.

Another mistake that most beginners made during their swing is to try to hit the ball with all their might. This alone can have a disastrous effect because you lose control of your golf swing when you start compromising control for power. The golf club are specifically made to create the whip effect, which explains why different golf clubs have different loft and length.

Simply by understanding which clubs to use for what type of shot, you will get the perfect shot in terms of trajectory and the distance that is associated with it. Thus always remember that you are not playing a game of might, instead you should concentrate on getting the swing right and creating the whip effect that will help carry your ball to a longer distance. Exerting pressure or strength in your shot can lead to you losing your balance and not able to get the best out of every shot.
