Simple Golf Swing Review - Check Out These 5 Golf Tips!

Here are some tips that might help your game. 5 to be exact. Every good simple golf swing review should mention something about making crisp and solid contact with the ball. Here are some ways to do that.

1. Spine Angle. Try to maintain a consistent spine angle. If you fail to do this, then on your downswing you will be forced to try to get your body back to the same position it was in at address, and with everything else going on in the golf swing, that can be a tough thing to do. So make life easier on yourself, and keep your spine angle consistent throughout your swing.

2. Ball First. You see the pros on tv take those huge divots and you wonder how in the world they hit the ball so far when they take out so much ground at the same time. Well, the trick is the hit the ball before the ground. If a significant amount of dirt and grass get between your ball and the clubface, that’s gonna suck some serious power out of your shot. So when you take your divots, make sure that you’re hitting the ball first, then the grass.

3. Weight Transfer. It’s almost impossible to hit a solid shot if you don’t get your weight over to your forward foot. Reverse pivoting forces you to flip the club at the ball, and that move is inherently prone to inconsistent contact with the ball. So do whatever you can to get your weight to your front leg before impact, and you should start to hit some more solid shots.

4. Loose Grip. Stop squeezing the club to death. All that squeezing introduces a lot of tension, and tension is bad if you’re goal is a consistent swing. So grip the club like you might hold the hand of a small child. You should hold it just hard enough that ti doesn’t fly out of your hands when you swing it. This ensures that you are able to snap the club through the impact zone and fully release the clubhead. Any simple golf swing review should emphasize how important it is to have a grip that is loose enough that you can still feel the shot with your hands.

5. Ball Position. Having the ball too far forward in your stance is the biggest reason for not hitting it solid. Because the golf swing results in a descending blow on the ball, having the ball too far forward is a good recipe for hitting the dreaded fat shot. In a simple golf swing, the ball is always positioned a ball or two to the right (to the left for you lefties) from where the swing bottoms out. This makes sure that the ball is struck before the club hits the ground, making crisp, solid contact a much better possibility.

Try these tips and see if they don’t help you hit the ball more solid the next time you’re out playing a round. There really is not a better feeling in golf than hitting a shot dead, solid perfect.
