Golf Swing Tips: The Most Important Tip To Improve Your Golf Swing Technique
from:Practically every weekend golfer looks for golf swing
tips to try and discover the holy grail of the perfect golf
swing. Unfortunately, like so many of King Arthur's knights,
they never find it. Why not? Is it because they lack the talent,
faith or hard work? Is there some missing ingredient which
causes the golf swing tips they learn to fail for them?
First of all, many golfers just do not have enough practise.
Golf, like martial arts or any other sport, requires practise.
Unlike, say martial arts, where you only need to practice your
kicks and punches on a flat surface, golf can be much more
complicated. Golf is closer to warfare - you need to practice
how to use 14 different golf clubs on a variety of different
surfaces and terrain. How many of us actually manage to practice
all 14 of our golf clubs? At best, most of us only train with
two golf clubs - the driver and the putter. What about the 2
fairway woods? And the irons and wedges? How many strokes do you
lose in the sand trap or bunker because you were not familiar
enough with your wedges? Is your skill with your irons good
enough to get you out of the roughs efficiently?
So, it does not matter how many golf swing tips you managed to
find. If you failed to get enough training with all 14 of your
golf clubs, 1 tip has the same effect as 10 tips -- absolutely
zero. Consider the example of Vijay Singh. Many golf experts and
analysts have various nit-picks about his golf swing mechanics.
Some of them do not like his posture. Some dislike his
backswing. Others think he has excessive followthrough. But he
ignores them all. All he does is swing his club at the ball all
day long. Even during tournaments, he is reported to practice
his swings 3 to 6 hours everyday. All this training pays off for
him - he is a consistent tournament winner, earning six to seven
figures every year in prizes.
Secondly, too many people rely on finding a silver bullet.
Instead of practicing their swings and other shots, they waste
their time looking at the latest new-fangled golf club in the
catalog or golf shop. As if getting the latest and greatest
driver or hybrid club will improve their golf swing without any
practise. They forget that every time they change their club
they need to re-learn the golf swing mechanics of that club.
This is especially bad for some golfers who buy new golf clubs
like their wives buy new shoes.
Thirdly, many golfers do not fully understand their golf swing
techniques. They take the golf swing tip for one technique and
try to apply it to another golf swing technique, with disastrous
results for their golf swing. At the most basic level, there are
two different types of swing - the "one plane swing" and the
"two plane swing". When you read a tip, do you know which type
of swing that tip is meant for? Many golfers face serious
problems when they apply the tip for the "one plane swing" to
their "two plane swing" or vice versa. For your information,
Vijay Singh uses the "one plane swing" while Greg Norman uses
the "two plane swing".
Despite the proliferation of golf swing tips and free
golf lessons online, you only really need one tip to improve
your golf swing technique - just hit the ball more often. That
is all. Just hit the golf ball 10 times more everyday and you
will see your handicap improving (Unless you already hit the
ball 1000 times everyday).
