Many golfers think the golf swing is difficult and complicated to get correct and repeat consistently. However, this is not the case when you are working on a simple swing model or concept. I try to teach a system for a simple swing that is effective and can be learned without having to practice for hours and hours a day.
Many golf instructors will teach their students as if they were going to be touring professionals. This means they’ll overcomplicate the swing by breaking it down into so many difficult individual parts and pieces, and the fluidity and completeness of the overall golf swing is often lost. Most golfers are looking to play better and drop their handicaps enough to make a significant difference in their scores so they can have more fun and be more competitive in their rounds with their friends. Getting too technical with the golf swing can often be a detriment to many golfers especially while out playing on the course. Working on some technique on the driving range is okay, but out on the golf course, a golfers needs to have a swing they can trust and not have to think about too much.
My swing system stresses the importance of having a proper setup from the golf grip to proper posture and alignment. Golf ball position is also an important part of the setup that needs to be correct in order to hit good golf shots consistently. Making the necessary adjustments in your setup can often get rid of a lot of problems you may be experiencing with your golf swing.
The most important concept I teach in my system is to “swing” the golf club as opposed to steering, lifting, or guiding it. When you swing the club properly, it will stay on the correct swing path more easily. You’ll also gain more club head speed which will allow you to hit the golf ball farther. Good tempo and rhythm will result from a naturally swinging motion and it will actually improve your technique without even trying.
Swinging on the proper swing plane is an important component to hitting straighter and longer golf shots. In order to make sure you are on plane, try to swing the golf club directly over the tip of your right shoulder in the backswing. Then on the downswing and followthrough simply mirror that by swinging the golf club back over your left shoudler as you complete the swing. Doing this will allow your golf club to swing more on plane throughout your entire golf swing and give you more successful golf shots.
