Tips to Improve your Golf Swing

How you can play better at the golf course

To become a really good golf player you need to improve your golf swing. Even when the basic elements to play golf are the same for everybody the differences in the body type make necessary to execute some adjustments. 

A lot of practice is necessary in order to develop your own swing and to be really good at it. One of the most important tips to improve your golf swing is to keep your head still and look directly into the ball. Your head should be in a straight line with your spine and your nose must be a bit raised at the moment you execute your swing. Many people make the mistake of tucking their heads into the chest to keep their head still and look straight down to the ball. 

Man playing golfIn order to correct this first assume the right stance with your feet and knees in position but keep your head and back straight incline forward a little at the waist and look straight at the ball. When you make the swing in this position is very likely your left shoulder will hit your chin. While keeping your eyes on the ball, raise your head slightly until the left shoulder doesn’t hit the chin anymore. To make sure your head does not move sideways is important to keep looking at the ball. 


Very slowly practice the backswing and downswing parts of the golf swing and do the follow through. Do not hit the ball yet. Keep practicing in your backyard and you will notice some improvement.

The movement of the hands and forearms are among the main techniques to improve your golf swing. First, put yourself into the position like you are going to actually hit the ball, then flip your trailing wrist like you were casting a fishing pole. This is commonly called as wrist break and is not a move that you want to execute while swinging. If you put a watch you will be able to see the correct move to make. As your leading arm advances impact the watch face should be getting close to pointing exactly down the destination line. 

Then simply rotate the watch face so it points to the ground. With a golf club in your hand you will notice that this move make your trailing wrist and forearm flip on top of the leading wrist and forearm. You will notice as well this move reduce the slice and increase the distance of the shot. Don’t forget to keep your forearms as close as they can be through the impact area. If you can master that it will increase the distance of your shot and will help a lot your slice.
