Naturally, we are impatient and want results now, on the spot. This is part of who we are, part of human nature. But still, it takes time and practice to develop certain swing skills. The bright side of things is that once you learn how to make a good golf swing, this ability will remain with you forever, because it gets stored in the so called 'muscle memory'. Remember that power and control must go hand in hand.
Balance and rhythm are the two essential factors for achieving consistency in the golf swing. If you perform the motion too fast, then you will loose your balance resulting in poor ball flight. Julius Boros gives golfers the following tip - "swing easy and hit hard." Having the right setup lays the foundation for a good golf swing. You should have your weight equally balanced between your left and right foot. As you pivot to the top of the back swing, approximately 75% of your weight must move to the back foot (right foot for right-handers). At the point of impact, nearly 75% of your weight should shift to the front foot.
Here are some tips that can help you improve your golf swing. As we all know, we learn from watching how the others do something. Therefore, watch good players and Pro tournaments and closely examine how they swing. Practice, practice, practice. Everything requires effort and you have to put all your new knowledge to the test. It's a good idea to practice in the driving range as it will save you a lot of money. If you are feeling frustrated about your swing after several unsuccesful attempts, take a break, think about what you are doing wrong and stay positive. Don't wear sun glasses while golfing, because they impair your depth perception. Have someone videotape your swing, then watch it and analyze it.
