Fix Your Golf Swing the Right Way
One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to fix my swing .In the next sections, I show you some different approaches you can take.After going through them, it’s going to be up to you to decide which approach is the best for you.
Swing Fix 1 – Purchase New Equipment
At one time or another, most golfers have thought the buying new clubs was going to instantly change their game. Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can improve your golf game if you’re playing the wrong clubs, or your clubs are not properly fitted to you and your swing. What you should do, is find an experienced clubfitter and have your clubs fitted and your swing checked.
Buying new clubs gives you a quick fix in another way. Newer clubs feel different from your old clubs. This means that when you hit shots with them, you’re thinking so much about how the new club feels that you aren’t thinking of how you’re swinging. This totally clears your mind but it’s only temporary.Using your new clubs for a couple of weeks and they won’t feel all that different so you go right back to thinking about your swing. My advice here is to quit trying new clubs.
As I said above, find a clubfitter and have your clubs professionally fitted.Then, stay focused on working on your swing.
Swing Fix 2 – Trying Different Swing Tips
We’ve all picked up the latest golf magazine and tried the latest golf tips hoping they will magically get our game back on track. The problem is, most people don’t know their swing well enough to determine if, in fact, these tips would apply to their swing. If you feel that you are not experienced enough, and you keep trying these tips, you make do more harm than good. Plus, a tip is just a tip. It’s not necessarily going to improve your fundamentals.
An example of a tip would be to move your hands into a stronger grip positon.A tip like this may help you square the club a little better but it’s is not helping your develop a proper grip.You should be very careful the next time you go to work on the latest tip you find in a magazine, or from your buddy. A good idea would be to discuss the tip with your head pro or teaching pro first to see if it would be a good fit for your game.You should try it only after this consultation.It it works, that’s fantastic!
Swing Fix 3 – No Focus
So many people are looking for the instant answer that they fall into the trap of trying way too many things all at once. This approach is like throwing mud against the wall hoping it will stick.Unfortunately, this will be too confusing. Plus, you may have tried so many things that you can’t remember what worked and what didn’t.Even if you had some success, it may have just been luck. The true test for this apporach is your game improving long into the future.
Swing Fix 4 – Working on One Thing at a Time
The best way you should work on fixing your swing is to take it one step at a time. In doing so, you stay focused only on that thing which means you aren’t going to experiment and try 5 different things at once.To work on your swing this way, you will need to study a swing method or take lessons from a qualified pro.By working on your swing this way, you solidify the changes because you are only focused on one thing at a time.I know, most golfers think this is going to take a long time.If you compare this way to the other fixes I descreibed, you’ll make progress faster this way.
The reason is, the other ways I described only present a short term fix whereas, isolating one part of your swing develops the right fundamentals that will stay with your long into the future.
