Dont be put off sorting your golf game any longer. Act now with this step by step guide to building the perfect golf swing. In this golf lesson we are going to start at the beginning, with the set-upnbsp; as it is key, so lets start with the grip.
1 The handle of the club runs diagonally through the fingers of the left hand, from the bottom of the little finger to the first knuckle of the index finger.
2 The left heel pad of your hand sits on top of the handle with the thumb running parallel to the grip. The end of the thumb should not extend past the first knuckle of the index finger.
3 The left thumb fits snugly in between the heel pads of the right hand. Feel that the right palm faces the target as this helps you control the clubface in the swing.
4 Get the little finger of your left hand airtight to the grip. This will stop the club from moving at the top of the backswing.
5 Balance your body in the centre of the feet. Your buttocks should stick out creating curvature in the lower part of your spine. Ensue you are looking down your nose with your chin away and forward from your body. This will assist your upper body rotation.
6 Create a nice nale between your arms and the golf shaft line. This will encourage the club to lie flat to the ground at address.
7 Your shoulders should be postioned in line with your toes with your arms hanging comfortably down, tension free
8. Gauge the right amount of knee flex by having them just covering your ankles as you look down in your address position.
9 Practice your alignment by placing cones in front of your ball to form a gateway for you to swing the golf club through. By starting with a large gap to hit through you can achieve some rhythm, receive instant feedback and register a success in your brain each time. A neutral ball position stops the shoulders opening or closing. As your regularly hit the ball through the gate, make the gap smaller and smaller to fine-tune your accuracy.
In my next lesson, I will give you some tips on having a smooth take-away in your golf swing.
