Standing farther away from the ball increases the distance the club head travels, which allows it to build up more speed and power when you take your shot.
Sometimes, a tight grip on the club can make you tense up your shoulders. Try letting go of the club and grabbing it again slightly looser.
If the grips on your clubs are worn out, replace them so you don’t have to hold onto your club as tightly.
Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground during your backswing since it could affect your overall posture. While you’re practicing, stop at the top of your backswing to see where the club head is positioned. Make sure it’s near parallel to the ground.
Your forward swing should only be slightly faster than your backswing. Don’t go too slow or else your movements will be jerky and the ball won’t go where you want it.
Learn how to slow down just a pinch to try and get that ball to land more center face upon impact. Avoid pulling the club up or leaning back when you swing forward since you may accidentally hit the ball lower on the head than you want. It may take a bit of practice to consistently hit the ball in the center of your club. Spend some time at a driving range to practice swinging through with each club you have.
The loft near the top of the club head may be greater than the center, which can help increase the distance of your shot. For example, a driver with an 11-degree loft in the center may be closer to a 15-degree angle near the top.
Keeping your foot slightly angled toward the hole will help you rotate your hips farther so you get more power and distance from your swing.
Rushing through your swing can affect your posture and cause you to hit the ball with the wrong part of the club head.
Point your shoulders in the direction you want the ball to go to help guide its path.
It may feel unnatural at first to hold your club toward the front of your body, but continue practicing your swing so it feels comfortable.
Only check the direction of the club face while you’re first practicing your shots. Otherwise, you can throw off your rhythm or miss the ball during your forward swing.
Don’t “break” your wrist too early or else you may not hit the ball or it won’t go as far as you want it to.
Aim to do about 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps. Increase the number of reps you perform when you start feeling comfortable with the exercise rather than increasing the weight. That way, you’ll tone your core and obliques more so you can repeat the movements faster and with more power.
If you want a more difficult exercise, get in a sit-up position and lift your shoulders off the ground to activate your core. Kick your legs like you’re riding a bicycle, and rotate your upper body to touch your knee with the opposite elbow.
After you feel comfortable doing bodyweight squats, start to incorporate dumbbells to help build more muscle. Most of your power during your golf swing comes from your lower body.
Do your cardio training for a longer amount of time rather than increasing your speed once you feel comfortable. That way, you’ll feel comfortable through an entire golf game.
