The game of Golf is mostly a set of measured actions and movements especially when it comes to a swing! Golfers that are constantly seeking to develop their swing are those getting the most accurate, long distance shots. Let’s face it, swinging a golf club accurately is made up of quite a lot of things. Nevertheless here are 3 suggestions that can really make it easier to get some excellent (consistent) shots. Don’t forget, a golf swing isn’t really something that’s perfected one time, it requires a lifetime of training.

Alright, tip number 1. Ensure that your stance feels right. For example, if you are feeling like you are bending over too much then ya most likely are. Part of your swing represents your feelings before you actually take that swing. So relax, get relaxed with that stance first. Keep the shoulders parallel towards the ground and your hips in line with your shoulders (forming a square). Concentrate on a comfortable stance, next begin refining your stance into a powerful, accurate swing.

The next thing to look for is where you’re putting the ball within your stance. Each and every club inside your bag includes a different angle to the club head. This angle is designed to provide you with the kind of range you expect from that particular club. You will probably notice how the club head on your woods is shaped differently than your irons. The club head upon a wood is made to produce a lot more power on impact than an iron and that accounts for the additional range you can get from a well struck wood. When the ball isn’t in the proper place in your stance, then you do not gain any kind of benefit from all of the golf club engineering which was just explained. Woods require the ball to be forward in your stance to benefit from the power these clubs create at impact. Middle irons require the ball to be inside the middle of your stance so that you’ll be able to get more effective control over the precision of your shot. Short irons and chipping irons require the golf ball to generally be further back inside your stance to allow the angle of the club head to better change the spin of the ball. Place the golf ball where it needs to be within your stance and you will exercise greater control over the outcome.

Lastly, it is a good idea to remember that your swing is a pivot type motion where you are moving your weight and power from back to front. It isn’t a lifting or falling motion, nor is it a shoulder swinging motion. Your entire body needs to pivot properly for the golf swing to produce great results, therefore practice pivoting your body on your hips and correctly transferring your weight from back to front to get good results. Do not lift your body, and do not let your shoulders to dip down. You can prevent raising your body by keeping your eye on your ball. Keeping your focus on the ball throughout your swing almost insures that your shoulders will stay down on the ball as they are supposed to.

Practice your golf swing and include the concepts of weight shift and a smooth pivot to improve range and precision. It’s not necassary to approach the golf ball as if you have to hit it extremely hard to get it go where you want it to go. A smooth and cyclical swinging movement will constantly produce much more accuracy and range each and every time.
