Free Golf Swing Tips

In developing your golf swing, you must first remember that all your shots won't be perfect instantly. For beginners developing their first swing or for more advanced golfers who wish to refine their current swing, it's going to take time and practice to get the perfect golf swing.

Before you swing the club, you want to make sure you're holding the golf club correctly. If you're right handed, make sure, as you're gripping the club, that your right hand is below your left and you're wrapping your right hand around the shaft of the club and around the thumb of your left hand. I've also seen some golfers lock their pinky finger of their right hand with the index finger on their left, but I find I don't have as much control during my swing locking those two fingers. Furthermore, as you grip the club shaft make sure to do so by gripping it with your fingers. You don't want the shaft to be in the palm of your hand. By using a light grip with your index finger of your right hand and your thumb you'll experience more control of your swing.

For working on the proper golf stance, you must realize your stance will vary depending on the type of shot you have to take. For the typical drive, I usually stand with the ball more towards my left foot so I get a nice swing straight through to the ball. There's really no correct distance in how far from the ball you have to stand. Make sure you just not crowding the ball. As for me, I approach the ball and stand at whatever distance feels most comfortable.

As you're eyeing up your shot, getting ready to swing, position your body weight so most of it's on your back leg. This will help you get more power behind your swing. Keep your body straight and your knees slightly bent. As you bring the club back to take your swing, bring the club back slowly keeping your head down and eyes fixed on the ball. I know a lot of people who actually look slightly behind the ball and end up taking a huge chunk of grass out from behind the actual location of their ball.

For drives I bring my driver back with a wider angle in reference to my body than with an iron. I bring the iron back almost parallel to my body. Still keeping your head down and eyes on the ball, bring the club back down and through to the ball. Follow all the way through with your shot keeping your shoulders square. Don't lift your head or take your eyes off the position the ball was laying until you see green. Once you see the grass where your ball was sitting, you can raise your head. Also, make sure to stay nice and relaxed before you swing. If you tense up, you won't hit the ball as well as you could of.

In conclusion, these are some free golf swing tips. Remember to grip the club correctly, use a correct golf stance, and work on your swing. When all these things work together, you'll get the perfect golf swing.
