Learn to swing with your golf club
The biggest mistake most golfers make is that they hold the golf club too loosely in their fingers and too firm in their arms. Due to this, the golfer loose control on his club and as a result is unable to play a good swing.
If you want to play a good swing, the club should be held tightly in your fingers. Think a cup of coffee is on the table in front of you and you try to pick it up with loose grip of your fingers but your firm arms. Can you guess the consequence? Perhaps the cup will be dropped. The same may be the case with a golf club.
Once you understood how to hold the club, the next thing is to learn is the proper pull. If you pull too swiftly or from your elbow or shoulder, there will be a lot of tension in your arm and upper part of your body. You need to strengthen your fingers and try to swing the golf club smoothly while having stiff control in the fingers. By doing so, you will have one fluid motion and you will direct the ball to get in the way. This way you will also be able to bounce off the club appropriately.
Now when you learnt the skill of holding the club in your firm fingers and attain a fluid motion, you will able to play various shots in a creative manner. Playing your best golf is at your finger grips.
There are different ways in which you can swing your golf club. The most prominent one is the modern swing, also called the lower body swing or total body swing. Most first time young golfers having a thin body have been seen playing this specific shot called “tail swings the dog”. A young boy generally swings the club with his arms, but his body inertly twists a little in reaction to his arms’ and club’s movements across the front portion of his body. A young boy usually has a flexible and supple torso that easily moves about in space in reaction to the forces that come into play by the active movement of his arms and club.
But most of the grown up men who have bulky body and a firm central torso play a shot which is called “dog swings the tail”. Generally, an over-weight man is seen playing such type of shot because he fails to bend his torso in response to the movements of his arms and the club.
