Improve
Your Golf Swing Fundamentals And Watch Your Game Transform
Most golfers are aware
that by focusing on the golf swing fundamentals, one by one, they stand the
best chance of dramatically improving their game. This is because the golf
swing fundamentals make up the golf swing which is at the heart of the game of
golf.
Golf swing fundamentals
are to be found in the three segments of a proper golf swing which are the
backswing, the downswing and thirdly the impact and follow through.
The backswing is one of
the important golf swing fundamentals because every shot begins here. If the backswing
falls short, so will the resulting hit. At this stage, focus should be placed equally
on body rotation and club and arm extension.
Moving to the downswing as
another golf swing fundamental, this movement actually starts in the legs and
the hips, rather than the arm. There should be a clear transfer of body weight
from back to front with the knees, thighs and hips all beginning to move
forward. This should be the correct movement in every proper golf swing.
The impact and follow
through are the golf swing fundamentals that complete the entire swing. At
impact the body weight should be on the outside of the forward heel and the
inside of the rear foot.
The entire awkward
movement of the golf swing is unnatural to the body and this is why the body resists
and it becomes very difficult to develop all the smooth movements that go into
the proper golf swing fundamentals.
Even endless practice may
not be as effective in developing your body muscles in such a way that the golf
swing fundamentals come as natural as possible. This is where exercise comes in
to play a key role. Many golfers have successfully used golf-specific exercises and conditioning to
improve their golf swing fundamentals.
