Golf Swing Secrets - Stick Your Irons Close Everytime With These Tips!

The golf swing can be very difficult to master, and in reality no one ever gets it completely figured out. However, in this article I am going to share with you 3 tips that will improve your iron play, and help you stick your irons close to the pin time after time!

1. Correct ball position. One of the most important factors in solid iron play is correct ball position. Most golfers play the ball either too far back in their stance, or too far up. This causes inconsistent iron shots. To play a standard 9 iron shot, the ball should be in the middle of your stance. For each club, you want to move the ball up approximately 1/2 of an inch. For instance, your driver would be played off of your front toe.

2. Get behind the ball. If you want to improve your ball striking, then you need to make sure that you transfer your weight "behind the ball" at the top of your backswing. This means that all of your weight is loaded on your back side, and is ready to be transferred forward in order to exert the maximum amount of force onto the golf ball.

3. Angle of attack. Often times golfers attack the ball from a very steep angle with iron shots, which often leads to hitting the ball fat, or topping the ball. If you want to hit the ball solid each and every time, try to come into the ball on a more shallow angle of attack. By doing this, you will eliminate many of your inconsistent shots.

Golf Swing Improvement Secrets to Stop the Insanity

Golf swing improvement can be elusive for most golfers. I have read many articles and studies on the huge number of golfers quitting the game every year. They are tired of putting in the time, buying equipment, taking lessons, and purchasing every golf training aid on the market only to see no golf swing improvement.

You can't fault a frustrated golfer who experiences the above and quits. Life is too short to spend 5 hours on a golf course and not enjoy it.

Let's discuss why this happens!

First off, golf swing improvement should be approached from the inside-out. That means starting with your body. If your body has physical restrictions, you won't ever be able to make a repeatable golf swing with any power or accuracy. It's a physical impossibility.

You can try-and-try, but it won't happen!

You body dictates your golfing ability. Like in any sport, raw talent is hard to come by and is only for a small percent of the athletic community.

Do you feel like you should be a better golfer? How many times have you walked off the course in disgust...knowing you should have played much better? This is a common occurrence and one that can be fixed quickly.

The right approach to golf swing improvement is one that looks at your current golf swing faults and the 'physical' reason behind it. I see this all the time. A golfer takes a lesson; the instructor tells the golfer what he needs to do; and the golfer can't do it!

What a frustrating situation!

For every swing fault, there is an underlying 'physical' reason why it keeps happening.

Let me give you one of many examples to substantiate the above statement.

You are a slicer. That means you come "over-the-top" with your upper body. Do you want to know one of the many reasons why this happens?

Here goes!

You have poor core strength and flexibility.

If your body cannot initiate the downswing with the lower body, especially the hips rotating; it is because your core muscles are sending a message to your brain saying, "we can't do this, so figure out another way (compensation) to get me back to the ball."

Now the upside to this scenario.

You work on your core rotational strength and flexibility. You don't hit more balls. You don't add more swing thoughts to your swing. You don't do drills at the range til your hands are bleeding. You just improve your core. That's it!

The result?

You are able to initiate the downswing with your lower body, create and retain stored energy in your core area, and you not only stop your slice, but you add 30 yards to your drives!

That's golf swing improvement the right way!

Again, this is just one example of a golf swing fault; and the cause and solution to eliminating it forever.

Now golf is fun again!

So when you think of playing better golf; take a new approach to your golf swing improvement.
