How To Fix Your Golf Swing

Golfing Add comments

One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to fix my golf swing .” Below, I have outlined the various methods.  After reading them, it’s up to you to decide which approach you will take. 

Swing Fix 1 – Buy New Clubs

One of the things everyone has tried at one time or another is to buy new clubs in the hopes that their game will change.   Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can help your game if you’re playing the wrong clubs, or your clubs are not properly fitted to you and your swing. The best thing to do, is visit a clubfitter so you can have your swing checked and get properly fitted for your clubs.

There’s another little know way that buying new clubs can fix your swing. Newer clubs feel different from your old clubs.When you hit shot with them, you aren’t thinking about your swing because they feel so different.This new feeling totally clears your mind but it doesn’t last long.A couple of weeks after using your new clubs, they don’t feel all that different so you start thinking about your swing again.  My advice here is to quit trying new clubs. 

As I said above, find a clubfitter and have your clubs professionally fitted.  Then, work on your swing.

Swing Fix 2 – All Those Swing Tps

We’ve all picked up the latest golf magazine and tried the latest golf tips hoping they will magically get our game back on track.Unfortuantely, most golfers don’t have the experience to determine whether or not these tips will work for them. If you feel that you are not experienced enough, and you keep trying these tips, you make do more harm than good. Plus, a tip is just a tip.  It’s not necessarily going to improve your fundamentals. 

An example of a tip would be to move your hands into a stronger grip positon.Even though a tip like this may help you sqaure the clubface better through impact, you are still not doing the correct grip.You should be very careful the next time you go to work on the latest tip you find in a magazine, or from your buddy.  A good idea would be to discuss the tip with your head pro or teaching pro first to see if it would be a good fit for your game.Only then should you try it.  If it makes your swing better, great!

Swing Fix 3 – No Focus

So many people are looking for the instant answer that they fall into the trap of trying way too many things all at once.  This approach is like throwing mud against the wall hoping it will stick.  Unfortunately, this is only going to lead to confusion.  Plus, you may have tried so many things that you can’t remember what worked and what didn’t.   Even if you did find something that worked, it may have been luck.The only way you truly know if this way of working on your swing is a success is if you remain successful in the future.

Swing Fix 4 – Only Work on 1 Thing

The best thing you can do to fix your golf swing is to work on one thing untl you have it mastered.  In doing so, you stay focused only on that thing which means you aren’t going to experiment and try 5 different things at once.   In order to work on your swing this way, you need to follow a method or work with a swing coach.Working on your swing this way will make the changes permanent because you will spend more time on each posiiton without distractions.I know, most golfers think this is going to take a long time.  When compared to the other fixes I mentioned, this really will be the fastest. 

The reason is, the other ways I described only present a short term fix whereas, isolating one part of your swing develops the right fundamentals that will stay with your long into the future.
