Online Golf Lessons – A Fast Looking Golf Swing Can Wreck Your Game of Golf
Have you got a fast looking swing or a slow golf swing? Most beginner golfers think a fast swing will hit a ball a good distance. The swing maybe is fast, but the ball doesn’t go so far as a professional’s slow looking swing.
Why is this? In this online golf lesson, I will explain what happens in a fast looking golf swing and why you must slow down your swing.
If you think about your body for a minute, you know that it moves much slower than your arms in the real world. So if your body can’t turn so fast, how do you get a fast looking golfing swing? You get a fast looking golf swing when you try and hit the ball as hard as you can with just your arms. This reveals that your arms are moving separately from your body.
What Occurs with Your Shots When Your Arms Beat Your Body?
1st, you will not make perfect contact with the sweet spot on the clubface as swinging with only your arms will lead you to manipulate the club-face as it swings thru impact.
2nd, the harder you swing, the tighter your arms and wrists will be thru impact. Looser arms extend more than tighter arms and tighter wrists release slower than looser wrists ( which increase the width of your swing arc ).
To slow down a fast looking golfing swing, we first have to think rationally about it. Pros have a slow looking swing and they hit the ball a good distance and you have got a fast swing that hits the ball less distance.
Why do you Insist on Hitting the Ball Harder Than the Pros do?
Unfortunately, human instinct sometimes gets control of us when we’re going to hit a golf ball. It is saying the harder you swing the further the ball will go. This does not let us comprehend the reasoning behind swinging slower. Swinging slower feels like you have less power so you can’t see how it’s possible for you to basically hit the ball well and more distance by not using your arms.
You want to convince yourself that you can swing slower to hit the ball convincingly. After you slow down, you will make better contact in the middle of the club face, open your arc and release the club faster. All these things mount up to more distance with less effort.
Take This Online Golf Lesson to Take Your Arms Out of the Swing
All you have to do is hold the club at waist high and feel your body swing the club head. As you swing, listen to the swishing sound the club-head is making as it swings through impact. Now, try and make the club swing quicker by shifting your body weight from the right leg to the left leg permitting your body to turn at the same time. If you let your arms swing overtly you may hear the club swish quicker as you increase the speed of your body.
When you go to hit the ball, you have to relate the same new feeling of using your body to hit the shot. This means that you can not think about hitting the ball. If you consider the moment of hitting the ball, it’ll speed up your arms again. You’ve got to now think about turning and shifting your body weight instead.
This will turn your body and permit your arms to swing down because they are connected to each other. If you are feeling your swing getting fast again just pause, hold the club off the ground and do more practice swings feeling your body making the club swing. It takes some practice and concentration but when you slow your swing down you won’t only gain a sense of easy power but you may start to appear like a professional when you swing the club.
