Golf Swing: Stroke The Swing Don’t Hit The Ball
In your younger years you may be tempted to come to the golf course and there is an overwhelming tendency to hit the ball.
If you are looking to impress your friends and the people you are playing with you will want to hit the longest drive you can.
The problem is that when you are thinking about hitting the ball hard than this is usually when you lost distance.
If you have been out driven by somebody who seems to have a slow swing it is because they are stroking the swing not trying to hit the golf ball.
We all watch the professionals and see them hit the ball with fast powerful drives, but they aren’t actually ‘hitting’ the ball.
They are actually stroking the ball albeit at a lot faster speed and a whole lot more powerful manner than people who ‘hit’ the ball.
This ’stroking’ becomes all the more important with short play where a stroke will result in more accuracy and a more accurate level of distance for the particular choice of club.
If you are a ‘hitter’ of golf balls then you can start correcting this area of your game by concentrating on how you putt, this will teach you how to have a smooth tempo and golf swing
Everyone naturally has a tendency to stroke the ball on the green because they know that the distance can be achieved with a light touch.
The next step it to take that relaxed action to the next step with your short game using the pitching wedge, 9-iron and 7-iron.
Once you see how well the ball will travel and the additional control you have by stroking the ball you can then use that same relaxed flowing action with the other clubs in your bag.
Once you learn to concentrate on the golfs swing in a flowing motion you will see immediate improvement with your driver and your other woods. This is also effective when swinging your irons and it will lower your score and handicap.
If you have the chance to hit balls in an open field or back yard you can get some serious practice in. Bending down and picking up golf balls can kill your back but this is the coolest ball shagger I have ever seen.
