Remember that shallow-faced, long shafted enigma that was the bane of the average Joe’s golf bag? Remember the duck hooks, the ego-reducing shanks produced with the use of 2, 3 or 4 irons in your bag? Remember when you bought a set of irons, but felt compelled to use it because no matter the number of irons you buy, you can’t seem to swing the right way? That must be really frustrating on your part.

Improving your golf swing relies on proper positioning of both the body and your club. First, make a back swing and reach for the head cover with your right arm extended. Then, perform some slow swings, brushing the head covers with your knuckles.

One common mistake of beginner golfers is that they give away most of their power and strength on the first few feet of the swing. The right arm is bent too much, pulling the club behind them, which commences a chain reaction grabbing the speed of the swing. This is a complete no-no in golf. And, you would often get a weak, arms-only swing that doesn’t make use of the leverage available from the rest of your body.

You need to remember to accelerate the hands on the downswing and continue accelerating until the ball is is on its way towards the intended target. Avoid slowing your hands because it impacts the correct release.

With wedge play, in order to maintain the loft of the wedge through impact, the face should aim at the sky for as long as possible. This will help you change your impact conditions and reduces the possibility of hitting the shot fat.

You need correct footwork to improve your golf swing. This is a key point for golfers that is often overlooked. Footwork is an essential detail, that even the most careful and meticulous golfer can overlook without a spotter’s trained eye. Hence, to avoid sloppy footwork, stick a tee in the ground just outside your left heel. The moment you start with your down swing, nudge the tee forward with the use of your heel prior to rotating to the finish.

Another important component is performing the correct body weight shift. The golden rule in golf is that the weight of the golfer should always move in the same direction as the club. Meaning to say, when the club swings backward, the golfer will too and when the club swings through, you should swing through.

In brief, ways on how to improve golf swing involves fixing one’s swing problems. If you’re able to do this with the right position of the body and the club coupled with proper weight shift and footwork, a good play is underway.
