purepoint-golf.blogspot.com The backswing thats radically different from the one 99% of all average golfers use and why it holds the key to consistency and distance.

Can improving your golf swing be as easy as just putting your feet together? The answer is, Yes! Can golf instruction really be that easy? Yes. Let me explain why. The feet together drill is definitely an oldie but a goodie when it comes to full swing drills. This full swing golf drill promotes many good things such as good balance and rhythm as well as improves your timing during your golf swing. Below we will discuss the ins and outs of this simple golf drill and what it can do for you.

To do this golf instruction drill, address the golf ball for a full swing and simply put your feet together. Once in position, take a few .small. swings with a golf ball on a tee no matter what your handicap is or is not. The more comfortable you become swinging with your feet together the larger swing you can make and eventually place the golf ball on the ground. As you will quickly find with such a narrow balance point, this drill tests and promotes good balance and pace during your golf swing. Your goal is to hit a solid golf shot and not to hit it 300 yards. The feet together drill demands that you swing within your capabilities or you will find yourself literally falling down!

If you are not hitting solid golf shots, do the feet together drill whenever you start to lose confidence in your golf swing. If the golf ball keeps going to the right for a right handed golfer then drop your right foot behind you until the right toe is equal with your left heel and make some swings. This will promote the golf club releasing and in a perfect world, you should start to see the ball turning to the left while in the air.

Many people believe that to hit a golf ball properly, all you need to do is step up, and swing. This might be a successful approach for some people, but most people need a little bit more instruction. The golf instruction swing sequence is actually a very complicated series of events. Here is a brief, and simple description of what goes into a properly hit golf ball.

The first thing you need to concern yourself with is the approach. This is the step that will deal with your stance. Many people overlook this aspect of the swing, but the approach is a very important part of this process. In fact, the way you line up with the ball can actually change your distance, and the height of your stroke. You will need to look out for the position of your feet, the angle of the club, the angle of your body, and your grip. Many people believe that the grip is the most important aspect of the swing.

Next you’ll look at the back swing. This is another part of the golf instruction swing sequence that is often over looked. But if you have a bad back swing, it will be very hard for you to make good contact with the ball.

The down swing is the part of the stroke that most people concern themselves with. This is because its actually the part of the stroke that makes contact with the ball. If you only concern yourself with the down swing, however, you might make contact but you will not like where the ball lands.

The last part of the swing is the follow through. Many golfers rush their follow through so that they can watch their ball. This leads to a lot of problems in a golf swing. Proper golf instruction swing sequence emphasis a proper approach, backswing, downswing, and follow through.

Picture this, you have arrived at the range and are ten minutes into your practice. So far you have hit the ball great and are really getting into the groove that you thought you could. And it sure feels good to get that confident feeling on every shot. Right?

Ok .. so all of a sudden, out of no where, you can’t seem to repeat the earlier move. You are now stink’n up the joint with one bad swing after another. And you know that if this keeps up you won’t be worth a crap. But you keep at it. Swing after swing after swing. Results? You ****!

In total disgust and anger at this point you ponder what the next move is. Go home. Stay and work it out. Go putt. Chip? Maybe hit some mini swings with full swing fundamentals.

And, yes, people are looking at you. Making you feel even more useless and exposed. This is not what you came here for. So, go home. That’s right go home. Go now before you change your mind and start the foolishness all over again. Go on!!

Or……….. you could try and figure out what the heck happened to your swing. Thinking that this could happen while you were playing, you should find a way to fix it.

Ok, I agree. Good idea to fix the thing while you are there. No time like right now. Going home is the sissy way out and will leave a bad taste in your mouth and a bad swing on the range.

Bad ideas, both.

So here is what we all should do.

First go get a drink of water or take a short walk and take three deep breaths, exhaling slowly.

And believe this, it happens all the time. Even some of the best players have this exact same issue from time to time. It’s no wonder golf is such a brain twister.

So what to do.

It always gets back to basics. I know that sounds kinda cope outish. But it is the most realistic comment that anyone could make in this instance.

Re-check your grip. Double check your alignment. Triple check your ball position.

Is your posture still good? Spine angle still strong and straight. Sometimes there is a leaning toward getting a tad lazy with the little things and it gets a bit too comfortable, forgetting that all the little things in your set- up are precursors to a good solid swing.

Miss one and you mess up all the rest.

Once you have checked all of these, time for the first move. Make sure you set your angles and keep them through out what you are about to do. ( I assume you are using a lofted iron)

Now with good angles, move to the half backswing position, but make sure your shoulders turn fully. That would be 90 degrees to the target line. Or left shoulder under your chin.

The chest moves the arms and hands as they are now not active. Just let them go along for the ride. Remember to maintain your angles. This is a half swing with the arms and hands.

Your move to the golf ball is filled with objectives, but we will only be using one.

Keep you angles intact all the way through impact. However you have to do this, you must do this.

Some find that they can mentally connect the arms to the shoulders and just turn the shoulders and of course the arms go with them.

This is a minny move, you are not trying to hit the ball anywhere. You are trying to get sequence and timing, along with a sense of control back to where you are in charge of yourself.

Tempo, sequence and timing will start to come back to you as you just lazily, but correctly, muddle through this drill.

Maintaining angles is what this is about.

The golf ball should be getting off the ground crisply and may have a slight right to left movement. That is just fine. But if it is moving left to right you will need to pay attention to clubhead path. Make sure you are hitting the inside of the ball.

You are entitled to a slight weight shift with this drill if you like, but it isn’t really necessary.

A very fast review on angles, there are two we are concerned with. The angle of the right wrist to the right forearm. This is the ” trayed” right wrist position. That’s one.

note: the left wrist should not be in the awful “cupped” position.

And two is the angle that is formed by the shaft and the right forearm. That’s two.

The latter, in this drill, will be about 90 degrees as the left arm is parallel to the ground and the shaft is pointed straight up in toward the sky.

Keep this angle.

Take it casually here as you work out the stress of being the driving range laughing stock. In a matter of moments your swing will be back and you will shut them all up.

Nice feeling right?

Oh .. if you read the article on what lag is, you would have read about the drill, bump and drop.

This is an excellent drill to work on your angles and know what they are and how they feel. And the neat part of this drill is that you will never get negative feedback as you will not be hitting any golf balls.

Happy now?

If there is a magic move it’s in this bump and drop move. Harvey Penick knew it and wrote about this exact move in his ” Little Red Book”

So let me be clear that I did not make this one up. Harvey did. Try it. It works.

Golf swing consistency relies on maintaining a consistent spine angle. What is a consistent spine angle, and how to you maintain it? Shoot lower scores more consistently with a better golf swing.

I will tell you right here and now that this is some very serious stuff. When we start comparing our golf swings to Tiger Woods we are really really going out there.

But, hey, so what!

If we can’t use one of the most classic swings on the earth to learn from, than we would be pretty limited in our thought process. Wouldn’t we?

I am toying with the idea of making this article a two or three part article for brevity purposes. Comparing our swings to Tiger’s, first requires that we understand what Tiger is doing.

Believe me, that is not an easy task. But,even though it’s not easy, it is doable.

Let’s take a look at Tiger’s grip.

Does your grip look like his?

His grip is neither strong or weak. It is about as neutral as you can get. Is your grip neutral? Chances are strong that your grip is on the weak side. And that when you look down at your grip you see one knuckle on your left hand (righties). And your right hand is more on top of the club than on the side or under.

This, of course, describes the grip of 90% of all golfers. And it is wrong. Tiger’s is correct, your grip is wrong. I apologize if you have a good grip and don’t mean to lump you in with those poor grippers.

Sorry!

For those of you who have read any of my musings, you know, by now, that my one pet peeve is a poor grip. You will not see a good golfer with a bad grip.

Almost never.

If you are an average person with average athletic abilities, a bad grip makes you a bad golfer.

Tiger Woods has an excellent golf grip. Is that a surprise? No, then a least let’s try to copy his grip. That should not be that hard since it requires absolutely no movement at all.

Left hand on the club with two knuckles showing, right hand on the club, exactly facing the left hand. Right hand a little on top is not a bad thing. Having it on the side ok. Having it under the club is not allowed. Try it!

The setup is the ignition of the golf swing. Think of it as the key to the engine. If the key doesn’t fit you will not get started or, if you do, the engine will skip and backfire.

Tiger’s set up is so perfect it is scary.

His balance is beautiful and his alignment is right on. Every single time he sets up. All PGA players are very very particular with their set up. Never are they lackadaisical in their set up.

This is a position that you all can do unless you have a bad back, or some other limited physical issue. You should look like Tiger, Great balance, back reasonable straight, knees bent over the top of your shoes. **** out and you are bent from the hips. Every part of your body is in alignment. And you are absolutely square to the target line. And last, but not least, your chin is not resting on your chest. It is up so that you have room under it to move your left shoulder into the backswing.

So far it is relatively easy to immolate Tiger. Don’t you think that almost every one could do this grip and set up thingy? If you say you can’t do it, I would have trouble believing you. It would probably be more like you won’t do it. Not can’t!

There is no doubt that as a golfer you will need extra discipline with the little things in the swing. But lets face it, if the best in the world thinks set and grip are so important that they make every effort to get it right every time, well, shouldn’t we also?

Now Tiger is ready for his first move away from the ball. This is one area that we will have trouble with. Us mortals. Tiger gets tremendous separation and extension of the club and arms on this move. He keeps the clubhead low and long and delays any wrist **** until very late in the back swing. All the while maintaining superb balance as he shifts his weight to his right side in preparation of the downswing.

He ” loads up” the right side better than anyone in the game. His club is on plane and is perfect to the top where he finally lets his right wrist get into the trayed position.

An incredible athletic move that few of us will be able to do with any regularity.

I want to take a minute and debunk this move as it sometime taught on our driving ranges across America and beyond.

First it is almost impossible for you to incorporate this move into your swing. Heck your having trouble with the grip and that requires no movement at all. So let’s all get real.

This long and low with big extension idea is not for us. It is more of a timing issue than anything else with the better player who does this. And, just so you know, fewer and fewer players are embracing this move.

Does it provide more power? No it doesn’t. Here is why. The power is always generated on the downswing, not on the takeaway. The problem exists when a golfer picks the club up early and fails to turn his shoulders. This picking up early is a common error. And it is usually accompanied by a severe bending of the left arm.

This is where the power drain is located. So to defend against this move. golf instruction has included the low and long idea. This, so the thought goes, prevents that early pickup and bending left arm. Does it? Sure it does. But no body except the most athletic can do it.

This low and long move almost always causes the weight to move too far over the right foot, outside the right foot and makes it impossible to get a decent weight shift if any shift at all.

Tiger can do it. You can’t.

But you can still get into the exact same or close to the same position on the backswing as Tiger and be in a powerful position to hit the ball.

Here is how. Push your right hand bent early in the move away. That is to create an angle between you right wrist and your right fore arm that is as close to 90 degrees as possible and then turn your shoulders so that you left shoulder goes under you chin. And do not collapse your left arm. Keep it straight but not stiff.

That’s it. I am going to make good on my threat to make this more than one part. This, I think is enough to absorb for one session.

Lesson over.
