Simplify Your Golf Swing Today


So many golfers needlessly complicate their golf swings with all kinds of extra moves, excess swing thoughts they pick up and stuff they've heard their buddies say. Most of the time, this just adds up to more shots from the rough and having to buy more golf balls if you actually stick with the game when things are going wrong. There's a better way to play: Simplify your swing. The two tips below will help you do just that in a very short time. Check them out.

Tip #1: Use general swing thoughts that can be repeated every time you're over the ball during a round to simplify your golf swing. Thoughts like "release the wrists" or "hit down on the ball" are kryptonite to golfer's swing because they're segmental thoughts that don't focus on your overall swing. Instead, try using swing thoughts like "slow back, accelerate through", "back, and go to finish" or "1, 2 & 3". These are thoughts you can apply right away and they'll actually have a positive effect. You can say general thoughts like these to yourself during practice swings and take them right on to the tee for the real shots right after your practice swings. Using these types of techniques will create more consistency in your game almost instantly which is sure to shave off strokes and get you playing better in a matter of days.

Tip#2: Forget the upper body to simplify your golf swing. All your power, grounding and stability comes from your lower body. The pros take full advantage of their lower bodies instead of letting their upper body try to take over their swing. You can do the same by taking a bit of tension out of your upper body joints so that they don't try to chase ahead of your lower body. This doesn't mean getting all loose and wobbly with your lower body, it just means you should become aware of the true timing of the movement which is coming from your vastly more powerful lower limbs first followed by your upper body limbs second. Get in touch with your hips at the start of your downswing and follow your body through to the finish of your swing where the insides of your knees should softly kiss, not knock out teeth.

These two tips will simplify your golf swing almost instantly. They're the kinds of golf tips that can actually be used by any golfer right away. Though they sound simple, they're very effective when you run into a tough shot or find your swing slipping away a bit.
