I'm going to give you some great golf backswing advice that's going to help you a lot. There are two mistakes that you can make in the backswing. And then I'm going to tell you the correct way to do it.
The first mistake is, if your shoulder doesn't move and doesn't turn backwards, then your arms will run into it and the shoulder will tilt up in the air. And if you do that, the golf swing will look too vertical, and you'll hit the ground and you'll hit a lot of shots off to the right.
On the other hand, some of you think so much of turning that you turn your right shoulder and your hips together, and the golf club gets way around inside.
So, for those of you that do this, you'll wind up hitting a lot of tops because the club won't swing back down.
So, let me give you some golf backswing advice. This is the correct way. After you've addressed the golf ball, the right shoulder starts turning backwards. And that way, this enables the golf club to swing up on the correct plane.
So, if you can move your shoulder out of the way and don't turn your bottom much, the golf club will move up on plane as you turn away from the golf ball.
Now, I'm going to tell you the role that the knees play during the entire golf swing. The correct posture in golf, in order to improve your golf swing, is that you bend at your hips, over the bones that are on both sides of your hips.
We don't sit in this sport. We have our knees slightly flexed, and then we bend from the hips.
In the golf swing, the knees never ever get straight in the backswing. They stay flexed the entire way.
The game of golf starts and ends right here. Good players play the sport from inside the right knee as they turn. It doesn't go out and it doesn't go straight. But it stays where it was at the beginning of the backswing, so as we start back the knees don't move.
Now, the downswing: As the arms start to unwind the knees don't move at all. The centrifugal force, the speed of the golf club swings into the ground.
As the club passes you and your left hip starts to move out of the way, then, and only then, does the right knee start to get straighter in the downswing after impact.
And the entire time, make sure that you don't lock your left knee in the downswing. Keep it slightly flexed as you swing through. You don't have to come all the way up and straighten it up.
I think that that might help you improve your golf swing. Think about this tip a couple of times and make sure that this is what you're thinking of when you swing the golf club, in relation to your knees.
And thanks. |
