Golf Swing Tips - What Powers the Golf Swing?

Here is an excellant explanation of power in the golf swing by Paul Wilson.

Paul says:

In this video you'll find out where the power comes from in your golf swing. This is not like other golf tips that have you working on holding your lag angle or swinging as hard as you can as you're driving the ball.

This swing tip explains that the power isn't solely coming from the hands and arms. You have to also learn how to your body to power your swing. Once you do you will see that the combination of the whipping action from your hands and arms connected with the rotational speed of the body can produce shots with more power than you can imagine. 

I know there are people out there who think don't need your legs in your golf swing. In some instruction they try to prove their point by getting down on their knees and hitting a ball. In these golf tips they explain that they can hit great shots without using the lower body. This is true. You can hit good shots off your knees but you can hit better shots if you use your legs.

Although the hands and arms are responsible for creating the whipping action of the club, they have to be connected to something. This something is your body that is turning. Don't believe me? Try hitting a ball without turning your shoulders. If you did you couldn't hit it anywhere. So we have to turn our shoulders in the golf swing. If this is the case we should be trying to turn the shoulders as fast as we can. This is done by using your legs.

Golf Swig Tips- How To Get That Slow Easy Swing

Paul Wilson explains how to develop a smooth easy, yet powerful, golf swing.

More Golf Swing Tips: http://ignitiongolf.com.

In this golf lesson I show you how to get that smooth, powerful swing everyone marvels at. You know the one. It's that swing that looks like the person is barely swinging yet they hit it a mile and they seem to hit every fairway. Although it looks simple it does take a little effort and the right instruction.

Most people are confused when they see someone with this type of golf swing. They just can't figure out how they do it no matter how much golf instruction they have taken. If this is you, what you are missing is that the body is telling the arms how fast to come down.

In a good golf swing the body only rotates at approximately 2.5 mph. If the body doesn't turn very fast and it's telling the arms how fast to come down the overall swing would appear slow and effortless.

The power is generated through the club hinging and re-hinging in the wrists. The looser the wrists, the more clubhead speed that is generated. If you've ever had some golf instruction or lessons in the past you will have worked on your wrist hinge but in doing so you were most likely trying to hit the ball solely with your arms. This hitting tightens your wrists and actually slows the club down.

To get this easy look you need this looseness in the wrists and you get it by not trying to hit anything at all. In other words, you're just letting the arms go along for the ride.

Ben Hogan Golf Tips

Ben Hogan Golf Tips… there aren`t many, if any, golfers to learn the golf swing from than Ben Hogan.

Before we get to Golf Digest, here`s a video preview of the Ben Hogan golf swing…



Here is a link to a Golf Digest series outlining golf tips from Ben Hogan.

Ben Hogan Golf Tips

Ben Hogan's nine major championships speak for themselves, but he also had an authoritative voice when it came to golf instruction.


Hogan wrote two books on the golf swing -- "Power Golf" in 1948 and "Five Lessons" in 1957 -- that are still sought after by golfers of all levels. Known for his meticulous practice habits, Hogan constantly worked on trying to perfect his swing and these books were his outlet to share the knowledge he'd gained with the general public.


Along the way, Hogan's lessons were sporadically published in Golf Digest as well. Here, we look back at some of these gems that are just as applicable today as when he doled them out.

Golf Fat Shot Fix

Golf Fat Shot Fix... I would bet all of us have hit a fat golf shot and it usually comes up at the worst time. Would you like to know why and how to stop it?

Well, Dave Nevogt, author of "Simple Golf Swing", has written an article below on why we hit fat shots and how to fix it.

Here is Dave`s article...

Golf Fat Shot Fix

The cure for a fat shot...

This problem may be easier to fix than you think. You may not realize it, but your back shoulder may be dipping towards the ground. This move forces the club to hit the ground too early. Most of the time it happens when you are really trying to get into the ball. Imagine…You're 200 yards out and you've chosen to hit the 4 iron. When you've got it in your head that you have to hit the ball hard to get it there, it's natural tendency to start your downswing with the hips in an effort to "really get into the ball". That may work in baseball, but not in golf.

Golf Chipping Lessons-Ball Position

Golf Chipping Lessons-Ball Position... here`s Bobby Eldridge, head professional at PurePoint Golf, explaining the best chipping ball position.

Chipping : Setup - Ball Position

An article by: Bobby Eldridge

Ball is Equal

Too Far Forward

Too Far Back

Bottom of Ball

Clubhead Has to Swing Down Into Ground

Golf Chipping Lessons-Ball Position

Let's talk in more detail about Part Four-The golf ball is in the Center of your Stance at address. As you walk up to the golf ball and ground the clubhead now is the time to make sure the golf ball is centered in your stance. The golf ball is equal distance between both of your feet.(#1)

The clubhead has to find the bottom of the arc in the downswing. If the golf ball is too far forward in your stance you will risk a shallow swing which will cause you to hit up on the golf ball.(#2)

If the ball is too far back in your stance your swing would have to be too vertical and you could not get the golf ball in the air.(#3)

It does not matter what the lie is, the ball is still centered in your stance. If you have a bare lie, thick rough lie or even an uneven lie, the ball position stays the same, in the middle of your stance. Addressing the golf ball in the middle of your stance will allow the clubhead to find the bottom of the golf ball.(#4)

If you address the golf ball too far forward in your stance, you will have a tendency to pull your chip shots; the clubface will be aiming left at impact. If you address the golf ball too far back in your stance, you will have a tendency to push your chip shots; the clubface will be aiming right at impact.

What you are trying to do is find the bottom of the arc. The leading edge of the clubhead has to swing DOWN into the ground in the downswing. By placing the golf ball in the center of your stance, this will provide you the best opportunity to do this.(#5)

Golf Chipping Lessons-Ball Position... the main goal in setting up properly is to not hit a fat chip. We know that`s a score killer and makes you feel stupid. I hope this helps. Check out this PurePoint golf short game dvd below plus sign up for the series of golf tip videos.

Butch Harmon Golf Lesson...

here`s an excerpt from the Golf Digest article...

7 Things All Great Players Do Here's who you should copy—and how to do it

My time around great players started with my dad. He finished top 10 in 11 major championships and won the Masters in 1948. His closest friend was Ben Hogan. When they'd play practice rounds together, I'd tag along silently, asking a million questions afterward. My clearest memory of Mr. Hogan is how he could control his ball. He always left it in the right place, even when he missed. And he could control it through the air like nobody--high, low, draw, fade. It was incredible to watch. One day my dad asked me to play with him and Mr. Hogan. By then I was a know-it-all teenager, and I got all the way to the first tee before my nerves took over. I remember standing over that first shot: I was wearing a visor, and on my last look down the fairway I saw a pair of golf shoes out of the corner of my left eye. Mr. Hogan's shoes. All those years watching him, and now he was watching me. I flared it right and didn't settle down until he threw his arm around me a few holes later. Great players have a huge effect on us, because they excel at something we love to do. Here I'll show you what I've learned from some of the top players I've coached. Some are things we worked on together; others, just like Mr. Hogan's ball control, are things I simply marveled at. I'm sure these lessons can help you play better.

Golf Swing Tension Free

Golf Swing Tension Free... here`s a golf tip from Golf Swing Speed Challenge to help us keep the tension out of our golf swings and increase our distance greatly.

Golf Swing Tension Free

Here’s A Simple Drill To Reduce Golf Swing Tension (so you hit the ball further!

Does this sound like you?… You feel a lot of tension in your golf swing and you try to tell yourself to relax but the harder you try to do this the more tense you become.

If this does sounds like you the first piece of advice is to not “try.” Why?

Because trying creates tension in your golf swing so cut that “trying” out first because it’s costing you distance and accuracy.

Next you should go out to your driving range and simply hit balls while humming quietly to yourself. When you’re doing this focus on your humming and notice if it stops or changes pitch at any time during your golf swing.

Just keep hitting balls focusing on your humming with the goal of swinging without the hum changing pitch or volume from the moment you start swinging to the end of your golf swing. But please don’t “try” to achieve this.

Simply keep swinging and focusing on your humming, and soon without you noticing the “whys” or “hows” your golf swing will become more rhythmical and less tense. Once your golf swing is more in tune with your natural rhythm you want to keep it that way. Do this by having a few golf swings each day while quietly humming to yourself.

Doing this will help you to have a golf swing with less tension and consequently you’ll hit the ball further and more consistently.

Golf Swing Analysis

Golf Swing Analysis... here is a golf tip from golf instructor Peter Norwood. It`s simple yet so true.

Peter suggests that we "play golf" not "play golf swing". He is so right. Most us get so rapped up in the golf swing analysis that we forget what we are actually doing.

Below is Peter`s bio plus an excerpt from his play golf vs play golf swing article.

Peter Norwood has developed one of the strongest teaching backgrounds in the country. Peter traveled the United States for a decade working and learning under many of the best instructors in the world. Peter developed his knowledge for the game of golf in the same manner as other experts develop knowledge in their fields. His knowledge comes from learning under top experts in his field and from years researching and studying top golfers.

Golf Swing Analysis?

Many individuals becoming so immersed in technique I would describe them as playing golf swing instead of playing golf. Let me stress one point right off the bat, great golf scores are shot by playing golf, not by playing golf swing. Remember this, don’t ever forget it. Golf is scored by getting the golf ball in the hole in the fewest strokes possible; it is not scored by how beautiful your technique appears. It is not Olympic aerobics. It is golf. Swing thoughts are thoughts in golfers’ minds while making golf swings. These thoughts vary among golfers; vary in the type of thought, the complexity of thought, and the number of thoughts. I never know what is going to come from golfers’ mouths when I ask them, “What are you currently thinking about when hitting shots?” I have heard golfers say anything from “absolutely nothing” to rattling off 4 or 5 of technical thoughts at once. Before I say anything else, let me reiterate this point, great golf scores are shot by golfers playing golf, not playing golf swing. The best golfers use simple and basic feels, but I assure you, complex thoughts are rare among the world’s best. It is even better on the course to have zero thoughts about the swing, playing using simple visualizations and feels, and embracing your tendencies on that particular day. This being said, there will be times when a swing thought is necessary, this is also a part of golf.

Hank Haney-When To Hit A Fade

Hank Haney-When To Hit A Fade... learn the shot to hit when you "must" hit a fairway.

As an aside, here`s what wikipedia says about Hank Haney...

Hank Haney (born August 24, 1955) is an American professional golf instructor best known for coaching Tiger Woods[1] and two-time major championship winner Mark O'Meara. A graduate of the University of Tulsa, Haney owns and operates four teaching facilities in the Dallas, Texas area. Haney says, "My philosophy as a teacher is to teach my students to become their own best teacher by getting them to understand the flight of the golf ball and how it relates to the swing, with emphasis on swinging the golf club on their own correct swing plane"

Getting back to the fade. I totally agree that it`s the best and or easiest way to hit a fairway. You may not get the full distance but you will be playing from the fairway. Here`s an excerpt from Hank Haney`s Golf Digest article...

Hank Haney-When To Hit A Fade

The no. 1 goal off the tee is putting the ball in play. And probably the easiest shot to control with a driver is a fade because the ball doesn't roll as far. The most important thing to know about playing a controlled fade is that the clubface must be slightly open to the swing path at impact. When you're playing a fade, the timing of the swing is the real key. If your hands and arms outrace your body through impact, the clubface tends to close too fast, causing the ball to hook. Feel that your body--and in particular your hips--are leading the clubhead through the shot (left). The faster you turn your body through, the less chance the face will close too much.

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips... learn how to avoid the dreaded "chili dip".

David explains how the pitch shot should be the same as the full swing. You must accelerate all the way through the pitch shot. Here is an excerpt from David`s advice.

First, if you are not familiar with David, here`s a Wikipedia introduction

David Leadbetter (born 27 June 1952) is a leading golf instructor, originally from Worthing in England. He began his career on the European and Southern African tours, but had little success as a player. Having an interest in the techniques, mechanics and psychology of the sport he soon moved into instruction and came to wide notice in the 1980s when he rebuilt the swing of Nick Faldo, who then went on to win six major championships.

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips

Whether it's a short chip or a long drive, you have to accelerate the clubhead through impact on all golf shots. It's an essential fundamental. Unfortunately, many amateurs fail to do this with their pitch shots, resulting in too much movement of the arms and upper body as they try to scoop the ball into the air (above, left). The pitching motion, even for a short pitch, should be fairly concise, though you accelerate through the strike. A good feeling from a fairly narrow stance is to put the breaks on with the body and arms just past impact. That snaps the clubhead through the hitting area like you're whipping a towel. So, shorten up your follow-through but keep the clubhead accelerating past impact (above, bottom). Your pitches will improve dramatically.

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips... pretty simple abvice... makes sense. He taught two of the best ever in Greg Norman and Nick Faldo. It`s always good to go back to the basics and take in a good reminder!

My personal favorite is the Bridgestone E5. You can buy the E5 for about $25 per dozen. The E5 has the same playability cover, urethane, as the ProV1. Plus, it helps with launch for the moderate swing speeds. In summary, the E5 won`t break your bank, it will stop on the green for full shots or chips and the average golfer will be helped with getting the ball airborne. I hope the golf ball review 2012 helped!

Moe Norman Golf Instruction Review

 Moe Norman golf instruction review... learn how to hit the golf ball dead straight!

Here`s what is said about Moe Norman in wikipedia...

Murray Irwin "Moe" Norman (July 10, 1929 – September 4, 2004) was a Canadian professional golfer. He was widely considered the best ball striker who ever lived. His accuracy, his ability to hit shot after shot perfectly straight, gave him the nickname "pipeline moe".

Moe Norman golf instruction review... here`s a video of Moe`s golf swing. As you will see it is very different but got great results.

Moe Norman Golf Instruction Review

 

Here are some Moe Norman golf instruction tips from a Golf Digest article...

Below are some of Moe's gems for hitting the ball with accuracy.

"Quiet hands through the swing. 'Fingers are fast, fingers are fast, palms are calm, palms are calm.' Moe said to hold the club in the palms of your hands, not in the fingers.

"Wide stance. He [keeps] his feet on the ground as long as possible, thereby ensuring the clubhead will travel as far along the line as possible and not turn over. Moe wants the sensation of the ball on the clubhead all the way through impact. His feet roll, but they do not lift." Schiffman's note: This reminds me of what Jack Grout taught a young Jack Nicklaus. For the first year of Nicklaus' golfing life, Grout had him roll his ankles back and through. Only later did he lift his left heel off the ground.

"Ball position. Moe plays the ball off his left heel because he's thinking of tearing through it and down the target line. He puts the club 14 inches behind the ball.

"Downswing. Moe begins his downswing with a move of his left knee forward, still keeping his feet flat on the ground. His arms drop into the 'slot,' all of 21 inches, as Moe says. His knees separate as his left knee moves forward. He appears to be squatting slightly to the ball, as Sam Snead did. At the same time, he has created clubhead lag. "Impact. Moe creates an extremely long 'flat spot' at the bottom of his swing. Moe feels his hands are still square to the target 22 inches past the ball."

Classic Golf Tips

Here is some very good advice when talking about classic golf tips from Jack Moorehouse creator of  "How To Break 80".

Jack has a point. I think a famous golf instructor once said something to the effect to not take the whole aspirin bottle when one or two will do just fine.

Here`s Jack`s broader point...

Classic Golf Tips

Don’t Overdo These Four Classic Golf Tips

Golf tips become classics for a reason. They provide an especially good way of capturing a key fundamental, whether it’s a swing adjustment or a course management tip. A classic tip that many golfers follow is “Don’t aim into trouble.” Aiming away from trouble saves strokes. Keeping these classic golf tips in mind when you practice or play is good for your game and your golf handicap. But sometimes we overdo them. When we do, it leads to trouble. It can also lead to back pain. So you need to be careful with them. Below we dis-cuss four classic golf tips that taken too far cause trouble.

Keep Your Head Still

This is probably the most popular of all “overdone” golf tips. This advice is generally given to players who pull up and top the ball. While you hear it a lot from players on the course, you don’t hear it in golf lessons. Why—because taken too far it’s bad advice. Keeping your head locked in place stops the body from turning toward the target. That in turn creates a cramped space for the arms on the follow through, spelling trouble. Instead, release your chin, sternum, and hips together. It’s a good thought going back, but after that forget it.

Turn Your Shoulders Not Your Hips

This common overdone tip is based on the idea that the more torque you create the farther you hit the ball. This idea is partly true. Based on our observations during our golf in-struction session, few golfers can complete a full torso turn while limiting hip turn. The rest of us just aren’t flexible enough. We can turn about 70 percent, and that’s it. If you want extra distance, you’re better off freeing your hips so you can turn your shoulders more. Like all the other golf tips discussed in this article, taken too far this advice leads to trouble.

Keep Your Legs Still On Chips

You want to keep your knees still when chipping. But the thought of doing that can “freeze” you, causing you to mishit your chip. When you rely only on your hands to swing the club during a chip, you create a jerky motion that can lead to tons of missed chips. Every shot you make requires synchronization between the upper half of your body and the lower. Instead of keeping your hips still during your swing, let your hips rotate back slightly at the start, then rotate forward to allow your knees to face the target, just the way they teach it in golf instruction sessions. (Check our video gallery for a golf les-son on the fundamentals of chipping.)

Keep Your Head Down During The Swing

Keeping your head down during the swing has been blamed for numerous golf swing problems. This tip from PurePointGolf.com shows you why keeping your chin UP is more important than keeping your head down.

Improve Golf Swing-Tee Height

Learn how to improve your golf swing with this golf swing tip about the proper golf tee height from Bobby Eldridge from PurePoint Golf Academy.

Bobby says... two minutes from now I’m going to have an answer for all of you on how high you should be teeing your tee shots so you can improve your swing. The new drivers that have come out in the last 5, 10 years have what is referred to as a deep face.

From the bottom to the top it’s about two or more inches. Most players associate all of that space with teeing the golf ball high. We even have three-inch tees now.

So, that isn’t true. You don’t need that. Some of you might, but most of you don’t.

So, here’s my rule of thumb for how high should you tee the driver: If the mistake you make is that you constantly top the golf ball, that isn’t always the answer. You could fix your posture and bend over a little bit and that would fix topping the golf ball.

If you always hit underneath the golf ball, this isn’t always the answer, where you tee it down so low. Maybe you simply need to get your chin up.

So, a great rule of thumb is that the golf ball should be slightly higher than the center of the club face.

Choosing The Best Golf Balls

Would you like some help with choosing the best golf balls for your golf game?

This golf tip is from Dave Nevogt, "The Simple Golf Swing", and will help you with choosing the best golf ball for your game and for the right price!

Dave is recommending the Srixon AD 333. You can get them for about $20 per dozen, and he finds that they perform much better than other balls in that price range. If you want to upgrade, look into the Srixon UR-X. Srixon makes the best balls available today, and many of the tour players (Vijay Singh, Jim Furuk, Robert Allenby, Henrik Stenson, Karrie Webb, Laura Davies, Boo Weekly and more) use them.

They are top notch, and if you haven't tried them, you'll be very pleasantly surprised with their performance. The UR-X is very comparable to the Titleist Pro V1.

Approach Shots In Golf

Here is a golf lesson  on approach shots in golf from Dave Nevogt of "Simple Golf Swing".

This lesson is entitled "Approach Shots: What it takes to Master Them."

Basically, your approach shot is your shot onto the green. One of the things I like to say is this, "You know your game is improving when you start fixing more ball marks on the green" - most likely meaning that you hit it on your approach, which is your objective.

Here are a couple of tips to keep in mind, and then we'll get to the heart of this article.

Proper Set Up In Using The Golf Driver

Here is a quick golfing tip on the proper set up in using the golf driver from to teaching pro Bobby Eldridge. Bobby teaches "The Simple Golf Swing".

Let`s listen to Bobby...
   
I often see a number of amateurs prepare for their driver golf swing by walking up, after they have teed the ball up, they just take a step back and they address it. They grip the golf club and they address it, and they sort of just plot their feet down wherever they land, but let me tell you the proper way.

Golf Swing Tips

Here are some great golf swing tips regarding the golf stance... from Bobby Eldridge... head pro at PurePoint Golf  reviewing stance and ball flight... plus golf grip instruction.

Here`s Bobby...

I’m going to talk with you about how to draw the golf ball, hook the golf ball, or fade or slice the golf ball on purpose.

That way, the next time you go play, if you have a dogleg right or a dogleg left, or the wind’s blowing from the left or wind’s blowing from the right, you’ll be able to curve the golf ball that will be beneficial towards you.
