All pro golfers will tell you that delivering the ball with maximum speed, accuracy and distance means putting your whole body into the swing. Most beginners think this is accomplished by using just the arms, wrist and hands. It may seem foreign to you at first, but concentrate on putting your entire body into the swing, including your legs and torso. Practice this regularly and you'll see your golf swing improve quickly.
Your shoulders should swivel perfectly each time you move into the back swing. Your right forearm needs to be parallel to your spine. Keep your left wrist flat to hit the ball squarely. Done correctly, your elbows and arms will form a triangle. At the top of the back swing, maintaining this position will help you deliver a solid, accurate shot every time.
Most amateurs have trouble making a solid hit for 2 reasons. First, correct pivoting of the wrist is done too late in the back swing because the takeaway is too low to the ground. Secondly, the golfer thinks that the power in the swing is generated through the arms, wrist and hands, and their posture reflects this thinking. A little correction to address both these points will improve the swing tremendously. First make sure your left arm and shaft of the club shaft form a 45 degree angle. Makes sure your hands are as close to the ground as possible in the takeaway, while at the same time moving the club upwards rapidly. Your left arm should be parallel to the ground and the shaft of the club is perpendicular to it. This should prevent bad posture in the swing.
4. Golf is an outdoor game, so it's best of you are able to practice chipping outdoors. However, one is tempted to hit chips indoors from time to time. You can perfect your chipping with the help of a wooden rod or a busted club shaft. Get the hang of your chipping technique - just make sure that your left wrist remains solid as the club passes through the area of impact. The rod or shaft you are using will hit your left side should your left wrist give way during the impact. Practice is the key to mastering your chipping.
5. From time to time, even pro golfers get caught red handed losing flex in their back legs as they try for distance. Inconsistent swings constantly take the success out of any game of golf. It's best if you can view your posture in a full-length mirror when you practice your swings from time to time. Start with the setup position, hold it then look at the mirror. Do the backswing, hold it and observe your posture. This will help you determine your postural flaws during your golf swing.
