Learn To Swing Inside Out
The average golfer tends to pull the golf ball. When this occurs the golfers you are swinging over the top and your body will be either straight up and down at impact or even facing forward.
Better players tend to be leaning back at contact which allows the club to attack from the inside. Why? They are using their legs and hips to hit the golf ball and when they fire the lower body the upper body tends to hang back.
This is what gets the inside out swing path to hit the golf ball straight.
Start thinking about your upper body and which direction it goes when hitting golf balls. Start to lean it back slightly and you can cure a pull in a couple swings. Keep doing this drill as much as possible and in not time you will swing from the inside.
Try this the next time you go out to hit golf balls. If you’re at home start doing this drill in practice swings every night.
SIMPLE GOLF SWING TEMPO AND TIMING DRILL
Having a great swing technique is a very important factor for being in good control of the golf ball but unless you have a good tempo and timing when you perform that swing you will never be as consistent as you could be. If you look at the really consistent golfers over the years, players such as Ernie Els and Luke Donald, you can see how their tempo and timing has been such a crucial contributing factor to their success.
Developing the correct Tempo and Timing in your golf swing
To get the correct tempo and timing in your golf swing you need two things to take place. Firstly you need to be able to start the swing with the correct synchronization and secondly you need to have a good awareness of where the club head is as you are swinging. The correct way to start the swing is by letting the golf club go first by hinging the right wrist, then allow the arms and the body to be pulled by the club. Once the swing is in motion a great way to develop awareness of where the golf club is is by saying to yourself or a friend 1 when the club head reaches the top of the backswing and 2, when the club impacts the ball. This will help you to get the club and body working in the correct synchronization with each other.
