3 Golf Swing Tips That Will Make All the Difference in Your Golf Swing 

Have you hit a plateau in your golf game? You’re hitting the driving range and golf course every weekend, maybe even practicing at home, but your scores never change.

Even if you don’t care much about besting your buddies, we all want to best ourselves. We want to see clear improvement and know that our hard work is paying off. If you’re stuck in a rut, it’s not because you’ve reached your full potential. More likely, there’s some small error in your golf swing that’s holding you back.

I’m going to share three swing tips that are proven to help you play better golf

These concepts cover three different stages of your swing:

Takeaway

Transition

Finish

You may not need all three, but odds are at least one of these tips will illuminate an error you didn’t realize you were making.

The Takeaway

One neglected aspect of the takeaway is the relationship between the hands and the clubhead. In fact, it’s far more common to worry about the direction the club swings on the takeaway. You may even have received advice on this or heard theories on whether it’s best to swing the club more outside or more inside.

However, if you watch the best players in the world, you’ll notice that there isn’t much consistency when it comes to club direction. Some golfers swing way inside, some swing way outside, and many fall somewhere in between.

Meanwhile, they’re all making incredible shots and taking home trophies. So, here’s a theory: maybe the direction of the club isn’t the real issue. If you watch these same players, you’ll notice there is one thing that remains consistent no matter which direction they guide they club:

They always keep the clubhead outside of the hands. To clarify, when we talk about keeping the clubhead outside of the hands, we mean the clubhead is just slightly farther out from the body than the hands are. If the clubhead passes through the plane of your hands and closer towards the body, the clubhead is now inside.

We often get questions on how to work on Face Control, so we did a more in depth video on key putting concepts and some drills on how to work on face control.

Common Putting Mistakes in Golf: How close are you to consistently making more putts from 6 feet and in?

The average Tour Professional has only about a 50% chance of making a given putt from 10 feet and in; so how close is a given putt to consistently going in and usually lipping out and missing at 6 feet? The difference between the two may surprise you.

How close should you stand to the golf ball?

It might sound trivial, but mistakes here can have disastrous consequences on your golf swing. Standing too close or too far from the golf ball can inhibit your rotation, cost you distance, and lead to poor or inconsistent contact.

In this video Zach will show you a simple rule of thumb that will help you stand the perfect distance from the golf ball, every time.

This tip explains the golf weight shift throughout the whole swing.

This is vital in developing power and consistency in your shots. If you make a mistake here you will be in a position where you will be trying to hit the ball solely with your arms. If this occurs you will lose power and and consistency due to the wrists tightening and clubface manipulation.

The proper golf weight shift starts at address. Once evenly distributed you load into the back leg so you can build a powerful downswing. All sorts of problems arise when there is not enough weight loaded on this back foot at the top so make sure you are practicing this half of the swing first.

Once you learn the golf weight shift into the backswing it’s time to learn the correct weight transfer into the down and through swing and into the follow through. There is definitely a lot to learn so take your time and focus on the proper distribution throughout your swing.

This is the second video focusing on the trail arm and how it should move through the golf swing. The first video covered the backswing and now this follow up video takes you through the downswing and how vitally important the trail arm is to good golf shots.

If you struggle with strike, curve or distance there is a very good chance your trail arm isn’t working as well as it could, but improving this movement can see you improve all of those areas.
