People will do just about anything to improve their game of golf. They spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars buying lots of golf swing training aids or the best golf equipments out there just to shave off a few strokes. Unfortunately, it just is not that easy.

The golf swing is a very delicate motion. If you try to force it you'll shank, hook, or just simply not hit the ball. To hit the golf ball correctly, there are 3 important fundamentals you must know before the understanding the technicality of a golf swing.

Fundamental # 1 – Balance . You must remain balanced at ALL times during your swing, meaning from your address position to your finishing pose. If you lose your balance during your swing, chances are that you're swinging too hard! Remember, hitting the golf ball far is not about strength, but using the proper techniques and tempo.

Fundamental # 2 – Tempo . A good swing must have the right rhythm and tempo. The tempo is the transition from the speed of your upswing to your downswing. Everyone must establish their own tempo, some players have fast tempo like Tom Watson and some have a slower tempo like Ernie Els. A slower tempo does not mean shift distance. Take a look at Ernie Els. His nickname is "The Big Easy" because he swings so easy, but yet he hits so far! The key thing to remember about finding the right rhythm is to never rush the swing.

Fundamental # 3 – Stay relaxed . All good golf trainers will tell you to stay relaxed. Never tense up your body! Like how a 100m sprinter would not tense up their legs during the race, you would not tense up your body during your swing. You want a smooth motion, not a robotic and stiff golf swing. Staying relaxed is also directly related to the strength of your grip. If you're tense, chances are that you're gripping the club too tight. The perfect grip strength should be at around 3 on a scale of 1 – 10, 10 being the strongest. This means that you should be holding the club fairly comfortable and relaxed.

Before you try to get into the technical stuff in a golf swing, you must understand these important fundamentals. So the next time you practice your golf swing, remember the tips from Golf Swing Trainers. Stay relaxed, remain balanced, and establish the right tempo! Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect!
