How To Improve Golf Swing Rhythm and Tempo

Jeff Ritter shares a challenging practice tip to help improve golf swing rhythm, control and ball striking efficiency.

One of the biggest differences between recreational golfers and the pros on the PGA or LPGA Tour is the ability professionals have to exhibit a higher level of control over their golf swings. This control is not only a component of the mechanics associated with producing various shot shapes, but also the speed at which each golf swing is made.

Professional golfers are rarely playing at full speed. Instead they have a zone which allows them to exhibit their best rhythm and tempo, while producing a reasonable combination of distance and accuracy. They have a high level of body awareness and can adjust speed or movement of their golf swing to meet any situation. Recreational golfers, however, always seem to be locked in at full throttle, possessing relatively low body awareness and a constant “go for broke” mentality.

Pitching From Tight Lies – Short Game Tips

Pitching off firm, tight lies can magnify even the slightest bit of leading edge as the club approaches the golf ball. Hitting a successful pitch from that lie can be difficult for golfers at every skill level.

As Scott Hamilton demonstrates in this video, the ticket can be in how position the club shaft at the start of the down swing. We see so many golfers trying to play this shot from a “hands in, club out” position. The problem with that is it virtually eliminates you chance of using enough bounce, and pretty much guarantees you’ll be coming into the ball with that sharp leading edge leading the parade.

If this shot has been a tough one for you to play consistently… get yourself a small wooden dowel and give what Scott is describing a try. Hopefully you’ll start pitching it closer to the hole! Let us know how it works for you.
