All golfers want that perfect golf swing that they can always rely on. It is a swing that can be used effectively with either a wood or iron. You can tee off and drive with it, adapting to changes in wind and terrain. It is a swing that can get you out of bad situations like bunkers and even water. It is a swing that is as simple as it can get, yet can be versatile and dependable.

That isn’t happening though if your swing has slice.

Perfecting that golf swing definitely isn’t easy, no matter how you look at it. It takes a lot of experimentation and practice to get the kinks out of the swing. However, the real fact about this is that it is actually simpler than you think. It is mostly about what you do during your swing.

Simplify

One tip that always works is to always keep your swing simple. With as few movements as possible, you can take away unnecessary movements that may be both a waste of energy and bad for your swing. There is no real need for your elbows to bend during the swing and you have to only pivot with your feet as you follow through. There is no need to take an extra step or anything, which can skew with the shot.

Rhythm

Of course, if you can’t improve by yourself, then get a coach who can teach you the finer points of improving your golf swing. Balance and correct positioning are crucial to a good golf swing. However, without rhythm, you can never achieve these two things. You are to ensure that you can have a smooth rhythm in your swing to fix whatever you need to fix. You can hum a tune, sing a song, count, or do whatever is necessary to get a rhythm down to swing correctly.

Hand and Wrist Position

Another tip is to always mind hand and wrist position. One of the major causes of slicing is that the club is twisted during the swing, which makes it hit the ball in a crooked manner, driving it in directions other than straight ahead. This is due to the hands and wrists twisting during the swing because of wrong positioning. The technique must be refined in order to correct this mistake.

Interlocking your hands by connecting the little and ring finger of your dominant hand with the index and middle finger of your complementary hand (never call that other hand ‘weak’) to solve this problem. This can help you prevent that unnecessary twist with a little practice. It can also help you improve in terms of accuracy and distance.

Straighten Your Spine

Always have your spine straight and acting as an axis for your swing. The importance of spine alignment can never be understated when it comes to golf. Imagine yourself as a pendulum with your spine as the point of axis. This can help you simplify your golf swing in a great deal.

Hip Rotation

With that spine straight and fingers interlocked, you must also remove excess hip rotation in your golf swing. While lots of hip rotation is something that can make a punch stronger, this is not boxing. In golf, that hip rotation causes slicing, and that can damage your game. Therefore, you must keep hip rotation as minimum as it is required. However, don’t mistake this for removing hip rotation in your swing as it is still required to generate power in your swing.

Therefore, study how much hip rotation is needed to improve your swing. These tips, along with lots of practice, can help you remove that slice and achieve distance and accuracy in your golf swing.

When you play golf, are you tense?? Do you have trouble relaxing and concentrating on hitting the ball?? You are not alone if you have these issues.

It can be really hard to relax when you are out with your golfing buddies.? If you really screw up a shot, you will never hear the end of it.? They will still be talking about it 20 years from now!?

Relaxing is something that most everyone needs to work on.? It isn?t easy to relax and the more you think about relaxing, the more tense you get.? You can go out to your backyard or anywhere that you can have privacy and practice swinging. ?Remind yourself to relax and breathe as you swing.? If you are actually able to relax, you will notice that your balance will improve as well.? Since your balance is the most basic foundation of your golf swing, you will find that the more you practice, the more it will improve.? You can practice improving your balance by assuming the address position with your club, relaxing your body and trying to hold it there for around 30 seconds. Are you balancing on both feet equally or are you placing more weight on one foot or the other? Are you tensing up one part of your body more than the rest? ?

Have you tried to practice relaxing but it didn?t work?? The bottom line is that if you can?t relax, your balance will be off and so will your swing.

If you want to try something different to improve your golf game, you can try another method that that has been found to work even better than going to the golf course to practice is to use mental golf training in the comfort of your own home.? It has been found to be 5-6 times more efficient than practicing on the driving range. The mental golf training technique is something that Tiger and the top tour players used to become the successful players they are. Tiger is said to use subliminal affirmations ever since he was 13.?

This type of system works by using subliminal affirmations combined with brain wave states and relaxation techniques. ?The purpose of this technique is to go straight into your unconscious mind by bypassing your conscious mind. The unconscious is the part of the mind that controls our habits and behavior.? The brain picks up any messages that get through to it, and immediately uses them to build new thought patterns and behaviors. The complex movements of the golf swing will become a natural habit as driving a car. Once your unconscious is trained your golf game will work on autopilot without thinking.

Using this method will greatly improve your golf game and you can use it as few as three times a week.? Typically this type of system uses relaxing music to sooth your mind and allow it to be more receptive to the subliminal messages.? If you use it consistently, you can easily catapult your golf game to the next level.

This is not a new concept but it isn?t commonly used.? But it is something you should seriously consider adding to your training arsenal.? Your golfing buddies will wonder how you have improved your game so quickly and will very likely accuse you of hiring a personal coach! ?

Lee Trevino certainly didn’t take the traditional route to becoming a great PGA Tour Golfer. The “Merry Mex” did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth so he had to learn golf the hard way…Lee Trevino found his swing in the Mexican dirt with long and hard practice sessions.

Lee certainly has a great understanding of the golf swing. His golf swing is far from classic as he reroutes his golf club on the way down…not a conventional golf swing to say the least. One thing Lee Trevino understands very well is how the golf ball responds to the club face at impact….which is the only thing the golf ball cares about. Do you think the golf ball cares about how your swing looks? All it knows is what is happening at impact.

When I finally figured out what Lee Trevino was talking about it made a tremendous impact on how solidly I began to strike the ball. I know this is a clich?nd you probably have heard it a million times, you must hit down on the golf ball to make it go up! Do you know what is really happening when a golf ball is well struck at impact? It took me 8 years before I figured this out…and it was Lee who finally explained it to me.

For some reason most recreational golfers feel they need to help the golf ball go up by flipping their hands at impact…if there ever was a move in the golf swing that robs you of power, this is it. Lee Trevino says the key to making solid contact with the golf ball is to visualize the club face as being the back of your left hand as you swing the club. On the down swing he imagines “trapping” the back of his left hand into the back of the ball…an incredibly powerful move that keeps the golf club at a right angle with the left arm deep into the downswing. “Hit the back of the ball with the back of the left hand” is Lee’s mantra. World famous golf swing guru Butch Harmon says he likes to feel like he has Bethlehem Steel in his left wrist at impact.

So what happens to the golf ball at impact when it is struck correctly? When you swing down on the ball at impact the golf ball actually spins up the club face to the top grooves. This is what the grooves in the club face are for…this is what gives the golf ball spin. How do you think pro golfers stop the ball on a dime on the green? They are using more of the grooves on the club face than amateurs. Golfers who flip the club face at impact are only utilizing the bottom grooves on the club face…the result; a weak, flat trajectory with little spin…Their left wrist has completely broken down at impact.

Watch the golf pros left wrist at impact…most of them have a bowed left wrist at impact…the opposite of the golfers who flip at the ball where the left wrist has broken down. This bowed left wrist allows a late powerful release into the golf ball…the secret to tremendous power off the tee. Next time you go to the range, think “Back of Left Wrist Into Back of Ball” as you start your downswing. This mental image forces you to swing from the inside and retain the release deep into the downswing. You will notice your golf ball has a much more flatter, penetrating ball flight. Your golf ball will have a higher trajectory and it will go a lot further.

Try it…it works!

Hit ‘em Long and Straight!

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple process of tapping the body in specific areas much like an acupuncturist would stick needles into you to relieve pain. The difference being EFT is using acupressure on several specific areas and combing that with some verbal statements to create the change.

Although the creator of EFT; Gary Craig, has been teaching people the process for over a decade it has only now begun to show up in the sports field.

I have played some six 18 hole rounds of golf since the EFT approach was started. It seems there has been a 33% reduction in my handicap due to the EFT Techniques. Says Steve Sayre His whole story and slew of others can be found on Gary Craig’s main site emofree.com

http://www.Birthdaygiftgolf.com also provides Gary’s free E-Book describing the whole EFT process as well as several descriptions of the actual words one may use while attempting EFT out on the Golf Course
Another major impediment to improving one’s golf score?and for some it is the biggest one?is their golf “comfort zone.” Ask any experienced golfer what they shoot and they will say something like, “I shoot in the mid-80′s.” That tends to define their comfort zone. It is a mental set. It is where they “belong.”
There are many different EFT approaches to golf. Some golfers will improve their score just by doing some generalized tapping before the game. Others will need to tap frequently throughout their round. Some may need to tap on some very specific areas such as…
?”this feeling in my chest when I Tee off”
?”this inability to focus on my putts”
?”this anger I feel for blowing that last hole”
?”this self doubt when I’m putting”
Interestingly, if you follow most golfers around you discover that they know how to shoot every shot perfectly. They have, for example, hit the perfect drive on countless occasions. They have also hit the perfect 5 iron, made the perfect 5 foot putt and so on it goes. They have the experience and ability to shoot 5 strokes better (low-70′s) than what they are doing. But they don’t. They tend to stay in the mid-80′s. and that’s the Comfort Zone
Comfort zones are very powerful things. We all have them. If not for golf, then for our income and our social status and our ability to dance and our educational level. For the professional and weekend golfer alike, you might wish to include some “comfort zone breaking” EFT routines. This is essential for many golfers if their improvement is going to last. They need to establish a new comfort zone. Try these….
?”Even though breaking ____ seems out of reach….”
?”Even though I fear having a lower handicap because I will have to maintain it…”
?”Even though someone my age is not likely to shoot below______….”
http://www.Birthdaygiftgolf.com website owner Tony Rathstone author of Golf’s Secret Weapon says, establishing new comfort zones for golfers with EFT may well be the simplest process to be brought to the golf course in at least a century.
