How to play great swings in golf

Most golfers inaccurately hold the golf club too loosely in their fingers and too firm in their arms. This may result into poor control of the club and the golfers have to use too many muscles in the swing.

Don’t forget to hold the club firmly in your fingers, if you wish to play a good swing. Think a cup of coffee is on the table in front of you and you try to pick it up with loose grip of your fingers but your firm arms. What would be the result? Most likely, you will drop it. The same principle of control applies on the golf club.

To know how to play a proper pull comes after you learn to hold your club properly. Don’t try to pull too quickly and from the elbow or shoulder, which may create a resultant strain on your arm and your torso. You need to strengthen your fingers and try to swing the golf club smoothly while having stiff control in the fingers. In this manner, you will attain a streamline motion and will set the ball to roll down to its destination. This way you will also be able to bounce off the club appropriately.

Mastering the skills of holding the club with firm fingers and moving the club smoothly enables you to play shots in artistic manners. Playing your best golf is at your finger grips.

You can swing your golf club in different manners. The most prominent one is the modern swing, also called the lower body swing or total body swing. The “tail swings the dog” is a type of swing which is mostly played by young golfers with lean body and who are the first timers. In the course of swinging the club with his arms, a young boy arcs his body a little across his front portion of his body, which results in response to his arm’s and club’s movements. The flexible torso of a young boy easily bends drawing an arc, due to the forces that result by the movement of his arms and the club.

On the contrary, the most visible shot played by most of the overweight men in their middle-age with their stiff central torso is “dog swings the tail”. A man with bulky body is unable to bend his torso complying to the movement of his arms across the front portion of the body and hence plays this type of swing.
