What exercises can i do to improve my posture for golf?

September 5th, 2010

In my own golf swing, I have consistently noticed that i have a very upright posture (even with my wedges and putter lol!), even though my weight is evenly distributed between the balls of my feet. Therefore, what exercises or drills can i do that involve both strength and flexibility? I personally am an ambitious and slightly competitive teenager, looking to improve my own personal game (particularly with my long game). Thanks…
For your information, i actually have an in to out swing path anyways, which can cause a few good shots and some inconsistencies..

Need some advice on golf swing?

August 19th, 2010

After playing around with some of the computer/camera technology at my local golf course I have found that one of the problems with my swing is that my pelvis is moving toward the ball on take away and then moving even closer on my downswing, which causes my hands to get "jammed" and I end up blocking the ball to the right. One friend suggested that I practice hitting balls with my butt against the back of a chair. I was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions, drills, thoughts, or swing aids that might help. Thanks

How to fight a golf slice?

June 5th, 2010

I’ve been having trouble wtih a push and push slice in my golf swing. I’ve been trying to go more inside out but still have problems coming accross my chest….but like many I have a problem pulling my arms accross my chest early thus end up going outside in? Will early release of the club allow my arms to more naturally and easily go from inside out? Havent had a chance to go back to the range since i thought of this? What are you thoughts? Focus on the inside out and hopefully the cllub will realease in time…or focus on the club release and this will promote the inside out plane? Im trying to break the swing down in parts so i can figure this thing out…thanks.
i just went to the range and took a look at my ball flight…I dont think I have a typical slice…more of a push…or the extreme opposite a pull hook…after some research…i dont think i have an outside in swing plane…i think on the downswing i am over the top and am cutting down and accross the ball…so that if my club face is closed ill pull hook it…or if it is open ends up being mostly a push and sometimes slice if the face is extremely open…does this sound right?
Thanks for the help guys…i just got back from the range…after thousands of balls hit at the range…its finally clicked…i didnt have an outside in plane…i was coming down to steep then cutting across or down on the ball then i would pull across my chest….so that if the face was closed i would pull or hook it…if the face was open i would slice or push it…anyhow…figured that if i start from the feet and just let my club fall naturally so that its more sweeping action i would get that coveted in out swing plane…after i made an adjustment to the offset ( i was better with my 7-4 iron…until i understood that the shorter irons had less offset) …i would say 7 out of my 10 balls i had solid contact…the other 3 were either face open or closed…its finally clicked!

Does one use the same golf swing all the time except for putting?

April 22nd, 2010

I have just started hitting balls at a golf simulator. So far I am just on the driving range and do a full swing. Does the swing change when one plays golf on a real course as one gets nearer the green? What I mean is do you hit it with a less full swing or does changing the clubs take care of the differences in distances?

What part of my golf swing should i focus on to hit the ball clean consistently?

April 10th, 2010

I know you have to hit balls till your hands bleed but should I concentrate on ball placement or swing tempo or wrist movement or swing arc or body position….maybe the question i should ask is what should i focus on first….i have played golf for years and have found some clubs im comfortable with….id like to hear what has helped other casual golfers improve their game….THANKS!
