The Perfect Golf Swing

Most golf instructors, with few exceptions, will agree that the perfect golf swing is a myth. All you have to do is look at the variety of different swings on the PGA and LPGA tour each weekend on television. The swings may look different but they have some common elements. First, they all start with good basics: Grip, Aim and Setup. Most importantly, the swing repeats itself every time. There are players who have success on tour with funny looking swings. It is because the swings repeat each time from constant practice. Also, they have confidence that their swing will work.

The golf swing can be simple but is often complicated by too much thinking. A good golf swing starts with good rhythm. You can't make a good forward swing unless you take your time going back to set up proper rhythm and motion. A swing that is too fast back, usually has the club and body working against each other and helps create poor shots. The object of the golf swing is to create speed on the downswing - not the back swing. A fast backswing will create bad motion and a hands dominated swing that will be hard to repeat. Take the club away slow for better motion and rhythm. Because the backswing sets up the downswing, we will discuss it first.

A good backswing starts with the arms - not the hands. You don't want to pick the club up at takeaway. You want to draw it away in a one-piece motion. As the club starts back, the left shoulder and hips should turn naturally to allow weight to transfer to the right side. The hands should begin to set at waist high. As the club continues to the top, the shoulders should continue to turn. At the top it is important to have the hands set but not broken down. Overswinging at the top will create negative club speed and inconsistent swings.

Now that we've talked about the backswing, let's talk about the downswing. The object of the downswing is to return the clubhead to the ball with maximum controllable speed. Just as too fast of a backswing is no good, too hard of a downswing can also cause bad golf shots. There are many theories on what should start the downswing. I find that most players who think about pulling with their left arm from the top will create a more consistent swing with all body parts working together. Many players from watching the tour players tend to try to lead the downswing with the left side, and as a result slide ahead of the ball at impact causing weak slicing shots.

To complete the swing you must have a good finish. The finish in the golf swing, unlike in baseball, needs to be high, not left. We find most beginners find it more natural to finish low and left causing topped shots and difficult to get the ball airborne. The clubface needs to stay square for several inches after impact to create proper flight on the ball. Also, in the finish the weight that you transferred to the right side in the backswing now must transfer to the left side. With a good finish your right knee should face the target, right foot up so all spikes are visible, and hands high close to your left ear.

Perfect Golf Swing Tips

“Discover The 7 Steps To A Perfect Golf Swing”

There are 7 steps to a perfect golf swing. Find out how the first step, your grip, can have a phenomenal effect on your game, from fairway blasting drives to the most subtle chip shots. This tutorial will give you the golf grip secrets your buddies will want to know! Whether you want to tell them is for you, and your conscience, to decide!

Why Is the Grip So Important?

If you want to have a powerful, accurate golf swing it pays to understand how to maximize the effectiveness of your grip.

The grip is often known as the steering wheel of the golf swing, in the sense that a good grasp of the golf club will get your shots to their destination. Making sure your hands are appropriately placed to guide your swing is the first obstacle to overcome, if you want a perfect golf swing.

Remember, as you read this, that a golfer’s grip is a powerfully individual component of their golf swing. Every golfer’s ideal grip is as different as their choice of clubs or golf shirt. Now, this does mean you’re going to have to hit some balls to perfect your own individual approach, but there are some key secrets to a good grip, for every golfer.



1. You need to place the golf club in your left hand, so that the club crosses your left palm, from the forefinger’s base to the pad above your pinky finger.
2. Make sure you hold the handle steady with the fingers of your left hand, while wrapping the palm around the top of the club’s grip.

3. The club goes across the left palm (image above on left)
4. Wrap your palm around the top of the grip in the fingers (image above on right)

Did you know?

The grip has more effect on the flight of the ball than anything else in golf. It’s the foundation that the rest of the swing is built on and the reason why it’s the first port of call in any search for the perfect golf swing.

If you’re having problems with the flight pattern of your shots, the chances are you need to start by looking at the way you hold your club. In many cases, addressing issues with the grip can have a noticeable quick win impact.

At its core, you need to make sure you grip the golf club in your fingers. The further into the palm you grip, the slower your golf swing will be. Not only will you get a faster grip from holding the club in your fingers, you’ll also close the clubface quicker.

Correcting Common Golf Swing Errors:

Slicing the ball? You’ll need to move the club further into the fingers

Hooking the ball? You’ll need to move your left hand further up into the palm area.


Right Hand



Hopefully, you now have a good idea of how you need to be gripping the club with your left hand. It’s now time to address the right hand.

* 3. Place your right hand on the side of your right leg. Bring it slowly towards the base of the golf club.
* 4. Your right hand will need to be placed more in the fingers than the palm. Fold the right hand around the fingers of your left hand.
* 5. Important- Keep both palms facing each other at all times. There is no flexibility on this, it must be done. It’s not difficult, thankfully.

* Move your Right Hand Towards the bottom of your Left Hand (image above on left)
* Fold your Right Hand around the Fingers of your Left Hand (image above in center)
* Make sure that both palms face each other (image above on right)

Congratulations, you now have covered the essentials of gripping your golf club! But before you book that ultimate golfing vacation, you may want to work on it a little. Experiment to make sure the grip is tuned to your golfing needs and playing style. Think of this as the building blocks of a killer grip, and the swing that will follow.

With the basics covered, the next thing to cover will be the grip variations available. Think of these variations as a way of pinpointing your individual style, to find the golf swing that’s best for you.

A Note On Golf Club Grips

Before we discuss the important topic of grip variations, it’s worth taking a moment to cover the grip you have fitted on your golf clubs.

Most clubs will have a “men’s” grip or a “ladies’” grip. If you have smaller hands the clubs should have a “ladies’” grip fitted, even if you have “men’s” clubs.

Larger hands should have golf clubs with “men’s” grips fitted. To complicate matters further, you can have “jumbo” grips for larger hands or those who suffer arthritis. Very small hands can benefit from “junior” grips.

Why worry about the grips fitted to your golf clubs? Well, the size of the grip, in relation to your hand size, affects the flight and travel of the ball.

Larger grips will take to make players fade the ball, while smaller grips will tend to make players draw the ball.

Grip Variations

While there’s more than one way to grip a golf club, there’s no need to get overwhelmed by the choices available. Simple experimentation will allow you to eliminate those that don’t suit your style, pretty quickly. Here are some tips to get you set with the right grip variation for you.








interlocking grip



As a guide, the interlocking grip will tend to suit those who have smaller hands and fingers. Its key benefit is that it helps to wrap your fingers and palm around the grip handle.

overlapping grip

Overlapping Grip

For those with larger hands, the overlapping grip is the most likely grip to work for you.

Of course these are the correct ways to hold your club, but that’s not all you can do to help shape your own personal grip style. You can apply these grips to the club in three different ways.

The above-mentioned grips are the proper way to hold a club- however there are three different ways you can apply them to the golf club.

weak gripneutral gripstrong grip

* The Weak Position has no knuckles of the left hand showing (left image)
* The Neutral Position has one knuckle of the left hand showing (center image)
* The Strong Position Has 2/3 knuckles of the left hand showing (right image)

If you experiment with the different positions, you can adjust the best position for you. If your swing curves to the right, move towards strong position. If the ball curves to the left, move towards weak position.

If this correction allows you to hit the golf ball without curve, stop- you have the right position. Don’t experiment any further!

Grip Pressure

Now that you can picture the right grip, it’s time to think about the last component of the perfect golf grip; the pressure you apply to the club. You may or may not be surprised to learn that it’ll have a significant impact on your golf swing. In any case, it’s vital to get it right.

Grip the club tightly and your arm will swing slower, taking longer for the clubface to release in the downswing. If you hook the golf ball, this is actually beneficial.


So, if you normally slice the golf ball, you need to reverse this and apply a light touch to the ball. Gripping the club lightly will cause the swing to be faster and release quicker for the downswing.

You’ll know that you have the correct pressure when you can hit the ball without it curving. Once you find that pressure, keep practicing to get the pressure consistent.

This Is Stage One Of The Perfect Golf Swing

Hopefully you can now imagine the improvements to your swing and you’re keen to put this tutorial into practice. However, you will remember that this is just stage one of the seven secrets of a perfect golf swing.

If you can master each of the elements, you’ll have a golf swing that’ll be the envy of your golfing buddies, maybe even the other members of your club!

50 Best Swing Keys

What to do and where to be throughout the swing for guaranteed success

Print E-mail
By Brady Riggs, with Mike Chwasky

50 Swing KeysWhen you watch Tour pros on television, you probably notice certain similarities in their respective swings. Good tempo is common, as well as good balance. Do you remember the last time you saw a professional golfer fall down after a swing or take a hack that looked awkward or rushed? Amateur golfers also tend to notice the look and feel of effortlessness Tour pros project during the swing. Of course, the prodigious distance their shots travel and the crispness of their ballstriking are impressive as well. The problem is, most amateurs simply don’t do the things the pros do before, during and after the swing and, as a result, are unable to get the same results. To hit the ball like a pro, you have to understand the moves they make and learn to do them yourself. Then, you’ll be solid.

Pro Drills
A corresponding drill is included for every dynamic part of the golf swing in this article. These drills are designed to help ingrain the “magic moves” that you’ll need to hit the ball like a pro. Once you better understand the swing, practicing the drills will be easier and more productive.

Setup Setup Keys
1 To get your legs properly positioned, begin by placing your feet just outside your hips, with your toes pointed outward at about 25 degrees. Then make sure your knees are relaxed and slightly bowed.
2 It’s crucial to position your upper left arm on top of your chest, not on the side of it. Allow your left arm to hang naturally, and slightly bend your right arm at the elbow.
3 The right shoulder must be slightly lower than the left at address to promote a proper takeaway.
4 The clubshaft should be perpendicular to the ground and not forward-pressed.

Perfect Posture
Good posture at address is critical. Without it, a proper takeaway and weight shift are impossible, and a multitude of problems, most notably a reverse pivot, can occur. Notice (right) how my upper body is at a 45-degree angle to the ground, while my legs remain The Proper Takeawayflexed and supportive. At the same time, the small of my back is flat. Good golfers maintain this position throughout the swing, particularly through impact. Losing this position by straightening up prematurely tends to produce thin, weak shots that move from left to right. Establishing an angle of about 45 degrees between the clubshaft and the ground is also important—a club that’s too vertical at address will promote an overly inside takeaway and an over-the-top swing pattern.

The Proper Takeaway
A solid takeaway is as important as any aspect of the golf swing. If you watch Tour players closely, you’ll notice they’ve all mastered it because they know that without a proper takeaway, it’s almost impossible to make a good golf swing. After you’ve worked on your setup, it will be much easier to learn a sound takeaway, and you’ll be that much closer to swinging like a pro.

Outside & Up
Notice how the upper part of my left arm is still attached to my chest, while the clubhead is outside my hands as the club has traveled about halfway back. My left wrist is still cupped, my right arm is above the left and my right knee is still flexed. These positions, though simple, are absolutely critical.

Takeaway Drill
Grip a long iron just below the handle and place the butt of the club in your stomach. Elevate the shaft so the clubhead is at about knee height, and concentrate on feeling that your torso, arms, hips, legs and club are one unit. Then, simply take the club back by turning your body. You should feel that your hands and wrists are doing nothing to manipulate the club.

Pro Techniques
Three-time major winner Nick Price has the perfect takeaway.

There aren’t many golfers in the world who take the club away better than Nick Price. Because of his machine gun-like tempo, it can be tough to appreciate exactly how great Price’s technique is, but here in stop-action, it’s all crystal-clear. From the beginning, he keeps the club well outside his hands, and even when he brings the club up, the clubhead never gets too inside. This allows him to deliver the club on-plane and produce consistently well-struck golf shots. If you want to hit it like Nick, start practicing.

How it works is why it's so effective! The Inside Approach was developed to give golfers a clear visual understanding of where the club needs to be swung as it approaches the most critical point of the swing... the impact zone. To hit solid, accurate shots, the clubface must be square or squaring at impact and the club must be approaching the ball from an "inside" path.

The Inside Approach's unparalleled design gives golfers immediate feedback (both positive and negative) on whether they have accomplished this task. The path in which the club is swung directly influences one's ability to square the clubface and thus be consistent. If the club is swung down too steep or from out-to-in, it makes it very difficult for your hands and arms to square the clubface - the result of which is usually an open clubface at impact causing the SLICE (85% of all golfers do this). If you happen to square the clubface when swinging from out-to-in, you may hit a "pull." (Often, you may find that you pull your short irons and slice you longer irons, and especially your driver). When the club is swung down on the correct path, it promotes the proper sequence of movements necessary for your arms and hands to naturally square the clubface. Some golfers have a tendency to hit pushes and hooks. These ball flights are also a result of poor path, however, the path now is being swung too far from the inside or underneath the correct swing plane. The Inside Approach is universally designed to correct both of these undesirable swing paths by giving you safe and instant feedback on whether you have swung the club on the correct path. If your swing path is correct you will miss the cushion; if it is incorrect your club may hit the cushion. The cushion, if hit, is designed to safely break away thus not hurting you or your club(s). This immediate feedback (positive and/or negative) is by far, the most effective method of training a new motor skill.

Golf Tip: Get more power on your golf swing

Author: Karen AuthorPalacios-Jansen, voted one of America's Top 50 Instructors by Golf for Women magazine, is a LPGA Teaching Professional and an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer. She owns Swing Blade Inc., a golf events management company, and her golf-specific program Cardiogolf is available on DVD. Read her golf instruction blog at WorldGolf.com
Special to WorldGolf.com

You've heard that a golf-specific workout will help you get more distance, so you're pumping iron, jogging religiously, stretching - but you still haven't gained any distance off the tee. What's the deal?

Well, I will be the first to tell you that a golf-specific exercise program will help you gain distance, but you also need to have good swing technique to take advantage of your strength and flexibility.

If you are losing power in your golf swing, it may not be because you are not strong enough; there may be a flaw in your swing. You may need to examine your golf swing more carefully and figure out where the power leaks are occurring. I have assembled a list of seven factors that may be causing power loss, with tips on how to get more distance.
Seven reasons you're losing power

1. You may not be making solid contact with the sweet spot, or center of the clubface. For every quarter-inch you hit the ball outside of the sweet spot, you lose 12 yards of distance. If you hit the ball off the toe of the clubface, which is three-quarters of an inch outside the sweet spot, you'll lose 36 yards of distance.

Concentrate on hitting the ball on the sweet spot. Buy special clubface tape available at the pro shop that will mark your strike point when you make contact with the ball. Work until you can make solid contact with the ball right in the middle of the sweet spot.

2. You may be coming over the top on the downswing. Specifically, your arms are swung away from your body on the downswing, resulting in an "out to in" clubface path. This produces very weak shots. To fix this problem, concentrate on your right elbow (or left elbow if you are left-handed) on the downswing. Try this drill: Swing to the top of your swing and pump your arms down half way, so that your right elbow points away from your body. This will make your arms come closer to your side and make the clubhead stay behind your hands so that you can hit the inside of the ball for solid contact.

3. You may be turning your shoulder incorrectly on the downswing. If you throw your right shoulder (left shoulder if you are left-handed) toward the target as you start your downswing, the result is an over the top motion with the club. To fix this problem, concentrate on making your right shoulder rock down instead of out on the start of the downswing. This will help the arms stay closer to the body and initiate an "in to out" swing instead of over the top.

4. You may be hitting the outside of the ball at impact, imparting left to right spin. To correct this, you need to hit the inside of the ball at impact instead. To help you achieve this position, have the butt end of the club pointing inside the ball-target line as you swing your arms down. This will help you hit the inside of the ball.

5. You may be initiating your downswing with your upper body instead of your lower body from the top of the swing. This will cause your arms to swing away from your body, creating a power loss. To correct this, you must initiate the downswing with your lower body first and let the upper body follow to the finish. Concentrate on leading your downswing with your legs instead of your upper body.

6. You may be making contact with the ball at the wrong point. If your clubhead makes contact with the ground before the ball, you will lose power and hit the ball fat or thin. To make correct contact, play the ball farther back in your stance. This will help you achieve a downward blow and give you more power. Usually the ball is placed in the middle of the stance for a mid iron, but to improve contact at impact, move the ball back of center. This will help you make better contact. As you gain confidence, you can move the ball back to the center of your stance.

7. You may be pushing the ball down the fairway with your arms instead of swinging the clubhead. If your left or lead arm looks like a chicken wing on the follow-through, the club is cutting across the ball, resulting in a power loss.

To adjust, you'll need to release your forearms. Try the split grip drill to get the proper feeling. Without a ball, slide your right hand down until your index finger is on the shaft. This will make your right arm longer on the club. Take practice swings and you will feel how the right arm folds over the left one on the follow-through. Practice this until it becomes automatic and then practice hitting shots with your regular grip.

Golf Swing-Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer

Golf Swing-Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer




Sport Sensors Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer The Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer is a small, microwave Doppler radar velocity sensor that provides the swing speed and tempo rhythm for golfers of all ages and skill levels. It assists players in developing /optimizing their swing, and maintaining consistency, by measuring actual tempo time from club takeaway to ball impact at the climax of their forward swing, as well as the swing speed of the clubhead as it approaches the ball.

View Products Details

The Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer, featuring simple one-button operation, provides unmatched utility in a single, affordable device. Clubhead speed and tempo are two significant characteristics of a golfers ing that must be optimized and controlled if the golfer is to consistently achieve his/her best ball-striking results. Expensive launch monitors costing thousands of dollars, primarily used by well-funded clubmakers, instructors, or pro golfers, generally include these two vital parameters in their measurement systems.

However, less expensive devices for use by most instructors, clubmakers, and by the golfing public are limited in utility. Conventional swing speed meters can be inconsistent, unreliable, and complicated to use. Some even require attachments to the club that can change the club swing dynamics. Metronome-type devices can provide tempo time models for the golfer to try to emulate, but the resulting tempo time can only be estimated by comparisons with the model. The Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer can be set to measure and display clubhead swing speed alone (SS Mode); tempo time, from club takeaway to ball impact, alone (TT Mode); or both swing speed and tempo time in the Dual Mode, in which the display toggles (alternates) between swing speed and tempo time.

The Impact Zone: Mastering Golf's Moment of Truth (Hardcover)

The Impact Zone: Mastering Golf's Moment of Truth (Hardcover)




Bobby Clampett is one of the most knowledgeable golfing minds in the game.'-Tom Lehman, 1996 British Open Champion, 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup team captain Impact has long been called golf's 'moment of truth,' and great golfers have spent countless hours working on their swings trying to upgrade their impact dynamics as the golf club approaches, contacts, then swings through the ball. For the first time, with The Impact Zone, golfers will have a book that focuses their attention on the very same region of the swing on which professional golfers have always concentrated.

View Products Details

The Impact Zone is a unique instructional guide in that everything in it either focuses on or applies to improving a golfer's understanding and execution of impact.Here, acclaimed professional golfer Bobby Clampett concludes that the overwhelming bias and convention of today's contemporary teaching environment is to value swing styles over swing dynamics, and in so doing, the overwhelming majority of golf teachers miss the boat in terms of teaching the game effectively.

Ultimately this emphasis on swing style comes at the expense of helping golfers to develop sound swing dynamics, which are the real keys to consistent ball striking and better golf.With the help of CBS's Swing Vision high-speed camera-using images from many of the game's greatest contemporary players (including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, John Daly, Vijay Singh, Sergio Garcia, and more)-The Impact Zone takes an unprecedented look at the most important six inches in golf, those that immediately precede, contain, and follow impact.

To further demonstrate these principles, Clampett presents photos and drills that convey the five essential dynamics golfers need to produce and reproduce solid impactThroughout these instructional pages, Bobby Clampett-teamed with veteran golf writer Andy Brumer-relays his own personal story of straying from swing dynamics and how he found his way back.He recalls memorable stories from the Tour, blending innovative instruction with his colorful, engaging anecdotes.Clampett and Brumer create an essential instructional guide with clear, concise advice-on creating great swing dynamics through the impact zone-the universally acknowledged key to more consistent and better golf. Advance Praise for The Impact Zone 'I had played many times against Bobby on the PGA Tour and was always impressed with his in-depth approach to the golf swing. But after working with him at CBS for several years, I have come to understand why.

The Impact Zone will reveal to the golf world Bobby's unique insight as to why so many different 'styled' golf swings work. God knows my swing isn't one the named teachers are having their students copy, but it was good enough to win twenty-one PGA Tour events and the '77 PGA Championship.It's about time someone finally put in print to refute the myths about 'style of swing' and get down to the meat of the matter-impact! It's no surprise to me that Bobby was the one to get it done right!'-Lanny Wadkins, lead golf analyst for CBS Sports'It's great for all golfers that someone has finally structured an instruction book around dynamic impact. Nor does it surprise me that Bobby Clampett is the one to have done it.

Right Angle 2 Golf Training Aid

Golf swing-Right Angle 2 Golf Training Aid

golf channel-golf guide

One of the major factors promoting repetitive solid contact is consistent width of swing arc. If arc is measured as a radius of the swing circle , every tiny change in that radius translates to a significant change in the position of the club head.

View Products Details

Each change would make an already complex movement even more difficult to repeat. Additionally, we all know from the width of Tiger Woods swing, the importance of arc width in promoting distance. One training aid which is exceptional at developing consistent arc width is the Right Angle 2. By preventing the trailing arm from folding more than 90 degrees, the arc width is not only maintained at a consistent radius, but the radius is kept as wide as possible in order to insure the maximum leverage is applied from the club to the ball.

Here's what the Right Angle 2 will do for you:

a. Allows you to get the club hinged correctly in the backswing.
b. Positions the right arm correctly at the top of the backswing.
c. Generates both width and extension for a more powerful, on line move.

d. Encourages a proper release that generates maximum centrifugal force... and that means more clubhead speed and that means longer, straighter golf shots. The Right Angle 2 was designed for right-handed golfers, but may be worn on the inside of the left arm for left-handed golfers. If you want to improve your ball-striking abilities, spend five minutes a day with The Right Angle 2 and watch your scores go down!
