Golf Swing Driver Tips



If you are looking to improve your golf game then you may not think that changing your golf swing driver will make that much difference. However, the swing is one of the main aspects of the game and there are many things which can lead to this improving. You obviously need to learn the correct techniques to the swing.

You need to get your stance correct, positions your body correctly through the shot, hit the ball at the right speed and have the right mental attitude to be able to successfully carry out the shot. It is also important to keep practicing your shot and make sure that you really are carrying the hsot out as you think you are.

It is easy to study the technical side and think that you are doing things correctly but if you get a chance to video yourself playing and watch it back, you may be surprised to see that you are not actually carrying out the shot in the way that you think you are. You may also benefit form becoming fitter and doing some golf strengthening exercises to tone the muscles that you use when you swing.

However, imagine if you did all of these things correctly but did not have a good driver? What would be the result? That’s right, your performance would be hindered. This is why it is important for everyone to make sure they have a good golf swing driver. There are many different types out there and many different brands.

It can be hard knowing which one to buy and even after reading lots of reviews you can still be completely daunted as to what to get. It is a really good idea to see whether you can try out some different ones. Ask the people that you play with whether you have a go with theirs and so find out whether they feel any different to play with, it is good if they have different types or brands and then you can get a feel for what differences there are between them.

Also think about what you want from a driver. Think about the grip, weight and other aspects. Which are most important to you and what do you feel would make a difference to you, perhaps a lighter one or one which makes your hands less likely to slip when playing.

Make sure that the ones that you are interested in can solve these problems for you and therefore make an improvement in your game. Go to a shop and try out some as well, see if they will let you handle them and practice swinging them. They may even have a special area where you can do this safely without other people around.

It may be worth seeing if you can hire or borrow some to find out what they are like. It could be a big investment that you are making and it I really important to make sure that the golf swing driver that you buy is the one that is best suited to you.

Golf Ball Striking Tips – Improve Your Golf Swing Today (Part I)



When a talks about “ball striking,” they are simply referring to the full golf swing. A golfer who is said to be a great ballstriker is really just a golfer who has a great overall swing. Here are a few golf ball striking tips to help your golf game, but first let’s separate myth from truth.

The Myth

Prevailing golf wisdom says that one must maintain their spine angle throughout their golf swing in order to have consistency. This myth can be traced back to when the sport of golf first started being played, and has resulted in more harm than good for most golfers.

Why It’s a Myth

For one, it is a difficult concept to really grasp. How many people really think about what their spine is doing outside of when their back hurts? Secondly, the fact is the spine does move during your swing, and quite a bit actually. When looking for golf ball striking tips, many people come upon this one. The most important thing you can do, is ignore it altogether.

Where to Focus

Instead of focusing on your spine angle, focus on keeping your forward bend toward the ball constant. You form this angle initially when addressing the ball and reinforces how important setup fundamentals are to your golf game. Here are some golf ball striking tips to help you do it.

Addressing the Ball

Start by bending from your hips, making sure not to bend from the waist. When you bend properly, an imaginary line coming up the shaft would intersect your spine on a perpendicular angle. Your side bend is almost as important as your forward bend at address and should not be ignored. Ideally, your spine should tilt away from the target slightly to the right by approximately 5 degrees. If you are not bent to the right at address, you’re bent left, and that is not a good place to be.

Maintain your Forward Bend

You will have major swing issues if you change your forward bend, either by lowering your torso toward the ground or rising up toward the sky. If you are rising up on the downswing, you have a much higher risk of hitting the ball thin or putting too much weight on your right side, usually leading to slices. When addressing the ball, imagine your head resting on a wall. As you swing, try to maintain contact with the imaginary wall. This will help to keep your forward bend intact all the way through your swing. If you practice these golf ball striking tips, your golf game will improve before your very eyes.

What To Do When Lightning Strikes



I usually talk about lightning in golf lessons and golf tips because it’s important. Lightning claims more lives every year than hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods combined, according to some reports. That’s a lot of people. And golfers with their hand held lightning rods, as I mention in my golf instruction sessions, are as likely to be killed as anyone, unless they’re careful.

How deadly is lightning? If you’re hit by lightning, you probably won’t get another chance to lower your golf handicap. A typical shock from lightning sends several thousand amps through your body in an instant. Unfortunately, it takes only two amps to stop your heart. So your chances of surviving after being struck by lightning aren’t good. That’s why you should know exactly what to do when you’re on the course and lightning strikes.

Here’s a short golf instruction session on what to do.

Get off the course immediately

If you see lightning or hear thunder, even in the distance, get off the course immediately. Squalls and thunderstorms bearing lightning move quickly sometimes. Before you know it, they’re right on top of you, catching you unprepared. If you see trouble, get off the course instantly. Don’t worry about your clubs or the cart. Just get to shelter.

Find a dense wooded area

Don’t seek refuge under a lone tree. That’s extremely dangerous. Thickets of short trees, On the other hand, are relatively safe. Also, avoid isolated shacks, unless they are grounded with lightning rods. Many are not, so be careful. Don’t enter one unless you know for sure that it’s been grounded. One golfer who took a golf lesson from me was surprised to find out after a storm that the shack she took shelter in wasn’t grounded.

Fall to your knees

When caught in the open, fall to your knees. Lightning strikes the highest point in the immediate vicinity. So if you’re caught in the open and you think you’re going to be struck by lightning, go down to your knees. Get as low as possible, but don’t lie down. You want as little of the ground touching your body as possible. Lightning often travels through the ground

Take off you spiked shoes

Not many golfers who take golf instruction sessions from me wear metal spikes these days. But some do. If you happen to be one and you get caught on the course when lightning strikes, take your shoes off. The metal attracts electricity. You’re better off getting your socks wet than being hit by lightning.

Get rid of your umbrella

Most golf umbrellas are made of fiberglass, making them less likely to attract lightning. However, lightning will strike an umbrella occasionally, because lightning tends to strike the highest point in the immediate vicinity. Never carry an umbrella except during a light drizzling rain.

Stand away from your clubs

Stand as far away from your clubs as possible and never get caught holding one. Golf clubs are natural lightning rods, and nothing attracts lightning faster than a golf club. When Lee Trevino was hit by lightning at the Western Open in 1975, the same bolt hit Arnold Palmer’s golf club 40 yards down the fairway.

Stay away from water

Get as far away from ponds and lakes as you can. Water is a great conductor of electricity. If lightning strikes a lake or a pool, it can move through the ground and hit you where you stand. Remember few people are struck directly by lightning. It almost always strikes something near by and conducts through the ground.

Golf carts are not safe

Forget what you’ve heard about golf carts being safe during a storm. Rubber tires do not ground electricity. That’s a myth. It’s not unusual for lightning to bounce off a tree and go right through a car’s roof, killing the car’s occupants. Golf carts are even less safe. Lightning strikes the highest point on the ground and that might just be the top of your golf cart.

Avoid the green

This is one time on a golf course where it’s better to be in a greenside bunker than on the green. Greens are often a bit higher than the surrounding terrain, making them more likely to be struck by lightning. In addition, the flagstick is especially likely to be struck by lightning. So the last place you want to be is on the green. Forget what you’ve been told in golf tips about how bad it is being in a bunker. This time it’s good. Move to a greenside bunker and kneel down.

Newspapers publish stories about golfers being killed by lightning about 150 times a year. But lightning is much more dangerous than that. Follow the advice given above when lightning strikes and it’s a good bet your name won’t appear in one of those stories. We want everyone around to be able to take more golf lessons, read about golf, and continue lowering their golf handicaps. Be safe.
