One of the biggest problems that most golfers face is figuring out where they are going wrong when it comes to their swing. Volumes have been written about the art of the swing and still people have difficulty. If you are trying to see where you are going wrong, there are a few techniques and tips you can utilize to diagnose and fix these issues, before they get any worse.
1. Videotape your swing.
By far, if you need to know what is going wrong with your swing, the easiest way to tell is by videotaping it. Thanks to today’s little cameras, you won’t have to worry about lugging a big camera along with you on the course and you can immediately see what is going wrong. Have a friend videotape your swing at each hole and then you will be able to analyze what you may be doing wrong.
We recommend doing this at each hole since your swing can change dramatically as you play. Whether you end up getting tired and sloppy, or you start to warm up and improve, you’ll be able to pinpoint quite a few problems if you do this. We also recommend showing your video to a pro, or to a friend that is knowledgeable on the game. They may be able to spot something you’re not seeing.
2. Use a swing monitor.
Most courses are moving towards installing these monitors in their practice areas, and you should be able to find at least one in your local area that has one. These machines will help pinpoint the exact second where you start to go wrong and they are incredibly beneficial, especially to new players. If you have been struggling and just can’t get past the problem, this is the perfect solution.
Find a course that offers this and then pay for one lesson with the pro on staff. They’ll be able to help you interpret the results and find ways that you can improve your swing. It will cost a little money, but the amount of time you save and the results you can get will make it more than worth the expense.
3. Watch other players.
Make it a habit to watch other players on the course and on television and start analyzing their swings. As you become used to seeing different swings and the results they produce, you’ll be able to start incorporating some changes into your own game. This is a very helpful way to learn more about how a swing works and how to get big results from small changes.
4. Get some instructional DVDs.
If you can’t quite afford an instructor, you can get some DVDs that will show you how to perfect your swing, piece by piece. We highly recommend the The 8 Step Swing by Jim McLean
DVD series and the book. These two resources are packed with information and help for every golfer.
With a little time and by paying attention, you can fix your golf swing and get better results from your game.
