Key Elements Of A Great Swing

By: The Golf Swing Genius

Some of the key elements to a good swing include a good setup, swinging the club on the proper path or swing plane, and staying in balance during your entire swing. Make sure to have good alignment and proper ball position in your setup. This will go a long way to making you a better golfer. Making the correct adjsutments in your setup is half the battle to achieving a better golf swing. Misalignment in the setup will force you to try and make compensations in your swing which will never bring you to your full potential.

Swinging on the correct plane and swing path is something all good golfers are able to do. If you swing on plane correctly with a good takewaway and wrist set in the backswing, from there you will simple finish your turn and swing the club over your right shoulder. The impact position will mirror the setup position other than the hips will be slightly open and turned. The club will continue in the follow through and swing all the way over the left shoulder and your body ends up actually facing the direction of your target.

Swinging with good balance and good rhythym are two more important keys that will help you hit the golf ball better. Some golfers will make the mistake of trying to swing too hard, almost as if they are trying to kill the ball. Your backswing will be about three times as long as your downswing. Make sure to get your swing tempo correct and this will allow you to swing the club more easily and effortlessly on the correct swing path.

Summary: You must learn to master the basics of a good swing. All good golfers do not have exactly the same swings, however they all have certain key elements of their swings in common that allow them to play well consistently.
