FIVE STEP GOLF SWING TO IMPROVE QUICKLY

STEP 1: Starting with a lofted club (PW, 9-iron, or 8-iron) all you need to do is take the club back to 90* with minimal wrist-cock. From there, all you have to do is drag the handle of the club past the ball so that, at impact, our shaft is in front of our body and finishing with a low club head. This will encourage us to swing down at the ball creating a very high smash factor rating.

STEP 2: Now we will add some bend in our left wrist while the right arm actually hinges creating a nice right angle between your shaft and your left arm. This allows us to develop power, driving the ball down the course.

STEP 3: The third step is the shoulder turn. That shoulder turn should load your weight on the inside of your left foot. This should allow for your club to stay inside the golf ball on the way back down to impact.

STEP 4: On the follow through, your arms are going to rotate and the club is going to re-hinge.

STEP 5: Complete the full swing with a body release through your target. If you can master the release of the body, the “scoop and flip” in a golf swing will be eliminated.

Do this five step golf swing approach.  You will begin to enjoy golf and hit better golf shots.
