Add Some Length & Finish in Style
It is quite common when teaching that I see many of my lessons overswinging the golf club, This is a major problem for many amateur golfers. As a result you lack power in the your swing and you will strike the golf ball inconsistently. It is very important that you make a full upper body turn and complete your backswing. The problem is that your swing and club tends to move a little further away from the ball. The feeling is that this is the correct position on your backswing, but all you are doing is making it more difficult to swing back down on the correct line on your follow through. Shortening your swing believe it or not will actually increase your distance and accuracy. If you think about it, you are giving yourself a better opportunity to attack the golf ball on a better line and improve your striking. This results in a big improvement on the flight of the ball and as result your distance will increase. Give it a go the next time you are practicing, remember to commit to the shot and you will have a more improved swing.
Test yourself the next time you are doing a bit of practice. In the picture above you will see my finishing position for a full swing. See if you can finish your swing in a balanced finishing position and try and hold this finish until your ball lands as a drill. So many golfers fail to hold their balance which leads too erratic shots. Commit yourself and make a better finish.
