The biggest mistake most golfers make is that they hold the golf club too loosely in their fingers and too firm in their arms. Thus, the golfer sometimes fails to hold good grip on the club and he consequently plays a poor shot.
The club needs to be held firmly in the fingers in order to try a good swing. Suppose you are trying to pick up a cup of coffee with your loose fingers and stiff arms. What would be the result? Most likely, you will drop it. The same may be the case with a golf club.
Once you understood how to hold the club, the next thing is to learn is the proper pull. When you try to pull either too hurriedly or from the elbow or shoulder, you may put a stress on your arm and your torso. You need to strengthen your fingers and try to swing the golf club smoothly while having stiff control in the fingers. This will help you to be in line with the shot and you will hit the ball to its destined target. This also helps to bounce off the club correctly.
Once you master the technique of holding the club in firm fingers and set your club gently in the motion, you will be able to get proficiency in creative shot-making. You will play your best golf when you hold the club with firm grips.
There are several ways to swing a golf club. The most famed is the modern swing which is also referred to as the lower body swing or total body swing. In most young golfers who have lean body and are the first timers, a particular type of swing is visible, which is called “tail swings the dog”. In the course of swinging the club with his arms, a young boy arcs his body a little across his front portion of his body, which results in response to his arm’s and club’s movements. The flexible body of a young boy moves about in space due to the forces that are generated by his moving of arms while trying to play a swing.
On the contrary, the most visible shot played by most of the overweight men in their middle-age with their stiff central torso is “dog swings the tail”. A man with bulky body is unable to bend his torso complying to the movement of his arms across the front portion of the body and hence plays this type of swing.
