I wanted to explain to you a golf drill that will cause you to focus on coiling your body to generate lots of power in your golf swing. Lots of people are pre-occupied by the use of their arms in the golf swing. Guess what? Your arms are not what makes a golf swing powerful, it is the twisting of the body.

Here is a simple golf swing drill that you can practice without the use of a golf club.

1) First of all, you have to learn to concentrate on how it feels to coil up your muscles during the golf swing without the use of a golf. To start off, you should try to get the correct stance.

Then place the golf  ball in the correct position. You will not be hitting it, but it will help you to focus.

2) Now, what you have to do is to cross your arms over your chest since you will not be using a golf club on the golf ball. Place your right hand on your left shoulder and your left palm on your right shoulder.

3) Start your backswing and focus on rolling the inner portion of your front foot inwards.

4) Finish your backswing and ensure that you are still looking down at the ball.

5) Also, allow your front knee to bend inwards.

6) Make sure that you are keeping your feet on the ground.

7) With the golf down swing, allow your hips to turn so that your belt bucket is facing the target. Your foot leg will now pivot and your shoulders will also turn.

Do this golf swing drill over and over until it becomes second nature. Also, I suggest that you check out a system that I use that helps with my complete golf swing :

A Great Golf Swing Drill

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Visualization works well with many sports and is one the best golf swing drills. I use this golf swing drill before every round of golf. This following golf drill will improve your balance during your golf swing.

1) You will have to keep your eyes closed during this golf drill since it will force you to focus on your swing, so no golf balls are needed.

2) With your eyes closed, start your golf swing but stop at the top of your backswing and focus in on having your weight on the inner part of your back foot.

3) Now complete your swing and stop during the top of your backswing and focus in on the fact that your weight should now be on the front foot.

Try this drill several times and each time reduce the amount of time that you stop at the backswing and the follow through. After some time, you will be able to sense when your balance is perfect. This drill is also a great way to reduce stress before a round of golf and it forces your brain to feel what a good backswing and follow through should feel like.

Most people will have trouble with this drill in the beginning because they never have stressed the balance points in their swing. Nevertheless, stick with it and you will notice that your golf swing will become more powerful and automatic.

Golf Swing Pace

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

In order to have a great golf swing pace, I found that you need to improve the rhythm and the balance in your golf swing. There are different golf swing drills that you can practice on the practice range.

1) Place five golf tees on the ground that are spaced about five inches apart.

2) Now hit each ball rather quickly trying to maintain your balance so that you strike the golf ball directly.

3) Repeat this particular drill four times in total while pacing your swing so that you will maintain your balance and power into your golf swing.

You will notice that after you have tried this drill, that you will have a better idea of how to maintain a great backswing to follow through because of the fact that you are maintaining a good distribution of weight from the front foot to the back foot. Try not to worry about where the ball is going during this drill, that will improve with time.
