Golf Swing Speed-Improve Yours Today!
Are you tired of getting negative golf scores because the ball won’t get its maximum speed? Does your golf swing speed make your golf playing miserable? Then you must find a way improve it. There are a lot of techniques in order to achieve the speed you want. Just a little practice here and there, and the next thing you know, your golf swing speed is like that of a professional.
Golf swing speed is achieved through the improvement of certain basic golf skills. This includes the golf stance and alignment, proper coordination of the parts of the body, and the right club to use. Golf stance and alignment is very important to achieve speed. Some golfers use golf stance just to look good, but other people use it to maximize the strength and speed of their swing. Always remember that a proper golf stance or posture will let one properly swing a golf club.
The parts of the body needed to speed up a golf swing are the feet, thighs, arms, wrist, and the whole upper body. Simply put, every part of the body must be coordinated to get that full swinging motion. Playing golf is not just about the wrist or the arms; it requires the coordination and cooperation of the other parts of the body. With respect to golf clubs, they are important in playing golf. How can you swing without a golf club? Every swing varies depending on the type of golf club one is using. It may be iron, wood, or a club made for putting. As such, one must know the use and purpose of each club.
Another way to improve one’s golf swing speed is through technique. Golf swing techniques vary depending on the person holding the golf club. Each golfer has a different capacity and distinct swing that is uniquely and distinctively his own. The technique may also differ based on the club used or the grip of the club. By reason of these differences, imitation is not an option because the result of the swing will be different. One must create his own technique, but should not in any way sacrifice golf basics.
There are many golf swing trainers available in the market that will help you improve your golf swing. There is an electronic and non-electronic swing trainer that teaches how to stand properly when swinging, how to apply the correct force on the ball, and even tells you what you’re doing wrong. Simply put, this device will provide you with the best training in order to achieve the golf swing speed that you want.
Finally, do not ever think that playing golf is about power. Obtaining the ideal golf swing speed is not just swinging your golf club in a barbaric and loose manner. The use of strength will not help one to make his swing faster and stronger. It is about strategy, the correct golf posture, and the most important of all, remembering the basics. Come to think of it, increasing swinging speed boils down to proper golf playing and strategy.

hi,i used to have the same problem then a realized hogam never released the club with his hands instead,it is better to keep the right elbow close to your body and hold the club off,you strike it better i find.

ive been playin for years and i have the same exact problem, however instead of trying to fix it I use it to my advantage. Play the hook the right way and it could work just as well.
Aim the ball slightly more to the left when you hit, at first it will feel unnatural but once you see how your ball moves it will make sense. Plus on doglegs right you will have a natural curve that will really help.
I play my hook well but when I want to hit straight I drive with a 4 iron instead of a driver. You get less distance but you get the desired accuracy. I play every week and my average is around 79. You cant argue with results

hello barry. i have a tendency to drop the club a little from the top of my back swing. i am trying to work on hitting into my left side from the top of my backswing with my hips like all the good players do. have you and drills i can practice to help me with this?

This is a common misconception in the golf swing.
Brian Manzella explains this the best at:
http://www.brianmanzella.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3390
You have to sign up for the forum, its free (the forum has pictures too). But I can summarize. Alot of people hear that at address you should raise your hands and then bend your wrists straight up. This is WRONG!
Try this:
Put the club out in front of you parallel to the ground, toe of the club to the sky. Bend your wrists so that the club swings backwards, but stays parallel to the ground with the toe still facing up to the sky. THIS is the correct wrist hinge you should be after.
Took me years to find this out and once I did – I went from a 15 handicap to a 6.

Excellent analysis…I’m not a golfer but love to watch the sport…even before T-Dub but I had no idea how intricate the game is…and as I get older it’s more appealing.

hi. take the shoe . right shoe . the shoemaker puts a small piece of plastic . 3 inches long . 3/4 inch hi9gh. at the back of the shoe to the sarch. this causes legs to stay stable, forces right knee to stay stable , and foot connected to rthe ground . it does work. please stay away from shoemakers in a mall just go to a small shop. a very high number of medical staff have the same thing done to thier shoes. when you tell the shoemaker what it is for. he will understand. it is a very simple illegal adjustment . the shoemaker will have you wait . cost under ten bucks. go for a walk before playing with the brace. after two months you could have it removed . there were shoes built this way early 90s . they worked so usga banned them . ken venturi, ben hogan, sam snead and byron nelson to name a few used this method . good luck . sorry spelling eyes screrwed up from cancer hack saw surgery .

LIKE I DON'T MESS UP MY GOLF PLAYING CRICKET(LOL).
Absolutely not, if you play both sports one will not hinder the other. The mechanics of swinging a baseball bat are very similar to those taught to golfers today and vise-versa. The biggest difference is the angle of attack since the baseball is thrown and the golf ball is stationary. The main thing is, the hardest thing to do, in both hitting baseballs and golf balls is, keeping the eyes on the ball until either the bat or golf club makes contact with the ball.
Hope this helps

Hi Barry
I used to play lots of golf and thought I had a decent swing until I had a free 10 minute analysis. My swing needs to be more flat and I have an issue of releasing my hands too early and not using my hips to turn. Do you possibly have any drills that could help? I appreciate it.
Al on July 13, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Al-
The most important thing in a golf swing is a nice, smooth tempo.
You should always have only one thought in your head while you are swinging, whether it be tempo, weight transfer, straight-left arm, ect.
As far as hitting the ball crisp, a smooth swing should be your #1 priority. When you are practicing, you can even count it out. 1…2…3 on the way back 1…2..3 on the way forward.
Good luck!

The ONLY consumer cameras that even approach what you want are a few of the higher-end Sony consumer camcorders that have the "smooth slow record" feature. Be advised that even though these camcorders are considered "high definition", when the smooth slow record" feature is invoked, the video quality is degraded (and no longer high definition).

hi Barry
Great analysis. Very simple and easy to understand. I have trouble releasing my hands a little early like sergio garcia and then not using my hips enough to lead my hands. Could you recommend any drills or something to help with this? Thanks
