Speed Up Your Golf Swing Right Where It Matters



You want to your golf swing to be the fastest right at impact, right?
Well, here’s a great drill that will teach you to swing the fastest at the bottom of your golf swing. To do this drill, simply set up to an imaginary ball as you normally would and then swing back at 10% of your normal pace. Then start your downswing at 10% of your normal pace. Or in other words….swing really slowly! BUT when you get to about 2 feet away from where a ball would be try to swing as fast as you possibly can.
When doing this feel the club hitting you on the back at the end of your golf swing. Swing through as hard and as fast as you possibly can. Do about 25 swings like this for 30 days and you won’t believe the difference in the distance you get from your shots when you swing normally.

Physical Pre-Shot Routine For Consistent Golf Shots

For your golf game to be more consistent and more like a top golf pro you must create and habitualize a consistent physical pre-shot routine. And when you create a physical pre-shot routine here are some key things you should do…
1. Always start your physical pre-shot routine directly behind your ball.
2. Have your grip set to go before you address the ball.
3. Pick out an intermediate target to align your clubface to.
4. Have a waggle in your physical routine to keep movement up and to help keep you relaxed and ready to go.
5. Always make sure you look at your final target before swinging the club.
6. Have a physical swing trigger to signal the start of your golf swing.


Once you create a physical pre-shot routine it’s a good idea to write the steps down so that you can always refer back to it if you forget. Having said that, you should practice your physical pre-shot routine over and over to make sure you don’t forget.
The goal when practicing your physical pre-shot routine is so that on the course you don’t have to worry about where you’re positioning the ball, aligning or how your grip is. Because they will just happen naturally from you following your physical pre-shot routine that you’ve created.

How Hard To Grip The Golf Club

When you swing the golf club you need to keep a solid and firm grip on the club to have any sort of golfing consistency and success. There are many different “ideas” on how hard you should grip the golf club, e.g. hold the grip as though you’re holding a baby bird OR hold the grip as tight as you would a loaf of bread etc., etc. But the bottom line really is not so much how hard you hold the grip but it’s how hard you don’t hold it.
You see, in an ideal world you should hold the golf grip just hard enough so it doesn’t slip or move around when you swing. How hard that is will vary from golfer to golfer as we’re all different. If you have very strong hands then you may not need to hold the golf grip as hard as, say, an elderly lady. So the defining line on how hard to golf grip a club is by how much it moves and here’s a great way to determine your golf grip movement.


Line up 7 balls in a row on tees and then start at the first ball and hit it and don’t alter your golf grip and then hit the next ball and the next one. If you come to a point when you can’t hit the ball because your golf grip is nothing like it should be then you know that your golf grip has slipped when you’ve swung. If you can’t hit the second shot because of your grip movement then you’ve got a grip slippage problem that needs fixing fast.
The main key to your grip slipping will most probably be due to your top hand moving. So here’s a simple exercise you can do to help fix this.


Grip the golf club as normal. But just before you swing place a golf tee between the pad of your left hand and the golf grip. Now this golf tee should be securely in place by the pressure that you’re placing on the golf grip with your left hand. Once it is you simply need to swing as normal and keep the tee in place.
Naturally this can only happen if you don’t move your top hand grip. And this will happen naturally just by you being aware of the golf tee and trying to keep it in place. Then after some practice with this exercise go back and do the 7 ball exercise and see if you’ve improved your grip security. I’m sure you will find you have improved it. So try this golf grip drill and see for yourself.

Golf Grip Advice For Longer, Straighter And More Consistent Golf Shots

How you grip the club has a huge affect on the golf shots you hit. But don’t let anyone tell you that there is one golf grip that everyone should use, because that is simply not true. You’ve just got to look at professional golfers to see this. For example, Ben Hogan used a weak grip to help combat a hook problem. Nick Faldo uses a neutral grip. Then John Daly uses a strong golf grip.
Now you’ve probably heard that the weakness/strength of your golf grip is related to where the V’s of your hands are pointing. But I’ve got a much better way to check your grip and find out what works best for you.
First of all, get a semi permanent felt tip pin and draw circles about 1 cm above your top hand’s knuckles. So for a right handed golfer you would do this on your left hand. For a left handed golfer you would do this on your right hand.
Now simply practice taking your grip and see what your grip feels like when you can see 1 knuckle, then 2 knuckles, then 3 knuckles on your top hand. Also do this exercise with your feet together. By doing this you’ll always have a reference position that you can easily repeat.


By the way, a 1 knuckle grip is considered a weak golf grip, a 2 knuckle grip is considered a neutral golf grip, and a 3 knuckle grip is considered a strong golf grip.
After you’ve setup with each grip then hit balls with each of these golf grips. Incidentally when placing your bottom hand on the grip simply let it go along with what the top hand is doing. And do this so that the groove in the middle of your bottom hand fit’s snugly into your top hands thumb.
Now if you struggle in hitting one particular shot, i.e. a slice or hook, here’s some advice that will help you.
If you slice the ball a lot you should tend towards a stronger golf grip, e.g. 3 to 4 knuckles showing on the top hand. And conversely if you hook the ball a lot you should move towards a weaker grip, e.g. 1-2 knuckles showing.
But the bottom line is to experiment.
Once you’ve got a good golf grip that works well for you always check it regularly to make sure you’re doing the same thing. Because over time your golf grip can easily become stronger or weaker without you noticing. Also one final thought. Have a system of setting up so you check your golf grip strength as part of your pre-shot routine. Doing this will help to create greater consistency in your game on an ongoing basis.

Callaway Golf - Diablo Edge Irons


The Diablo Edge irons provide increased distance without compromising feel or performance. The lower, deeper center of gravity (CG) makes the sweet spot more accessible and is in line with where amateurs most commonly hit the ball on the clubface, generating longer, consistent distance and improved accuracy.


  
Features
A lower, deeper CG is designed to make the sweet spot more accessible at lower 
impact locations. This generates longer, more consistent distance and improves 
accuracy for more greens in regulation.

Delivering smooth turf interaction, the sole is designed to mitigate the effects of 
heavy and thin shots and improve the impact location on the face for greater 
distance.

Callaway Golf core technologies like VFT, S2H2, a 360-Degree Undercut Channel 
and Modified Tru-Bore work together to maximize distance, feel and playability.
