One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to fix my golf swing.” Below, I have outlined the various methods.After going through them, it’s going to be up to you to decide which approach is the best for you.
Swing Fix 1 – Buying New Equipment
One of the things everyone has tried at one time or another is to buy new clubs in the hopes that their game will change. Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can improve your golf game if you’re playing the wrong clubs, or your clubs are not properly fitted to you and your swing. The best thing you can do, is to seek out a professional clubfitter to have your swing checked and club professtionally fitted to you.
There’s another little know way that buying new clubs can fix your swing. New clubs feel different from your current clubs. This means that when you hit shots with them, you’re thinking so much about how the new club feels that you aren’t thinking of how you’re swinging.This new feeling totally clears your mind but it doesn’t last long.A couple of weeks after using your new clubs, they don’t feel all that different so you start thinking about your swing again. My advice here is to quit trying new clubs.
As I mentioned earlier, try to find a professional clubfitter and get fitted.Then, stay focused on working on your swing.
Swing Fix 2 – Swing Tips
We’ve all picked up the latest golf magazine and tried the latest golf tips hoping they will magically get our game back on track.The thing is, most golfers are not experienced enough to determine if these tips would benefit their swing. If you feel that you are not experienced enough, and you keep trying these tips, you make do more harm than good. Plus, a tip is just a tip.It’s not necessarily going to help your swing fundamentals.
An example would be to try a stonger grip.Even though a tip like this may help you sqaure the clubface better through impact, you are still not doing the correct grip.Make sure you’re very careful the next time you experiement with one of these tips from your friend, or in magazines. A good idea would be to discuss the tip with your head pro or teaching pro first to see if it would be a good fit for your game.Only then should you try it.If it works, great!
Swing Fix 3 – Trouble Focusing
So many people are looking for the instant answer that they fall into the trap of trying way too many things all at once. This approach is like throwing mud against the wall hoping it will stick.Unfortunately, this will be too confusing. Plus, you may have tried so many things that you can’t remember what worked and what didn’t. Even if you did find something that worked, it may have been luck.The only way you truly know if this way of working on your swing is a success is if you remain successful in the future.
Swing Fix 4 – Only Work on 1 Thing
The best way to work on swing changes is to work on one thing at a time. In doing so, you stay focused only on that thing which means you aren’t going to experiment and try 5 different things at once.If you’re going to work on your swing this way, then you are going to need a swing coach or a method to follow.Working on your swing this way will make the changes permanent because you will spend more time on each posiiton without distractions. Now, I know a lot of people are think this will take too long.When you compare way of fixing your swing to the others, you really will getter better, faster this way.
That’s because the other tips only give you a temporary fix whereas, working on each piece of your swing, develops proper fundamentals that you can take with you long into the future.
