Golf Swing Plane

Correcting Problems With Your Golf Swing Plane Your golf swing plane is incredibly important whether you're new to the game or you've been playing for years and are just trying to shave a little off of your handicap. Having a proper golf swing plane means more accuracy and distance - and it can take strokes off of your game. We're going to go over how you can get a better plane; while this is a little different depending on your height and other factors. However, having an understanding of these factors helps you to improve your game. 3 Parts Your golf swing plane is made up of three parts: your backswing, your downswing and your follow through. If you don't have all three right, your swing won't work out right. Each of the three needs to be done right and then all of them have to be integrated through a good golf swing tempo. Even though it's important to keep practicing your swing, you need to make sure that you're doing it right so that you don't ingrain bad habits as you do so. Otherwise, you could be learning the wrong way - and it is harder to unlearn something you're doing wrong than it is to learn to do it right in the first place. Make sure that you are using a swing which is right for the way you play the game. One thing that you may want to do is to practice your swing in front of a full length mirror so you can really get a look at your stance and form. You could also record yourself practicing so you can watch yourself afterwards and try to figure out where you may need improvement. If you work with a coach or a trainer, they can watch you and let you know if there's anything you need to change. Whichever method you use, you should make a note of any problems you're having with your swing as you practice so that you can work on improving these issues. Don't Do It On The Course If you're having trouble with your golf swing plane, the course is not the place to make adjustments. This is usually unproductive and can leave you frustrated with your game. Just do the best you can and keep track of where your balls are going or any other issues you may be having with your swing. Keep An Eye On Your Stance Your stance is one of the most important things to work on if your golf swing plane is off. No matter if you've been using the same stance for decades, you may have started to address the ball in a different way for some reason or another such as an injury, weight loss or gain or if you're younger, you may have grown. Even small changes which affect your stance can make a big difference to your swing. Really, you need to evaluate everything about your stance, form and swing - but don't try to do it all at once. Your golf swing plane could be off because of something as small as your elbow not being properly tucked. You might also be doing something wrong in the way you shift your weight; this can put you off balance during your downswing or your follow through. Whatever the cause, fixing your plane will improve your game all around. * If you want more great tips to help you to improve your game, feel free to visit www.GlofLessonsOnline.org *
