Why your golf swing mechanics are important

by Brent Bonnett

When it comes to your golf swing, it is composed of many different factors that work together to create golf swing mechanics. Understanding golf swing mechanics will help you determine exactly what part of your golf swing you need to work on. With the concept of golf swing mechanics under your belt, you will soon be on your way to scoring better and impressing your golf playing partners. To avoid slices, hooks, or golf shots that fly too high or too low, you will need to work on your golf swing mechanics. If you are a beginner golfer or if you are an experienced golfer with an important tournament coming up, it is a good time to learn about golf swing mechanics and what you can do to improve your personal golf swing.

Golf swing mechanics is one of the major factors in determining your golf swing power and the distance you will get out of your driver, woods, and irons. Along with equipment and golf strength, golf swing mechanics is essential to getting the power you want out of your golf swing.

Golf instruction is invaluable when it comes to golf swing mechanics. Especially for beginner golfers, lessons from a golf teaching professional can help you perfect your golf swing mechanics and fix any errors you have in your golf swing. With lessons, you will learn the best grip, stance, ball position, swing plane, and other essentials.

A great tool for understanding the best golf swing mechanics is a golf swing training aid. A golf swing trainer will glide your golf club along the exact swing path that you want to copy, and you can learn how a good swing feels so you can replicate it later on the golf course. Golf swing trainers and other swing teaching aids can easily be found at a number of web sites online.

Besides instruction, the next best thing you can do for your golf swing is to practice. Every week you should spend time on the driving range to work on your golf swing mechanics. The best golfers in the world are constantly practicing their skills, and without this dedication you wont see any improvement in your game. Keep in mind that the golf course is not the appropriate place for golf practice such as hitting multiple balls.

Remember, if you dont get your body in good golfing shape or if you dont play with golf equipment that is appropriate for your skill level and playing style, no matter how hard your work to perfect your golf swing mechanics, you will not see the scoring results that you want.

I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies -- Will Rogers

To a beginning golfer hitting a golf ball seems easy until they try it. Golf can be a sometimes frustrating, and time-consuming game to learn. My recommendation is that players practice patience by not hurrying to the golf course to learn how to play. Do your learning on the practice range where your mind will not be on scoring, but on learning.

All golfers should use standard length clubs unless he or she is short or tall. Standard length clubs allow players to hit the ball on center a higher percentage of the time, thus increasing distance and accuracy. In recent years, light weight Titanium driver heads and Ultralight graphite shafts have extended driver playing lengths from a standard 43-431/2" to 44-46". This is good news and bad news. The good news is, when you increase length, you will increase distance. The longer the club, the more club head speed generated , thus more distance. The bad news is, the longer the club the more difficult it is to control, thus less accuracy. To put this into perspective, the following information will be helpful. A driver hit on center at 43" = 250 yds. 43 1/2"= 262 yds. 44" = 270 yds. 44 1/2" = 275 yds. 45" = 275-280 yds. As you can see a significant increase in distance is achieved up to 44". After 44", distance increases only a minimal amount . CONCLUSION - It is not worth sacrificing accuracy for the minimal amount of distance gained past 44". Keep driver playing lengths to 44" or less

Keeping the clubface angle square to the target after impact breaks down the left wrist, restricting the left arm rotation. These faults set up a chain reaction creating other faults. The lack of arm rotation affects both clubface direction and angle,resulting in both loss of accuracy and distance. Finally, your swing is going at such a high speed that it's a physical impossibilty for you to even attempt to make any adjustments so commit yourself to doing the right things properly in your setup and takeaway because after that things are out of your control.
