Proper Golf Swing Technique Tips For Playing Better Golf

Building good golf swing technique will help you become a better golfer. It's important to understand how the parts of the golf swing work but then also be able to put it all together into one complete and fluid motion.

I'll explain some key parts to the golf swing where having good technique is helpful. It's important to start your golf swing out right with a correct Golf Swing Takeaway. The takeaway is the first part of the swing where you'll start the club back. You want to have the hands, arms, and shoulders all work together in a one-piece motion as you swing the golf club back.

The Golf Swing Shoulder Turn is an important part of your backswing. A complete and full shoulder turn will be 90 degrees. The hips should turn half that distance or 45 degrees. One common mistake I see many golfers make is turning the hips and shoulders together at once in the backswing. You must keep the lower body quiet and stable during the first part of your backswing. Once the shoulders have turned half way then it is okay to allow the hips to turn the rest of the way in the backswing with the shoulders.

The Transition From Backswing To Downswing is another important part of the golf swing. Many golfers get confused on what should actually start the downswing. Too often golfers get too active with the shoulders starting to go forward and opening up the upper body too early before the arms have a chance to swing down. Syncing up the parts of the body correctly will lead to being able to generate more power at impact as you are hitting through the golf ball.

Your Golf Swing Impact Position is important to get correct. When everything comes through impact together, it is easier to swing your club straight down your target line towards the target. Avoid common faults such as standing up or coming out of your shot.

The Golf Swing Follow Through is the last part of the golf swing. This is where your weight should be shifted correctly and you are staying balanced in your golf swing. You should be facing your target and your weight will be transfer almost completely to your front foot. Maintaining good golf swing balance in your follow through will promote a better golf swing overall.
