: Comments Off One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to change 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 – Buy New Clubs
At one time or another, most golfers have thought the buying new clubs was going to instantly change their game. Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can help your 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 club give you a different feeling from your old 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 different feeling clears your mind but not for long.Using your new clubs for a couple of weeks and they won’t feel all that different so you go right back to thinking about your swing.The best thing to do would be to stop experimenting with new clubs.
As I said earlier, your best bet is to seek out a clubfitter and have him fit you. Then, work 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.Unfortuantely, most golfers don’t have the experience to determine whether or not these tips will work for them. If you don’t know your swing well enough, and you try these tips, you may actually be making your swing worse. 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.A tip like this may help you square the club a little better but it’s is not helping your develop a proper grip.You should be very careful the next time you go to work on the latest tip you find in a magazine, or from your buddy. 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.It it works, that’s fantastic!
Swing Fix 3 – Lack of Focus
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 lead to you being confused. Plus, you may have tried so many things that you can’t remember what worked and what didn’t.Even if you had some success, it may have just been luck.The way you can truly know if this approach is working is if your game improves well into the future.
Swing Fix 4 – Working on One Thing at a Time
The best way you should work on fixing your swing is to take it one step 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.To work on your swing this way, you will need to study a swing method or take lessons from a qualified pro.Working on your swing this way will make the changes permanent because you will spend more time on each posiiton without distractions.I know, most golfers think this is going to take a long time. When compared to the other fixes I mentioned, this really will be the fastest.
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.
