How to Build a Repeating Golf Swing – The Seven Keys

Improve Your Golf Swing

There are quite a few parts that make up a good golf swing. Over the years, I have focused on 7 key golf

swing thoughts to consistent with my golf swing. All golfers including myself tend to get over focused on

certain positions in the golf swing. A golfer’s ultimate goal, ought to be to construct a consistent golf

swing based on excellent fundamentals that are repeatable on the golf course. Let’s review 7 swing keys

that can help you build a consistent golf swing.

Apply Ground Force During the Golf Swing - A lot of beginner golfers lose leverage early in the golf

swing by lifting their body. Professional golfers do the opposite and apply even more force that gives

them a more stable base in their golf swing. Focus on maintaining and even increasing the force you

apply to the ground throughout the golf swing. More solid foot and ground contact will help you hit

consistent golf shots. Remember, a golf swing is built from the ground up.

Balance Is a Must - There are as many golf swings in the world as there are golfers that play the game.

Which golf swing tip can help just about every golfer improve their golf score? The answer is keeping

balance during the entire golf swing. Focus on making an 80% golf swing. Never swing any harder than

what permits you to stay in balance throughout the whole golf swing.

Duplicate Your Shaft Angle at Address and Impact - We think about several things in the course of the

golf swing that we tend to forget to just let the golf swing happen. Here’s a simple golf swing key that

will help you improve both the accuracy and consistency of your golf shots. Feel the angle of your shaft

in the address position and then repeat this angle as you return the club to the impact position. The key

is to feel as if you return to the exact address position.

Spine Angle - We hear much said about keeping our spine angle the same during our golf swing. A

constant spine angle is truly what separates the professionals from an amateur golfer. Maintain the

angle of your back throughout the golf swing. Additionally, keep your back side down during the swing

and it will make it easier to maintain a constant spine angle. Don’t forget, if your knees remain at the

same level throughout the golf swing you will maintain your spine angle throughout the golf swing.

Sync Your Golf Swing - When your golf swing feels out of sync focus on matching up your arms and body

during the swing. The correct backswing sequence is to swing your arms, turn your body, and shift your

weight. On the downswing shift your weight, turn your body, and swing your arms. Get this sequence

down and you will sync your swing.

Swing Tempo - If you feel tense to start the golf swing, there is a tendency to snatch the club back to

quickly. This is a tempo killer. Remember that a faster downswing is a good thing, but a faster backswing

results in bad tempo. Begin your backswing smoothly and you will improve your golf swing tempo.

Weight Transfer - During the backswing you need to transfer your weight to the right side (right hand

golfer). However, this must be accomplished without swaying. The key is to keep your chest and head

centered over the ball. Make a full turn back and start the downswing by gently kicking your left hip in

the direction of the target. Once you have completed this move all you have to do is fire your arms

through impact.

Make all of these golf swing keys a component of your practice routine. I know they can help your golf

swing become much more consistent leading to lower scores
