Before you chase distance, chase balance. The golf swing is a dance between control and freedom; your body moves like a pendulum.
“Power follows grace.”
Setup & Stance
- Feet shoulder-width apart, weight balanced evenly between balls and heels.
- Align hips and shoulders parallel to the target line.
- Slight knee flex with a straight but relaxed spine.
Grip & Alignment
- Form a neutral grip – left hand (for right-handed golfers) leads, with thumb running down the shaft.
- Right hand wraps gently over, lifeline covering the left thumb.
- Clubface square to the target; align with an intermediate point just ahead.
Swing Motion
- Takeaway: begin with one-piece motion, clubhead low and slow along the ground.
- Backswing: rotate your shoulders while keeping your head still; allow wrists to hinge naturally.
- Follow-through: accelerate through the ball; finish balanced with chest facing the target.
Practice Habits
- Start your range session with half-swings to warm up rhythm.
- Integrate a simple pre-shot routine – deep breath, two practice swings, visualize your shot.
- Finish each practice with short pitches or chips to reinforce tempo.
A smooth swing isn’t built overnight. Embrace the journey; let rhythm guide you, and power will follow naturally.
