There are basically three main issues to address when developing your golf swing. Those issues are:
1. Inconsistent Swing Pattern
2. Slicing
3. Distance (or lack of)
Before going into how to develop your golf swing, you need to first identify which type of swing you are using in your golf game. Are you using a one plane swing or a two plane swing? They both make a difference and if you are using a golf swing trainer you also need to consider which type of swing the golf swing trainer is designed for. You can find out by contacting the manufacturer and asking them.
Many golfers use the golf swing trainers that are made by Medicus and Momentus. These trainers help by “breaking apart” when you swing incorrectly. The only real drawback to these golf training aids is that they tend to be expensive which makes them just out of reach for the average golfer.
For the average golfer there are mainly three options that are cost effective and can help dramatically improve your golf swing.
The first option are golf training grips. These run cheap and if you are really looking for the best bang for your buck, buy one for your putter before any other club since the average golfer will spend as much as 40% of their playing time on the green.
The next option is a little more expensive but is also easily available to borrow. Setting up a tripod and a video camera along with a lot of dirt cheap golf balls is a great way to see where your own improvment needs to be. After you hit about 100 golf balls some of your mistakes will start to show repeatedly. The first step to correcting any habit is awareness.
Last and perhaps your best option is to educate yourself on how to swing a golf club correctly in the first place. One of the best resources to developing a consistent swing, stop slicing and increase your distance is The Simple Golf Swing. I’ve received great feedback on it from visitors to this site as well as others. I encourage you that if you are really looking to improve your golf swing, educate yourself on proper swing technique and get back out on the course to see how much you’ve improved.
