If there is one question that I have been asked over a million times it is “how can I improve my golf swing“? I might be exaggerating a tiny bit on the million times but it is with out a doubt one of the most asked questions in my professional career.
My answer has been the same for over 35 years. “What is your mistake”. The problem with the question is that the answer isn’t always correct, and in there lies the problem. If you are going to self diagnose your golf swing, you better get it right. If you miss on the diagnosis you are going to struggle with the correction.
The 10 million dollar question is, how can you tell whats broken? I am going to give you a few things to go through so you can diagnois your golf swing and come up with the correct answer, most of the time. If you ask the right questions you will begin to see the correct answers.
You have to keep a couple of things in mind. If you don’t hit the golf ball straight there are four misses to the right (slice, push, push hook or a push slice) and there are four misses to the left (hook, pull, pull
hook, pull slice). The reason I am telling you is so you can see that you have to be very careful with your diagnosis from the start.
The very first question you have to ask yourself if you are going to learn how to improve your golf swing is, what does the golf ball do CONSISTENTLY when I mishit it? Believe it or not your golf ball does one or two things consistently when you don’t hit it well. If you don’t hit it solid and straight then it will have a pattern to the mishit shots.
I will continue and finish this article during the next post. How can I improve my golf swing?
