Improve Your Golf Swing for More Club Head Speed

For the club to apply all of the energy we put into it into the golf ball it must swing freely through as if it were a pendulum.

Using the standard roll over fore arm actions this requires great timing, since the downward un-cocking of the wrists must be coordinated and timed with the rolling over actions of the forearms.

Due to this type of arm action only those who have been blessed with excellent hand eye coordination are able to learn it easily. These people could learn to juggle or do a similarly difficult skill quickly, where those who are not blessed with these skills from birth must labor long and hard to learn it if they ever learn it at all.

Golf instructors and driving ranges love this since those struggling to improve their play (most players) need guidance and practice to make small slow progress.

When the wrists are allowed to hinge freely without rolling the forearms amazing things happen, the ball goes far and flies straight.

This type of release allows the total transfer of the energy we put into the club into the back of the ball.

The ability to allow the club to swing freely requires a relaxed grip and the correct application of the right hand hit.

This hit can best be described as a tossing action of the right hand as it passes between the left hand and the ball. The right hand must not roll over the left hand, rather it rolls under it.

Done this way all of the energy goes into the ball instead of some of it actually hitting ourselves. This hitting of ourselves is a result of the club and left arm getting into a too straight line vertically as the left wrist reaches the bottom of its travel.

Often this causes pain in the left elbow area (of right handed players).

Zen And The Art Of Making A Long Putt

I'm sure you must have seen at least one Samurai movie in your lifetime. You know the scene, with the warrior standing erect and stiff, while tightly holding a sheathed sword in his left hand and the villagers scattering for their lives. The camera zooms in on his face, his eyes move slowly from left to right and beads of sweat trickle down his forehead. time seems to stop, and after what appears to be a lifetime, he slowly unsheathes the traditional weapon and assumes a fighting stance. Focused and unstoppable he then proceeds to wipe out the villains and save the poor villagers from the bad guys.

How many times have you felt like a samurai as you approach the green. A tournament deciding putt awaits and your partner looks on in helplessness as you prepare your mind for the task ahead. Slowly, you remove the putter from the bag and walk towards the ball. Ouch! That chip shot didn't go exactly as planned and you've left yourself with a ten meter long putt on a green with more hills than Rome. Genuflecting on one knee and holding the putter plumb at 90 degrees, your eyes follow the curves and contour to find the exact line to the cup. You take a deep breath to calm your nerves and bravely stand up. Trying to keeping mind all the factors that will enable you to succeed in making this difficult but possible shot you assume your stance.

Are my feet correctly positioned?

Are my shoulders straight?

Did I get the right line?

Am I focusing on the ball?

Will I keep my head down?

How much power do I need to give it?

Is my grip alright?

You can hear your heart beating in your chest and time slows down.

You could hear a pin drop. (If it weren't for the grass)

again, another deep breath, but this time holding it in, as you bring back the club head and take the shot.

You cannot see where the ball is going as it roller-coasters the uneven terrain but you anxiously wait for the exhilarating sound as ball meets cup in perfect unison.
