Golf Tip
Reshape Your Swing
to Draw the Ball
Setup - Good balance is
required for a solid golf swing. Place your weight evenly
between your heels and toes. Arms should hang freely from the
shoulders and the body should be parallel to the target line.
Top of Swing - A full turn is
necessary for a proper delivery path to the ball. Make sure
your back faces the target and your weight has moved over your
right heel.
Delivery - To properly deliver the golf
club on an inside path to the ball, the body must not open
early. The most common cause of slicing is an initial move of
spinning the hips and shoulders to start the downstroke. The
right shoulder must move down as your weight moves towards the
left toe. As the club approaches parallel to the ground, the
body can then begin to turn toward the target. Many players
will feel as though the golf club is swinging towards right
field as they finish the stroke. This shape swing should
propel the golf ball to the right of target and draw.
