Perfect Golf Swing

Getting back to basics, clearing your head and just taking a swing acknowledging the basic fundamentals of the golf swing in my opinion is the best way to make a better golf swing. Learning a step by step golf swing is one of the easiest ways to make a general improvement to your game and take another step towards making the perfect golf swing, tailored to how you play the game.

You may be asking yourself, “How does this apply to me?”

The step by step solution can mean many different things to each and every golfer, but what I take from it personally, is that it is the practise of a set routine to make consistent golf shots time and time again. That could be focusing on grip, posture, ball position, takeaway, downswing and maybe even impact; however to each individual this method could apply differently. The philosophy behind this method questions a set perfect golf swing that can apply to all players, and supports the idea that the perfect golf swing will be different to each individual in order to maximise their ability.

By taking this “back to basics” approach, you can really unearth what parts of the swing require more attention, and what you’re already doing well. Remember that for most of us the swing doesn’t need a complete overhaul, just a few changes.

Let me break it down for you

You can break a swing down into setup, takeaway, downswing, impact and follow through, some or all of these fundamentals you’ll already have a good understanding of.  Keeping it simple like this will inevitably help you make a more consistent better golf swing. It will become the system that you follow every time you make a golf swing, treat this system like the ultimate swing trainer, and by all means seek expert advice, even take golf lessons, but learn and understand the theory behind it.  

The benefit of committing to the basics

I can tell you from my own experience that the quickest route to hitting a straighter more consistent shot, is by practising the basics religiously and developing your own unique routine. If you try to incorporate every golf swing guru’s golf swing tips, golf swing advice and golf swing techniques that you take in while researching golf online or learning from fellow players, then you can expect horrible results and will become very inconsistent in the way you play.

Keep working on it and it will come eventually

Be persistent, give it time, a simple golf swing may sound like a pipe dream, but it doesn’t have to be once you set up your golf swing method one step at a time. Your aim is to become repeatable and keep it basic enough that you know your swing like the back of your hand. If your sceptical then take one look at Tom Watson, he’s been utilising the same swing over a career where he’s won eight majors and twenty eight tournaments, and if you watch him swing today it’s the same golf swing that he’s used for the past forty years or so. Just remember the goal is to not have to rely on swing thoughts, just a sound method you’ve devised that works.
