You Need Golf Swing Drills

By Patrick L. Jensen

How many golf swing drills are you doing? If you are like most weekend golfers it might not be enough to see a difference in your game. Here are a few golf swing drills that may help you improve your game.

Golf Swing Drill - Leg Drill

One mistake that golfers tend to make is trying to swing to hard with their upper body. While an upper body swing is important, you are loosing much of your power in your golf swing if you are not utilizing your legs. Your legs are a very important part of your swing and should not be forgotten. Once, you start to incorporate your upper and lower body into your swings, you will certainly see a dramatic improvement.

Try this golf swing drill the next time you are warming up for your next round. Start with your legs together and begin to go into your backswing. Once you are at the height of your backswing stop. Take a step powerful step forward and swing with your hips. Let your arms and the club swing through on the proper swing path with minimal effort from the top half of your body. You should do this as many times as you think necessary before your rounds of golf. Eventually, your body will remember this motion and you will begin to use your legs more and more in your swing. Golf swing drills for your legs are excellent.

Golf Swing Drill - Short Game

Today, everyone seems to be obsessed with the long ball. Becoming a long golfer is great but there is more to a good golfers game than hitting the long ball. So while your practicing, don't forget about your short game. Ultimately, it's your short game that is going to take the most strokes of your game. Even the longest of the big boys know that they have to have some sort of a short game to compete.

So, the next time you go to the driving range, keep that driver in the bag. Pull out one of your shorter clubs and hit one hundred balls at two of the shortest flag sticks. You can buy another bucket to practice getting longer (after all it is a driving range) but concentrating on your short game will pay off big in the end.

Are you doing enough golf swing drills to lower your score? Many golfers neglect these simple golf swing drills and their games are suffering because of it. If you are looking for more power and distance off of the tee, chances are you may be able to find some more power in your legs. But always remember, you can be as long as the pros but if you don't have a half way decent short game, your score is never going to be where you want it to be. Try the above golf swing drills and you should begin to see a dramatic difference in your game in no time.

Projecting to the target during the swing will not only help create accuracy, but encourage the body motions to swing the clubhead to and through the ball towards the target.

Torque It Up!
A good backswing creates torque and is achieved by rotating the body away from the ground using the feet as an anchor. Except for unusually flexible players, the knees, hips, core, back and shoulders should all be used to create torque. Once you get the feel of creating leverage against the ground, your power will increase significantly.
