Golf Swing Speed – Instructions on How to Swing a Golf Club

Golf Swing Speed, usually referred to as timing, is one of the most misunderstood golf swing mechanics discussed. So let’s talk about what timing a golf swing really means.

Timing a golf swing is when you swing the golf club back to the golf ball as your hips turn to clear out of the way. The reason your hips have to clear out of the way is to allow the club head to return to the golf ball squarely at impact and then follow through and wrap around you. This is the function of timing a golf swing.

Golfers at all levels have one thing in common; they are all trying to improve their game. It’s a never ending challenge to play better golf. One of the biggest issues I see golfers dealing with is slicing and hooking the ball.

For me, like with many golfers, when you hit an errant shot it is natural to try and determine what you did wrong.

Have you ever asked yourself one of these questions in the middle of a round?

Geez, I hooked that shot; what did I do to cause that?

Or maybe it’s, I really pushed that one; How did that happen?

You head down the course thinking that it was just an anomaly, but your subconscious is churning away trying to answer that question. Before you know it you are missing a shot here and there. What might have started off as a good round quickly goes south.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to make just one adjustment to correct either of these problems? It would be great if you could do this on the golf course during a round.

This may sound too good to be true, but I was watching a video from one of the training courses I have and was blown away by what I learned. By just making a small pressure adjustment to your grip, you can correct the slice or hook.

Golfers, no matter what their level of play, are always looking for a way to improve their game. In order to score well, you must hit good iron shots. Unfortunately, for many golfers this isn’t the case.

Instead of hitting their irons solidly, they slice or pull their shots, take poor divots, and/or miss-hit their long irons. These mistakes often leave them short of the green and scrambling for par.

Hitting your irons poorly ends up costing you strokes and puts pressure on the rest of your game.

If this is you, you need to learn to generate the extra 10 or 15 yards that puts you on the green.

Here are six Tips to help You add 10 to 15 yards to your irons:

1. Keep your head behind the ball

2. Keep your hands together on the club

3. Hips/arms are in the same place at impact

4. Shaft is ahead of the club head at impact

5. Back of front hand faces the target

6. Weight is on your forward foot

The key to hitting your irons consistently and adding distance does not come from swinging the club faster or harder. When you try swinging the club faster or harder, your arms outrace your body, reaching the ball before you’re able to shift your weight.

In order to make consistent solid contact with the ball, you must arrive at impact simultaneously with both your arms and body, using a slightly descending blow.

Next time you go out to practice, take a camcorder with you and video your practice. Take the time to review your golf swing.

If you’ve swung the club correctly, in the video you will see that your golf club’s shaft will be ahead of the club face at impact. Your weight will be over your front foot and your hips will be open to the target. These positions indicate that your arms and hips are moving together at the same time.

Don’t let poor iron shots ruin your scores and your golf handicap. Work on arriving at impact with your arms and body simultaneously, rather than trying to swing the club harder or faster. If you can master this fundamental, you’ll hit solid iron shots.
