Why Are Golfers Confused After Taking Golf Lessons?

You simply can not play to your maximum every time you think about the mechanics of your swing. Period. Every time you are ready to hit your shot and think about all the golf techniques that you learned, you become all confused. The downswing average speed is less then 2 seconds, and the only way your will learn is if you play naturally.

We are programmed to play with our faults and fixes and try to remember all steps before even placing our golf ball on the tee. We dont have to analyze the aspect of the swing. Of course, for beginners, I suggest taking at least one course to learn the basics but not 20, unless you want to become a professional. Remember on my previous article on ezinearticles.com, that average golfers plays less then 10 games per year. All they want is to have fun in the fairway.

I have lots of respect for professionals golfer. However they live with golf lessons. They simply can not teach you every aspects of golf which they took 20-30 years to learn as they would simply blow your head off. A little secret I learn myself is to practice 3 times per week on a driving range for every game that you will play. It is important also how to practice on a range using the proper clubs in sequence. Never start with your driver, how many times do we see that? Use short irons first and do not simply hit with eyes close. Try hitting a target and if there is none, use the distance pole, dont worry, youre not gonna break it, you have to touch it first, and this is where you will see the difference between professionals and amateurs.

Have a nice golf game and remember, relax.

Beginner Golf Lessons - Thumbs Up - The Hitchhiker Move!

We all know the drill - go from the hitchhiker position (thumb up) in the backswing, swing through the ball and uncock the wrists, and then continue on to the hitchhiker position (thumb up again) in the follow through. this is a favorite tip from davis love iii.

Here some high school geometry is necessary - BUT - don't worry. No homework here. I will do the math.

The circumference of a circle (your golf swing) is the distance around the outside of a circle. this is defined in the formula - 2pr , where p (pi) is the value 3 (remember, we are keeping it simple) and r is the radius of the circle which we assume to be approximately the length of your arm - 1 meter (or 1 yard if you are in the USA).

this means the total distance around the circle is 2 x 3 (the p in the formula) x 1 meter = 6 meters in total.

So if the radius (your arm) turns through a full circle in only 0.2 seconds, the clubhead speed is 6 meters / 0.2 seconds = 30 meters per second. So far so good.

Now lets put a golf club at the end of your radius (your arm). And lets use the same values as before. The only difference is that the total radius is not only the length of your arm (assumed to be 1 meter) but now the length of the arm PLUS the length of the golf club, or 2 meters (I am assuming a golf club length of 1 meter and your arm length of 1 meter.) So, 2 x 3 (the p in the formula) x 2 meters = 12 meters in total distance around the circle. And again, we assume a turning time of 0.2 seconds. The clubhead speed is 12 meters / 0.2 seconds = 60 meters per second!!!!

To say this in other words, by starting off with a radius of only 1 meter (hand COCKED) and then EXTENDING the radius out (UNCOCKING the hands), the clubhead speed is DOUBLED without any changing the the timing of your body turn!

In physics, this is called a surface effect. The same rotation speed with generate increased clubhead speeds at increasing lengths of the radius. Yes - for the purists - there are some subtile points I didn't discuss here. There will be a slight slowdown in the rate of turning to the movement of the center of momentum farther away from the center. Nonetheless, learn the general principle - Cock / uncock can double your clubhead speed. For this series of how to swing the golf club lessons, it is important , it is important to understand that the cock / uncock of the hitchhiker move is essential to every good golf swing.
