The perfect golf swing. Does it really exist? Almost every golfer seeks a perfect swing that will repeat each and every time and produce the same results. Many people have made it a lifetime work, such as Ben Hogan. The perfect golf swing can never be developed by a human being. No matter how hard you try, you will alway be human and imperfect. What you should look for instead is the simplest golf swing. The swing that has the fewest moving parts will be the most consistent. A golf swing with minimal wrist action will always be easier to time than a John Daly type swing. Reducing and controlling your wrist cock will immediately improve your ball striking and put you closer to the perfect golf swing. A shorter arm swing is always easier to control than the overswing that most players swing with. Keeping your arm swing short of the point where it forces your head and upper body out of position will get you closer to the perfect golf swing. A golf swing with controllable rhythm will always be more consistent than the maximum effort lunge at the ball. A steady head and body along with smooth swinging arms is another step you can take to get closer to the perfect golf swing. Any step you can take to reduce the complexity of your swing will move you closer to perfect. If you only worked on the three things above you will be about as close as you can get to a perfect golf swing. You will hit the ball better and more consistently. As a result you can shoot better scores without a perfect golf swing. |
