One the most important things to do when learning how to complete the golf swing or trying to improve your golf swing is to constantly practice. The great thing is with these drills you do not need to go down the golf course or driving range to practice.
The downside to going down the driving range is deciding what you focus on while down there, as there is no point just turning up hitting a few balls, as this will likely not improve your swing.
So in this article I have provided a couple of dills to improve your golf swing which you can complete from the comfort of your own home, as you do not need clubs to complete these drills.
Golf Swing Drill 1:
Adopt your normal stance and pretend to address the golf ball, hang your arms naturally down over the top of your stance. Move your hands together with your palms facing out and the back of your hands facing each other. Your front arm should be on top of your back arm when the hands are in position.
Now start a practice swing and try to forget that you are not holding a club, ensure your hands stay together for the entire swing. Move with your hips rotating your body to the right, your lower part of your body should respond.
Complete the swing follow through and feel how the weight in transferred from your right to your left hand side, your right heel should lift off the ground.
If practicing at home, you can complete the drill in front of a mirror to really understand how your body should be moving during the swing.
After you have practiced for a while, take the swing action to the golf course or driving range and recreate the swing action but now with a club in your hand.
Golf Swing Drill 2
This drill is designed to focus your mind on how your golf swing should feel like which you can after a while recreate when using your club and hitting some balls.
As with the first drill adopt your correct stance and address position. Your arms this time should make a cross over your chest with your hands holding the top part of your arm not your shoulder. This drill needs you to keep your eye on the ball, so it maybe a good idea to place a ball in the centre of your stance.
When you begin your backswing feel how your upper body turns first and then followed by your lower body, then the downswing completes vice-versa with your upper body following your lower body.
As I mentioned earlier always keep your eye on the ball during the full swing, your eye should be looking directly down at the ball and over the front shoulder on the backswing and back shoulder on the downswing.
If you are looking to improve your golf swing quickly then practice these drills as often as possible, as no club is required then you could even spend 10 – 15 minutes each day practicing them. The more you practice the quicker you’ll feel how your golf swing should be completed, and then you can transfer this to when you're hitting a golf ball.
