New Golf Balls

Most golfers are like me, they have a bad golf swing plane. For those golfers  with golf swing plane problems, this can lead to other swing problems ï»¿ like coming over the top, casting, and the big one, slicing. for golfers ï»¿ who suffer from this swing problem, there are basically two things we do ï»¿wrong. If you're into ï»¿ golf swing tips, you will like this drill.

One problem is as you bring the club back, the club will come up too high or too upright. Then it will have to come down ï»¿on the backswing and you attack ï»¿the ball too much from behind. This causes the ball to start too far out to the right. 

The majority of golfers ï»¿who have swing plane problems will begin by bringing ï»¿the club back too low or inside of where their correct swing plane ï»¿should be. As a result the club will be too far behind you, or too flat at the top of your swing. From here, the club has to go too far out on the downswing to get back to the ball,so the club comes down too far above the correct  swing plane. You come across the ball in this case, and the result is coming over the top, or casting. ï»¿ The ball starts too far to the left, ï»¿and normally ï»¿the result is a pull that goes left. If not, the result ï»¿is a pull fade, and you're lucky to ï»¿keep the slice in play on the right. Because of the glancing blow you deliver to the ball, you lose a lot of distance if you're like me and you have this problem.

Of course what we really need ï»¿to do is keep the golf club ï»¿on plane in ï»¿the backswing, and then bring it down on plane on your downswing. Here is a drill to help with this issue. Go to Home Depot or Ace Hardware ï»¿and buy a cheap pole about the same width as a piece of rebar (about a quarter of an inch thick) only not heavy metal. They sell a few ï»¿to choose from that are lightweight plastic or wood, get one four ï»¿or five feet tall with one edge sharp enough to push ï»¿it into the grass.Keep it in the trunk, you can use it all the time to help you improve your golf swing. Push it in the grass four or five feet behind you on the range, at an angle that copies what your proper swing plane ï»¿should be. The angle is about 10:30 o'clock on top and 4:30 o'clock ï»¿on the ground. Take some practice ï»¿swings with this ï»¿stick stuck in the ground ï»¿behind you, with your swing plane ( your golf club shaft) following pretty much along the line of the stick in the ground. 

Now take your ï»¿club back to waist level, the club should point at the stick about ï»¿four feet off the ground. The shaft should be horizontal to the ground AND ALSO ï»¿parallel to the target line. At three quarters of the way up ï»¿toward the top, your shaft should be parallel to the pole, not offline too high or too low. When you hit the top you should still be on line. ï»¿ When you come ï»¿down, as you reach the delivery ï»¿position, you should be in the same spot you were when you went back, still on plane. You have to look forward and backward to do this drill, keep looking backward ï»¿and forward to check your position. As you approach the ball when your shaft is horizontal, it should be ï»¿parallel to the target line. Now you should ï»¿deliver the hit ï»¿on plane, and finish with your ï»¿follow through toward the target.

This is an awesome ï»¿drill to help your swing plane. Practice taking it back to waist level, stop and check your position in relation to the pole. ï»¿ Come back to three quarters, is your shaft at the same angle as the stick? You can tell if you're doing it right. Take it back in two or three seperate movements, bring it down to waist level, stop again, are you in good position? Finish up, then start over and do it as many times as it takes. ï»¿This drill can really help ï»¿ your golf swing!
