Stick your finish to improve your balance

By SwingFix.com staff

Golf is sort of like Olympic gymnastics.

Well, not really, except in one way: in both, you need to stick your finish.

In this video segment, SwingFix instructor Justin Bruton of the Biltmore Golf Academy demonstrates a drill specifically designed to help you work on sticking your finish.

It's awfully hard to make good contact if you're losing your balance, and this drill will hone that balance.

Stay more centered to compress the ball better

By SwingFix.com staff

Many golfers are taught that the golf swing should include a weight shift away from the target on the backswing and a weight shift toward the target on the downswing.

Unfortunately for many of these same golfers, their attempts at a weight shift quickly turn into sways and slides, and the result is poor contact, especially with the irons.

In this video segment, SwingFix instructor Jim Williams has some thoughts about staying more centered in your swing and thinking less about shifting your weight and more about rotation.

Try this approach the next time you practice, and if you’re able to stay more centered in your golf swing there’s a good chance that you’ll start compressing the ball better.

Finding better tempo with your golf swing

By SwingFix.com staff

Tempo is crucial when it comes to playing golf at a high level, and it becomes even more critical if your game is just a little bit off on a certain day.

In this swing tip video, Martin Hall shares a simple tip to help you slow down your tempo: Alexander Cadogan.

Who or what is Alexander Cadogan? Apparently a famous old Scottish golfer.

But more importantly, a long name that, if said slowly during the swing, will slow down your tempo to the buttery-smoothness of a pro.
