How to Improve Your Swing

The golf swing is simple but not easy.  Do not believe the storyline that the golf swing is the most complicated movement in all of sports. 

Whether you are learning golf or making a swing change, the following are the 3 required steps to improve your swing:

• Learn the model swing 
• Learn details of your current swing
• ‘Saddle time’ with feedback

Model Swing

Learn the details of the best model for you.  Acquire videos and photographs.  David Leadbetter’s “The Golf Swing” does an excellent job of presenting details of the various pass-through positions.

A test of your understanding of the details is to do a super-slow motion swing in front of a mirror and without a ball.   Use the face-on view and then down-the-line view.  Compare your positions to that of the model swing.

Your Current Swing

Knowing where the club currently is in your swing is vital.  Use video (the best choice) or a mirror to see what your swing really looks like.  Use an instructor that regularly uses video.

Compare your biomechanics and positions with that of the model swing.  Identify the stages of your swing that are different from the model swing.

Plan to correct the weaknesses in order of their appearance in your swing sequence.  Correcting early errors can eliminate later errors in your sequence.  For example, do not start with changing a follow through that is too steep when the first part of your take away is a flash to the inside of the target line.

‘Saddle Time’ with Feedback

Practice makes permanent.  If your swing is weak, you are making the weaknesses permanent.  Hard work alone will not cut it.  It has to be smart-hard work.

Your practice has to be structured, purposeful, and mindful in order to improve.

Until your body pivot is consistently similar to the model, hitting balls and playing is a tease and a source of frustration.  Ask Barkley. 

With that in mind, a lot of fundamental work can be done in front of a mirror, without a ball.   It is a form of stretching, golf technique, breathing, and yoga.  Our YogGolf™ system was built on this concept which has been great for senior golfers and people without the hours to beat balls on the range. 

Feedback is vital to your successful practice.  Video, a pair of trained eyes, mirrors, and problem-specific training aids provide the required feedback.

Important Questions:

• Are you looking for a Master instructor or looking to switch instructors?
• Does your technique not hold up under pressure?
• Do you fear hitting certain shots or from certain lies?
• Do you ever leave a ball in a sand bunker?
• Do you want to get to the next level and do not know how?
• Are you hitting less than 8 fairways, less than 6 GIRs, and more than 34 putts?
• Can you not  hit a low chip and a high chip with your sand wedge?
• If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the Zone Golf system can help you.  Contact Us

We can give you a checklist as you look for an instructor.  You do not have to use our instructors.  If you want, we can point you to instructors (independent service providers) that have worked with us for years.

Zone Golf simplifies the swing and stroke- most amateur players have 30-50% extra movement.  Removing the extra ‘Zorro signature’ and the ‘Fred Astair dance steps’ will make you a more consistent ball striker and better player.

Regardless what you hear or read- golf is simple.  Yes that is correct.  It IS simple.  But it is not always easy.  Let Zone Golf simplify your swing and your thoughts.

Most club players ( handicap > 10 ) still are looking for the correct swing plane, body rotation, and/or tempo throughout the swing.  Higher handicappers additionally have a poor setup position.

The following are simple Zone Golf steps to improve your swing:

• Learn the details of the best model for your swing- pick a Pro your build or somebody in the club.  (Zone Golf can provide a model for you). 
• Then practice with a ton of nonjudgmental feedback such as video, certain training aids, and a practice station.  This is smart-work. 
• Then practice smart-hard-work more than the others do. A lot of the practice does not require hitting a ball which does cause a collision of forces and can cause some problems.   Make sure you follow Zone Golf’s guidelines to prevent golf injuries, how to spot the onset of a problem, and what to do when you do get injured.
