Full Swing - Golf Training Aids

 A full swing is a complex rotation of the body aimed at accelerating the club head to a great speed. Putts and short chips are ideally played without much movement of the body, but most other golf shots are played using variants of the full golf swing. Consisting of a backswing, a downswing in which the ball is hit, and a follow through, the full golf swing is used in tee and fairway shots. For simplicity the following instructions are for right-handed players. At address, a golfer stands with the left shoulder and hip pointing in the intended direction of ball flight, with the ball before the feet. The club is held with both hands, right below left for right-handed players, the club head resting on the ground behind the ball, hips and knees somewhat flexed, and the arms hanging from the shoulders. The backswing for a right handed player is a rotation to the right consisting of a shifting of the player's body weight to the right side, a turning of the pelvis and shoulders, a lifting of the arms and a flexing of the elbows and wrists. At the end of the backswing the hands are above the right shoulder, with the club pointing more or less in the intended direction of ball flight. The downswing is the culmination of the golf swing where you see the results of proper alignment, stance, grip and backswing. The downswing happens in less than a second and requires a fluid movement of your body in a powerful and unified sequence of events. After the ball is hit, the follow-through stage consists of a continued rotation to the left. At the end of the swing, the weight has shifted almost entirely to the left foot, the body is fully turned to the left and the hands are above the left shoulder with the club hanging down over the players' back.  Our golf training aids goals are to help you to not only develop good habits, but also to help train your body for flexibility, balance capabilities, strength, endurance, and power to perform the mechanics of the swing.

Putting - Golf Training Aids

Putting requires touch and finesse. Your putting stance will normally be the narrowest for any shot you hit. Most good players address the ball so that their weight is balanced slightly toward the inside of their left heel. Generally you will play your ball somewhere between the center of your stance and the left instep. The putting grip is different than the grip used for full shots and since the putter is the shortest club in the bag, you will have to tilt more from the waist than on a normal shot. The object is to strike the ball with the club head so that it rolls surely and truly to the target. Judging correctly the effect variations in grass, terrain, and moisture will have on a putted ball is also an important facet of putting. Putting can win or lose the hole or game, so it is critical that you develop a strong short game. IN THE HOLE!

Tempo - Golf Training Aids

Successful golfers have the ability to swing every club at a consistent tempo and with great balance. Rhythm and balance are linked. Great rhythm allows you to properly sequence your body motion and arrive at impact in a position of leverage and power. The key to consistency is to maintain your balance and use a smooth rhythm. Swing tempo varies with each individual and ranges from fast to medium to slow to anything in between. Our golf training aids will assist you in finding your rhythm and balance.

Balance - Golf Training Aids

To create a golf swing that produces both consistency and power, you must maintain balance throughout the entire swing. Good balance is essential to consistent shots whether they are putts, chips, or full swings. The key to achieving balance is to set yourself up with your weight centered over the balls of your feet. Practice finding your balance just a couple of minutes a day with golf training aids from IN THE HOLE! Golf.
