Now that golfing season is in full swing, you need to know how to improve your full swing.
Quite often I hear people saying they are working on their swing. Most people don't play or practice enough to groove their swings so I wonder what it is they are working on.
In fact, most people don't work on whatever it is they say they are working on long enough to show any improvement because of it. When Tiger Woods, and more recently Sergio Garcia made their swing changes it took a year or more for them to get the benefits. But they stuck with it and became better players.
For the average golfer it is the norm to go from swing thought to swing thought. Most of them work well for a shot, possibly even a round. Then the thought no longer works and the player moves on to the next one that does.
Each time the player finds a new swing thought that works, they tend to say they are working on the part of the swing the thought pertains to. It may be using the hands or swinging the arms. Whatever thought seems to work best.
If you want to improve your swing this year, you must first start by identifying the weakness you wish to correct. It may be your address position or your takeaway. Anything that you feel needs improvement.
Whatever it is you decide to work on, consider it a year long job. Start working on it now and don't quit until you hang up your clubs for the winter. By years end, any changes you have been working on will be pretty much natural when you pick up the clubs again in the spring.
Don't try to change your setup, grip, and takeaway all at the same time. Work on only one thing, but choose the one aspect of your swing you think will help you most if changed.
Then STICK WITH IT ALL YEAR even if you seem to be going backwards. Keep working on it every time you hit balls.
