PRE-SWING Fundamentals- Grip, Aim, and Setup/Posture Keys to a good swing are sound pre-swing fundamentals:
These fundamentals are important to allow the club to swing and your body to move properly. Incorrect placement of your hands, grip pressure, poor alignment, or not proper posture will lead to swing faults. These areas will always need your attention to ensure positions are correct. It's easy to get off track! Using a mirror at home is a great way to check your posture. On the range use alignment rods on the ground to verify your alignment is correct. Do 5 minutes a day of only grip placement and tension awareness holding the club. Check out the videos below.
Grip- Placement more in fingers vs. palms (lower in hand), awareness to maintain same pressure during entire swing, no tighter than a 4 on a scale of 1-10 (tightest 10)
Aim- Feet, Knees, Hips, and Shoulders are parallel to the target line, use aiming lines on clubface - square pointing down target line with leading edge of clubface. Use an intermediate target (a few feet in front of ball) to aim down an imaginary line to target. Use alignment rods when practicing to check your aim. Tour pros always practice their alignment. Watch them on the range.
Setup/Posture- Tilt hip bones downward to point toward ground, feet shoulder width apart, athletic balance, slight knee flex, arms hang down soft not firm. If your hamstring or hip flexors are tight it will make a proper posture more difficult for you.
