What part of my golf swing should i focus on to hit the ball clean consistently?
Al asked:
I know you have to hit balls till your hands bleed but should I concentrate on ball placement or swing tempo or wrist movement or swing arc or body position….maybe the question i should ask is what should i focus on first….i have played golf for years and have found some clubs im comfortable with….id like to hear what has helped other casual golfers improve their game….THANKS!

Al-
The most important thing in a golf swing is a nice, smooth tempo.
You should always have only one thought in your head while you are swinging, whether it be tempo, weight transfer, straight-left arm, ect.
As far as hitting the ball crisp, a smooth swing should be your #1 priority. When you are practicing, you can even count it out. 1…2…3 on the way back 1…2..3 on the way forward.
Good luck!

i also think swing tempo is the key, keep the speed consistent throughout the swing, try to emulate a swing like Ernie Els. Also remember to keep your head still and don’t have too big a backswing

The golf swing is not a series of steps put together to hit a ball.The golf swing is a fluid motion starting with proper grip, then the address position. The aim is to hit the intended target. When set, you initiate some movement which triggers the back swing and the body turn to a top position where the club head and shaft point to the intended target and the wrists are cocked. Then there is a gradually accelerated down swing starting with the planting of the forward foot, turning the body bringing the club to the release point where the wrists power through the ball finishing the follow thru. One doesn’t have to hit balls until the hands bleed.You just have to develop the proper tempo for your personality, your dexterity and your talent.

First look up the one piece take away.
Then practice it until you don’t have to think about it because its natural.
then (for right handed player) you take the club in your left hand. take the club into your normal back swing until you arm is parallel with the ground and the but of the club is facing the ground.( this is a very powerful spot if your can get here in your downswing.) now make a a follow threw all the way to the ball with your hand while keeping the same angle between the club and your arm. now do this a few times until you get the feel for it then on your last time make the full follow threw.
This is a drill for lag if you get both of the things i said you will hit it further with a lot of consistency

Do you video tape your swing when you go to the driving range?
That should give you a personalised idea of what needs to be better
Good luck

your posture.
For good posture you have to be aligned correctly.
Balanced correctly.
Holding your hands in the right position (naturally hanging toward your mid line).
The ball has to be located in a comfortable position between your legs allowing for a natural tilt down from the target.
You will be in an athletic position which will allow you to be more aggressive with your swing and maintain balance back and through.
It’s all posture….

Making contact… No matter how smooth your swing is, if you don’t make solid contact it won’t matter.

you must learn where the bottom of your swing is. pay attention to your practice swing. It should be directly below (in line) with your sternum. this will tell you where the ball should be in your stance. Find your balance, it will be more toward your heels if you have a tendency to raise up while swinging. Keep your chin as high as you can while still clearly seeing the ball. Now….SWING the club and focus on one thing only….tempo, you owe me a beer pal…. : )

You need to focus on the transfer of your body weight through the motion and also keep focus on the ball.
