Slow golf swing is not a problem for most people, as new golfers will more than likely have a golf swing that is to fast.

Like most things in life, the first step to fixing a problem, is by recognizing it. Now that you have done so, comes the task of slowing your golf swing down to a powerful, yet controllable level. One of the easiest ways to correct over-swinging, is by doing a count while you’re swinging your club. Count in three beats, 1-2-3, by the third you should be at the top of your backswing.

If you keep this tempo at a regular and steady pace, than your golf swing will improve dramatically, although, make sure that this tempo isn’t too fast. Allow your body to swing naturally, but with force. However, there are other golf swing tips that will help you slow down your swinging pace.

The first, make sure not to concentrate too hard on delivering a hugely powerful and intense swing. By filling your mind with these types of thoughts, you will inevitably hit the ball with way too much force and ultimately you’ll loose the control that’s needed for a dynamic, and accurate, swing.

If you were to think about the force you expel onto the golf club in percentages, 1% would be letting the club hit the ground and 100% would be way too forceful. The ideal energy output with your swing is around 80%, by keeping your energy exertion at this level, you will be allowing your body to stay in control of your movement, while still delivering a powerful blow to the golf ball.

Golf Practice Tip - Practice Good Golf Technique

Practice Good Golf Technique Consistently To Lower Golf Scores

Consistency is the hardest part of golf. It is not possible for any human, Tiger Woods included, to hit the golf ball perfectly 100% of the time.

What good golfers can do however is consistently hit the ball very well most of the time, and near perfectly quite a lot of the time.

It is this consistency that sets them apart and even those at the top of their game have days when they don’t get their shots right enough of the time.

There is only one thing that can really help any golfer get that consistency and that is through practice.

But there is another matter that needs to be addressed when talking about consistency and golf and
that is - Consistently bad shots.

The more you do anything consistently the more it will become natural behavior and this applies to poor technique too.

The sooner you address poor golf techniques, the sooner you will be able to practice the correct methods that will replace them and make those actions second nature.

This is why it is recommended that everyone should get professional instruction before learning bad
techniques that will need to be relearned at a later time.

I would even go to the extent of advising a newcomer to the sport to have lessons before ever attempting to play a round.

Or alternatively, learn how to use one club well, probably the 7 iron, and play a whole round, or nine holes, using only the 7 iron and a putter.

I knew of one player who made dramatic improvements to his game by using this technique and he had been playing for years. He started playing golf with only the 7-iron and his putter, until he perfected his swing, and then introduced other clubs one at a time.

After getting his swing right with the 7-iron, mastering the other clubs was relatively simple.
