Positive and Negative Movements in the Golf Swing.
“Your golf swing will involve a number of body movements. All movements will influence the position of the club in either a positive or negative manner.”
Positive Moves (efficient)
Positive movements construct your golf swing in a manner that allows you to swing freely and unhindered.
Quality ball striking will only develop from these movements allowing you to improve your game through the whole spectrum of shots.
This is the way to consistent low scoring.
Fault Finder describes these movements specifically for you and your game.
Negative Moves (inefficient)
Negative moves trigger your body to re-adjust positions throughout your swing. Loss of balance and inconsistent strikes are a product of destructive and often harmful movements.
Quick tips often fail due to complexity of reactions caused by poor positioning.
The only way to permanently improve your swing is to cure the source of the fault. This will give you the longevity desired.
Positive Ball Striking
Quality ball strikers can hit and control the ball out of a greater variety of lies. Negating this skill is a mistake and will hinder the progress of the player.
The opportunity to use hybrids instead of long irons is fine for a player who doesn’t wish to access this skill. But for the true enthusiast and dedicated player striking a long iron is a spectacularly rewarding skill.
Allowing a junior to miss out on this learning process will seriously hinder the performance level of the player.
The introduction of hybrids for young players is a mistake as they fail to develop this skill and become content with ‘skimming’ the ball and not compressing it.
Remember to win you only have to be one shot better that the rest of the field. The extra skills you develop at an early age may give you that one shot advantage.
Tiger Woods, VJ Singh and Ernie Els all have the ability to strike the ball with great precision and have been educated in the game with long irons.
Positive and Negative Practise
Playing with an efficient technique produces a reliable consistent contact on the ball. Achieving this requires the player to commit to practise sessions, which, on there own may not produce immediate results.
Practising must always be targeted and motivating.
You can observe players practising ineffectively at every driving range, every day. Players slogging away at golf balls with no technical direction, just relying on the law of averages in the hope of hitting a good shot.
Practise sessions are difficult unless you have clear achievable goals.
These goals should reduce complications in your golf swing and allow you to feel the benefits with more comfortable movements as well as see the benefits with an improved ball strike producing the power and accuracy required.
