What Swing Plane Do You Use?
What is the difference between a one plane or two plane golf swing? Moe Norman was one of the greatest ball strikers and teachers on the Canadian P.G.A. tour. His philosophy was to keep the golf swing as natural and simple with no overtaxing swing motion. The one plane golf swing is a pure rotary motion, with a body release as you continue to rotate left, after impact. The one plane is viewed as being easier to understand and implement when trying to improve your golf swing mechanics. It requires less timing or tempo, and it isn’t entirely dependent upon what your lower body is doing with regards to being coordinated with the rest of your golf swing mechanics. Such as your hip, shoulder and spine rotation, and because of this it reduces the amount of stress that’s placed upon your lower back muscles and joints. Therefore for older golfers it can help to eliminate golfing injuries.
What is the proper way to swing a golf club? A golf swing is an unnatural motion that can only be perfected through practicing. The two plane swing or traditional golf swing, is a continuous flowing pendulum motion. The two plane swing is the golf swing we are all taught. When your first learning, you need to develop faster hip motion and the timing of the lower body with the rest of your golf swing mechanics. Different golf swing elements do make up a golf swing. Everything from your grip to your balance, hip and shoulder rotation, proper stance, to external factors like wind and pin placements. It all makes up how you approach your golf swing. It is a repetitive motion that places stress on the same muscles over and over again. As a result, those joints and muscles will get tired, and can lead to different injuries. A proper way to swing a golf club can be learned and worked on individually. Unlike a baseball swing or a jump shot, hitting a golf ball is not a natural movement and you must acquire muscle memory only through practicing and training.
Building a golf swing is like that of building a house. You need to have blueprint plans on what foundation needs to be built first. Then it’s followed by the actual structures of four walls and a roof. When you look at the professional golfers you will notice that each of them have a distinct technique with their golf swing. Many of the pros have unique golf swings and each of them are able to at some point win a major event or tournament. This means that the golf swing is not about a certain way of swinging, but more about individual techniques that best suits them. For amateurs many elements will factor into your own specific golf swing. Your height, weight, the type of golf clubs being used, and whether you are right or left handed, etc, this does come into play for every golfer.

L.P.G.A. Championships @ Locust Hill C.C. June 24-27.
As of June 24-27- Rochester NY, will be center stage in yet another major championship. This time it will be the Ladies turn as they get their opportunity to host the L.P.G.A. Championships. For over 33 years, Locust Hill C.C. has been host to the L.P.G.A. on the regular tour. Wegmans Super Markets, has been the sponsor of one the most popular tournaments on the ladies tour.
In the past Rosie Jones, two-time champion of this golf tournament was quoted last year as saying, ” Without a doubt, the Rochester event is a major tournament without being part of the four major golf tournaments every year.” The fans of Rochester NY are the most knowledgeable about golf, and the players and sponsors do want to make this their shining jewel on the tour.
In 1973, United States Women’s Open was held at the Country Club of Rochester, it would be the last major tournament for the ladies here in this city. I was 17, and this is where I got my chance to caddy for the first time on the national stage. The summer before this I was caddying locally at the prestigious Oak Hill C.C.. Home of the 1995 Ryder Cup, 1956-1968-1989 United States Men’s Open, 1984 U.S. Seniors Open, 1980,2003 P.G.A. Championships and 1949, 1998 U.S. Amateur.
The Only Way To Perfect Your Golf Swing Mechanics Is By Investing Into Your Own Time and Energy At A Driving Range!

When your working on your golf game at the driving range, you first start with doing some stretching exercises. Then begin slowly by hitting a short iron that doesn’t take a lot of energy to swing a golf club. Continue taking your time hitting golf balls, and make sure to breath in the fresh air by relaxing. You don’t have to keep pounding golf balls to the point your exhausted, and your hurting from swelling in your fingers, hands, legs or lower back joint muscles.
It’s good to work on your golf swing but, it doesn’t have to be a workout like you would get at the local gym. If you would only take your time, you can learn a lot by just watching other golfers swinging and mishitting their golf balls all over the driving range area. I will watch for the different methods golfers will use when they swing their golf clubs, and some of the golf swings are fairly good but, others need a whole lot of work. I usually think to myself that if only they could change the way they practiced they would become so much better golfers.
What do you need to do in order to practice the correct golf swing mechanics? If you’re going to work on your golf swing then every golf club in your bag needs to be used practicing. That is the number one problem, that I see with the vast majority of all golfers on the driving range hitting golf balls today. Their only focus is about using their drivers, and trying to hit the golf ball out of the driving range. Their there to hit the snot out of the golf ball, so that they can brag how far they hit it to their golfing buddies. If this is what your doing, then I have some bad news for you. You’ll never improve your golf swing mechanics.
How Does Using The Right Golf Balls Affect Your Golf Swing Mechanics?

Manufacturers have experimented with club design for many years, enlarging the sweet spot and introducing perimeter weighting designed to lessen the twisting at impact and give the golfer more opportunity to hit from the center sweet spot.
For the most part these innovations have been reached through trial and error, using computer aided design systems. A dimensional diagram of different golf club design models does describe exactly how the club head rotates through impact and where the center of gravity is as the ball and club head meet at that moment of impact.
Another computer model is that of the golf balls trajectory. Taking into consideration a variety of launch angle conditions, some of which may seem like petty issues but which are of major concern to the devoted golfer. For instance, grass was traditionally thought to interfere with a golf balls launch and slow its release from the club head. What actually was found that when the grass comes between the golf ball and the club face, it is actually slippery enough to assist in the golf balls launch.

As the ultimate technology in golf balls and equipment continues to improve at an astonishing rate faster than any electronic product on the market today. Buyers have become even more confused and frustrated on what is the best golf product that will give you that extra roll, stop on a dime on the greens or give you the back spin needed. What type of golf balls are the best in giving you the pure roll on the greens and is consistent in feel and performance.
Golf clubs are now taking advantage of space age materials and methods. Titanium with carbon graphite shafts have now replaced steel for making long-distance drivers. However, waiting in the wings for their own turn is other new space age materials yet to be developed that can improve your golf club performance.
The trend towards having aerospace technology, and is adopted by sporting goods manufacturers is alive and well today. Improving upon the performance of golfing equipment specifically golf club materials, is now the foot race to becoming first in the golf industry.

Within the next month, spring will be finally here in the Northeast. There are clear signs that the days are getting longer and the temperatures outside is definitely improving. So what have you done to get ready for the up coming golf season?
Have you joined a gym to work out or have you been doing your daily exercises and stretches on your own to get in shape when winter does finally break? I know doing exercises isn’t the easiest thing to do, because it does take time or you have to spend money in order to receive the appropriate training such as coaching. I’m guilty of it and there are areas that I need to improve upon. However, to prevent injuries and improve upon performance this still needs to be done before playing in your first few early rounds of the new golf season.
The search for the proper way to swing a golf club is something of a science. It’s all about physics in regards to coiling rather than swaying, striking the golf ball with the club face at the correct angle, getting that wrist roll just right to finish with the follow through. The proper way to swing a golf club is also about biology and kinesiology.
Does Learning Through Yoga Mindsets Will Lead To An Improved Golf Swing Mechanics Overall?

For the serious golfer the game is a dedication to improving one’s golf skills and mindset. It’s an opportunity to get away for some 4+ hours from the daily grind and stress of everyday living. Most of the time this isn’t done and instead we bring our anger, frustrations and temperament with us out on to the golf course. Instead what you observe most of the time is frustrated golfers heaving golf clubs, making vehement self-incriminatory remarks, swearing, and throwing temper tantrums that would rival those of a 2-year-old.
Focus is the last word you would use when observing images of the frustrated golfer. Golfers who don’t learn to appreciate the mental aspect of golf will remain frustrated or give up completely before mastering the game. Perhaps no sport is more wrought with mental hazards than golf. The game introduces a constant struggle between the conscious mind analyzing, alert, logical, understanding and the subconscious mind that deals with the intuition and the implementation of your long-term memory with regards to the golf swing mechanics.
The constant battle of giving yourself up to time in practicing and the amount of depth for available instructions contributes to golf’s reputation as an intensely mental game. There are volumes of detailed videos and books on the sciences of the game. Golf is a multi-billion dollar industry of golf equipment and one-on-one coaching is considered incomparable to any other sports. Yet all the instructions in the world won’t help you if you allow stress to seep into your game. Even though golf fundamentals are learned in the conscious mind, they are stored in the regions of the subconscious mind. Yet by incorporating elements of yoga into different positions, you can develop the mental discipline that golf demands. The Flow of Concentration.
