A Correct Golf Grip Is An Essential Fundamental Aspect Of Your Golf Swing Mechanics!
February 16, 2010 by Parshooters · 5 Comments
A correct golf grip is an essential golf swing mechanics leading to a proper golf swing. The grip is your only connection with your golf club. The fingers are the most sensitive parts of our hands. Placing the club more in the fingers rather than in the palm increases the amount of wrist hinge action, which results in longer tee shots and more feel.
Where I have the most trouble with my grip is when your facing different weather elements. You have some grips that are great for non-slipping and others that feels like you must choke it to death to hang on for dear life. That is why I like Winn grips #1 grips in the world. I’m not a good mudder especially when the rains open up into a downpour. I have a tendency to lose the golf club completely, and many times finding my golf club being launched a few yards away.
Have you ever lost control of your golf club? This can become a dangerous situation for the golfers in your group. I remember a golf match in high school and this happened to me. I was disqualified for worn grips after the opposing team coach inspected my grips and was agreed upon by my own coach. This inspection happened because during my back swing I lost control of my golf club and struck my competitor in the chest doubling him over. According to the breach of rules 4-3b the penalty of disqualification occurred because it wasn’t during a stipulated round of normal play but, over a period of many rounds and they should have been replaced before the incident happened. More on this later, be sure to watch the videos at the end of this short post.

Like millions of golfers it’s a sport that can be played throughout your lifetime. Injuries in golf is common because it is one of the few sports commonly played by all age groups. For most recreational golfers the only form of exercise is playing an occasional 18 holes of golf.

Golf Tips On How To Drive The Golf Ball?
December 10, 2009 by Parshooters · 6 Comments
Hitting the golf ball off of a stationary tee is one of the most difficult skills to learn. That is why using a higher lofted club like a 2 or 3 wood is much easier to hit than a driver or 1 wood. A smaller headed club with a larger club face degree will elevate the golf ball much quicker, and with more control than a larger club head with less degree.
For those who feel they have mastered the game of golf will obviously tell you how important it’s to get that extra distance off the tee when shooting lower scores. As the golf courses are getting much more challenging and longer with distances. It becomes even more important that you find the right kind of driver that feels most comfortable to you and has the features that will help improve your golf swing mechanics.
It’s important to develop control and maximum tempo/timing in order to distribute maximum distance. Otherwise, it becomes much more difficult to shoot good scores and your always being faced with longer approach shots into the greens.
Are You Developing A Successful Golf Mindset?

Golf is the one of the oldest games in world history still being played today. It’s a game steep in storied traditions and played by the wealthiest to the poorest who can afford to pay for green fees and golf clubs. It was born on the heather-clad, rocky shores of Scotland in the mid 1500′s and the game has evolved through hundreds of years. Queen Mary herself is credited for the birth of the game. She would get so mad and frustrated at English politics that she would go outside on the castle grounds and hit stones with sticks.
Golf clubs were formerly made of hickory wood are now composed of military space-age metals and composites made up of graphite and titanium. Golf balls also evolved from feathers to rubber wound threads surrounding a rubber core are now as advanced as the golf clubs.
Only one thing that hasn’t changed in the hundreds of years since the sport began, and which can momentarily turn grown men and women into frothing, enraged lunatics who have seemingly lost all sense of decorum and reasonable behavior. That is the simple mistake of a golf club failing to connect and striking a small white ball properly. Sending it not on a straight true path but on a wildly curving arc into the woods, or even worse out of bounds. It has turned more than one Dr. Jekyll into a seething Mr. or Mrs. Hyde, hurling golf clubs into the air, breaking them like matchsticks over their knees, bellowing obscenities into the air instead of yelling fore.
How Can I Improve My Self Confidence In Golf?
November 23, 2009 by Parshooters · 6 Comments
Do you feel frustrated if you can’t drop more strokes in golf? Then your not alone most golfers can’t no matter how much they try to improve by playing or practicing even more then they have time to allow to devote to their game.
A golf mindset is critical, not only improving one’s self confidence in your ability to play the game but, how your going to react when you start playing poorly and the golf strokes start adding up. How are you going to feel when you lose out to another player’s bet or you have to buy the first round of drinks?
My friend Andrew Scott, a regular golfer like you and me had exactly the same problem and got even more frustrated after every round of golf. It seemed to him that he was suppose to practice a certain way on the driving range. But when he went out on the golf course his struggles became even worse. He started hitting with the wildest slices into water hazards, sand traps and out of bounds.
His power was null and void because he kept hitting the ground first before the ball. Most times topping and never getting the ball airborne. He had no control especially around the greens. He shanked a lot of pitches and chip shots. His self confidence was lacking because he missed a lot of short putts. There were rounds where he had over 40 putts. All caused by anxiety, fears and self doubts. At times you could say he was yipping which should only happen when you get older in life not when your younger.
Golf Grip Is Very Important Part Of Your Golf Swing Mechanics?

How important is the golf grip related to your golf swing mechanics?
It’s very important to make sure that your grip is holding the golf club properly. Without the proper balance in your hands your golf club can do a number of bad horrific movements in your golf swing from beginning to the follow through. It can happen without you even realizing it, with the worst being the deadly cardinal sin in golf the SHANK!
You can adjust your grip rotation to make your grip stronger by rotating your upper right hand wrist to the left and if your golf swing mechanics is properly executed it will cut down on the left to right cut or slice. If you have too strong of a grip causing you to pull or hook. You can rotate your wrists on both hands to the right and if the rest of your golf swing mechanics is executed properly it cuts down your pulls or hooks to more of a draw that we all strive for. Rotate to much to the right and now your back to cutting and slicing.
This is How You Make Millions With Your Golf Swing Mechanics?

What can hours of practicing on the driving range and playing do for any golfer who is willing to invest in the time and money? You can’t improve upon your golf swing mechanics unless your willing to sacrifice your time in hitting golf balls after balls on the driving range. Using specialized golf clubs for improving your golf swing or taking lessons from licensed professionals won’t work, unless your willing to dedicate yourself to investing your energy and time to changing your golf mindset in relationship to learning, studying and implementing the necessary changes for improvement.
With me it took a lot of time and effort in practicing 4-5 hours a day on the practice range, and another 4-5 hours playing 18 holes just about everyday in order to groove my swing and be able to play on the college golf team. I had a golf coach who mentored us on our bad swing flaws, but in the long run it paid off because for my last two years we were N.Y.S. champions and went to the Nationals. For a small community college that wasn’t to bad. It also rewarded me a partial scholarship to a 4 year school.
It’s something like 90% of the time your not going to be able to do it on your own. You can buy the most advanced golf clubs on the market today, but it won’t improve your golf scores. Most golfers have programmed themselves to swing at the worst possible tempos, breaking down with their body mechanics at certain points in their golf swing. The end results being over swinging, under swinging, head movements, feet moving, all arms, not bending right, not moving through the swing with your shoulders turning, no follow through. Does any of this sound familiar to you?
