Tips from the Pros

 

Balance and tempo are critical components of a consistent golf swing.  Balance during the golf swing allows the body to maintain the correct spine angle and center of gravity necessary to hit the golf ball solid. Good balance starts with a proper setup to the ball. 

Counter balance your weight by bending from the hip sockets. The upper body tilts forward as your gluteus maximus (rear end) moves back. Flex the knees slightly so they line up with the balls of the feet. The correct setup has been accomplished if your back is relatively flat, your chin is slightly up and your weight is on the balls of the feet. 

Once you have established balance in your setup, turn your attention to Tempo. Tempo is the speed of the swing from start to finish. Many players make the mistake of starting slow then swinging down too fast, tight, and hard. That's not how you get power! Power comes from centered contact, natural energy, and body motion. Good tempo will help you with all three of the power elements and is the “glue” that holds the swing together. A light grip, relaxed arms and body, and swing that moves back and through at a consistent speed and you are on your way to improving your tempo.  Your tempo is good if your swing feels under control and your greatest acceleration is past the ball. Balance and Tempo are key elements to maximizing your golf performance. Start your spring off focusing on these key elements and you are on your way to a great season
