Improve Your Golf Swing

By Jerry Jones

By now you recognize that I'm fully hung up on angles with the golf swing. And that I see golf swing instruction ignoring this most important segment on a regular basis.

It drives me nuts.

One good way to really make certain that you dismiss your angles in the golf swing too early is to have a conscience objective inside your mind to swing the clubhead.

This can give you proof that releasing the angles too early is a bad move for a person that plays golf. Maintaining angles through impact is the key to great ball striking. The problem has been, the written word provides less than adequate golf swing instruction for this vital move.

It's extremely tough to get the message through to a reader. It is far better to be one on one, on the range, where you can actually see these angles. But since that is not possible, I continue to try and figure out ways to describe the angles and also methods for you all to try to see if you can get the idea.

You won't believe how magical it is to maintain these angles, just for a few golf swings. The ball will jump of your club like you have never experienced before.

So, with that in mind.. Let's try this. From this point forward release the idea that you are swinging the clubhead. You do not need to do that, nor should you.

It is far more reliable to swing your hands. Once you possess a nice plane to swing on. Start the whole thing by swinging your hands and not the clubhead.

You see, when you swing the clubhead, you'll almost always have the clubhead moving a lot fater than your hands. And the result is that the clubhead will out race your hands to the impact position. In other words, the clubhead will be ahead of your hands.

This is an early release position. A very serious power drain, and can lead to an over the top move. Which can and most often does, lead to a slice. UGH!

So keeping it simple. Make the proper wrist angle at setup but pushing your right wrist bent. Move the angle into the backswing with your shoulders maintaining the angle between the back of your right hand and your right forearm.
