(This golf article on the swing is followed by a practice drill, and a link to a video tip.)

Have you ever noticed that while the golf courses the pros play are getting longer, their golf swings are getting shorter? Tiger’s done it. Sergio’s done it. Phil’s done it. Why? How can players who depend on dominating long golf courses give up distance by shortening their golf swings? Well, guess what? They’re not. Not giving up distance that is.

One of the most important things to remember playing golf is that the #1 variable in swinging a club - that directly relates to distance - is clubhead speed. In my teaching experience most golfers don’t realize this, or wrongly associate size of swing with clubhead speed.

It’s really this simple: given clubhead speed equals distance - with all else being equal - if my swing is big yet slow and yours is small but fast, you will get more distance than I will. The added bonus is that your shorter swing is likely to be more consistent than my big one.

In my writings I have talked a lot about - and explained away - many golf myths. One myth is the supposed need to get the club to horizontal at the top of the swing. Why should the golf club get to horizontal? Why is this the ideal position? What is the reasoning for this? Because it is parallel with mother earth? What if it is a little short of horizontal? What if it goes beyond horizontal (see Mr. Daly)? Getting the club to horizontal is an arbitrary instruction that cripples far too many players in their efforts to get it there, and distracts them from the primary ingredient of the golf swing, which is the downswing. What if I came along and told you it did not matter if you got the club to horizontal or not? What if I told you you don’t need to be a contortionist while executing the backswing? Wouldn’t that lift a big burden in playing golf?

There is irony in the fact that most of us try to make a big backswing, while telling our friends to slow their swing down. What if you were told it was okay to speed up? Should speed up? While many will claim that even on the Tour there’s nearly as many different golf swings as players, there is one undeniable common denominator among them, and that’s acceleration.

All good players accelerate the golf club to impact. Many a struggling player makes such a large backswing that they either get into a position from which acceleration is difficult, or they are so out of control that they unintentionally decelerate in order to try to regain control by the time they reach impact. Either way the result does not produce the distance desired, or the contact required. Deceleration is contrary to centripetal force while acceleration contributes to it. Suffice to say, two swings that are 90 mph at impact are not the same if one was accelerating from 80 to 90, while the other was decelerating from 100 to 90 at impact. Consider the racecar driver (or you depending on your driving) who slows before a curve in the road, in order to accelerate into it. Then consider a time when you were going too fast for a curve and had to slow down. Remember how hard it was to maintain control of the vehicle as you took the turn? The golf swing is no different. A decelerating club cannot remain on its intended path and will veer wider than intended. This creates a wider arc, the bottom of which is now behind the ball. Hello fat shot. Even if your club was going 200 mph before it hit the ground, hitting the ground will slow it down incredibly, not to mention all the other negatives associated with hitting the big ball before the small ball. Slowing down is not the answer.

Acceleration is the answer. Acceleration from an advantageous position. Interestingly, while a big backswing tends to promote deceleration, a short backswing does the opposite. A short backswing promotes acceleration. Your win-win. Mentally, it’s like you do not believe the shortened backswing will do the trick, so you accelerate to make up for it. Hello good shot. Being it was so good, you become willing to try it again. And it works again. The next thing you know, rather than trying to attain difficult physical positions (such as getting the club to horizontal at the top of the backswing) you are practicing accelerating the club. Imagine practicing something good. Aha.

And here’s the bonus to the bonus. Practicing (consistently) leads to muscle memory. Muscle memory leads to speed. Think of anything you do that requires muscle memory and that which you do repeatedly. Whether it is tying your shoelaces, or your tie, or phoning home, you do it quicker now than when you first started. I highly doubt that since you mastered phoning home, you began trying to phone home harder. I highly doubt that since you mastered tying your tie, you began trying to tie your tie bigger. I highly doubt that since mastering tying your laces, you began trying to tie bigger laces. Okay, I am pushing the point. But I think you see the point.

Surprisingly PGA Tour players don’t enjoy one luxury that we do. They do not have the luxury to mess around with their golf swings. We can mess around and only our game suffers. They mess around, and suddenly their day-to-day existence suffers. Ask Ian Baker-Finch. PGA Tour players have learned that by shortening their swings and working on acceleration they can attain just as much (or more) distance than they used to, and improve accuracy and consistency - two staples to life on the Tour. That is why we will continue to see a growing trend of shorter backswings on the long golf courses of the PGA Tour.

Right Hand Thrust Drill

The Right Hand Thrust Drill is one of several found on “Hit Down Drills!” which is one of four DVDs in the Hit Down Dammit! DVD series. The goal of this drill is to learn to accelerate from a shortened backswing position. It’s harder than it looks, but the results will be surprising.

Swing your club back to waist-high, pause a split second, and then use your right hand to “thrust” the clubhead down toward the golf ball. You will find you have now created sufficient speed with the clubhead that it follows through to the target, naturally, putting you in a finish position wherein the clubhead is pointing at the target, the toe is up, and the shaft is roughly horizontal (waist-high) and parallel to the target line. This position should roughly mirror your top-of-backswing position.

As you perfect this drill you’ll create more clubhead speed, the momentum from which will see a follow-through position that “naturally” swings through a little higher than the height of your backswing. It is important that this follow-through is natural, not forced or abbreviated.

It’s really this simple: given that clubhead speed equals distance - with all else being the same - if my swing is big yet slow and yours is small and fast, you’ll get more distance than I will. The added bonus is that your shorter swing is likely to be far more consistent than my big one.

In my articles I have talked a lot about - and tried to explain away - many myths about the golf swing. One such myth is the supposed need to get the shaft to horizontal at the top of the swing. Why should the golf club get to horizontal? Why is this such an ideal position? What is the physical reasoning for this? Because it is parallel with mother earth?

All top players accelerate the golf club to impact. Many a struggling player makes such a huge swing that they either get into a position from which acceleration is difficult, or they are so out of control that they decelerate in order to try to gain control by the time they reach impact. Either way the result usually does not produce the distance desired, or the contact required. Deceleration is contrary to centripetal force while acceleration contributes to it. Suffice to say, two swings that are 90 mph at impact are not the same if one was accelerating from 80 to 90, while the other was decelerating from 100 to 90 at impact.

Even if your club was going 200 mph before it hit the ground, hitting the ground will slow it down immensely, not to mention all the other negatives associated with hitting the big ball (earth) before the small ball (golf). The answer is not slowing down.

Acceleration is. Interestingly, while a big backswing tends to promote deceleration, a short backswing does the opposite. A short backswing promotes acceleration. Your ideal win-win. It’s as if you do not believe the short backswing will do the trick, so you accelerate to make up for it. Hello good shot. Being it was so good, you then become willing to try it again.

Tour players have learned that by shortening their swings and working on acceleration they can attain just as much (or more) distance than they used to, and improve ever-critical accuracy and consistency - two staples to life on the Tour. That is why we are seeing, and will continue to see a growing trend of shorter backswings on the long golf courses of the PGA Tour.

Just by the click of a button, you can buy your golf accessories. The whole process has been made so simple now.

But you have to be careful, because since you are doing the shopping so easily from home, it could also be a bit dangerous. Your credit card details could be taken up by strangers and misused and you would be left paying the huge bills.

There is also a danger that your personal details are given or sold to other companies. These people then harass you with unwanted phone calls and emails, flyers, brochures and all sorts of other unwanted material.

Some websites are so dangerous, that they put in a harmful code in your computer which is called a virus. This can destroy all your data like bank passwords, etc. and transfer it to hackers.

There are certain precautionary steps that you should follow when you are shopping online for golf accessories. Then you can avoid all the dangers:

Shop only at websites which are familiar to you

Even if a website is offering the best and cheapest deals, you should not visit the websites at all if you have never heard about it before

On the bottom right of your browser there is a padlock. If it is there, then it is a safe website.

In order to prevent any malicious code from entering your computer, it is imperative for you to have the best anti-virus and anti-spy ware and Norton is very good.

As soon as you suspect that something is wrong, immediately shut the browser.

Do you think it is a problem if you are a seasoned golf player, but have to travel a lot? Just solve the problem by carrying your golf set with you everywhere, and then you can just play your favorite game wherever you are staying.

In order to plan how to carry your golf set, the following things should be done.

- It is not practical to carry the whole golf set with you wherever you go. Take the clubs which are the basic ones and put them in your golf bags in such a way, that you can find them easily. And foldable golf clubs are definitely recommendable, though they are not as good to use, but it is worth having some clubs with you than none at all.

- You know how roughly the porters at airports handle luggage, so it is worth investing in good reinforced traveling golf bags, though they are a bit expensive. But it is worth the buy, because the bags are covered with metal and that protects your clubs in spite of rough handling.

- Do not forget to put your name and label on every object in your golf bag and the bag itself. In any case you do it for all the other baggage that you carry. If your bags get misplaced, at least with the correct labeling you stand a chance of getting everything back.

- Golf shippers like ShipGolf are extremely reliable for transporting your golf set, and you can be sure that everything will be delivered the following morning.

- Your regular set may not arrive on time, and for this reason it is good if you carry backup tees and balls with you.

How Golf Accessories Can Improve Your Game

Professionals playing golf often hire expensive tutors and also implement other tricks in order to bring about improvement in the game. An obvious choice is of course regular habits of practicing in a rigorous manner.

Nevertheless, the golf accessories are used to the fullest by most of the golf pros. If you want to improve your game and reduce your handicap, you should also follow their example.

One of the accessories used by the pros is golf weights, which they attach to the ends of their clubs. These additional weights enable them to practice their slow swings. There are three beneficial reasons for doing this -

Firstly, this helps them to develop the correct set of muscles as the resistance is additional.

Secondly, the extra weights and the resistance with it help to motivate them emotionally, because it deviates a bit from their regular training program. They are then also motivated to come to the greens in order to practice there, and not be irregular at all.

Thirdly, the golf pros learn to use the lighter clubs to show more power and even more precision in their shots, especially in the long ones which can actually cover a long distance, but are skillfully accurate.

A putting green is another important accessory of the golf pros, and they willingly invest their money in it. They can then have the freedom to indulge in their daily practices with ease, and sometimes they can even practice more than once in a single day.

In order to have a good grip over the game, pros often like to use the same putter and the same balls on the putting green and the golfing green. When other pros put and swing, they watch them very closely.

You should buy, rent, borrow or download DVDs or VHSs which have instructional tips of golfing. Just watching pros is an excellent learning process to learn how to play better. Your swings will then improve and you can then make fewer mistakes to help you get successfully to the end.

A huge thank-you for choosing to visit and reading the following article. Great choice, hope you will enjoy it.

Let us have look at the most important golf accessories that you just have to possess. If you don’t have them in your golf cart, these are the first things that you should buy.

You can buy various types of glasses which can help you to locate the ball in the grass. Such an accessory is a boon for rookies who keep losing balls or even for golfers who keep forgetting how many balls they have hit.

This is how it works. The glasses prevent any light from emitting from all other objects near the ball. Hence the only thing that you can see is the missing ball.

A good golfer, who likes to take his game seriously, should definitely have putting greens as it not only helps to better your strokes but also throws balls towards you. Maybe tees are too stylish for some golfers, but there are good ones available now, which you can consider.

The upper surface of this new tee is made from a material which is like a brush. When you make a stroke, the tee does not get damaged or torn because of the brush-like material. Your club does not hit it, it just brushes past it.

The scorekeeper which looks similar to the GameBoy is often used by hi-tech golfers to keep scores. You can also do a lot of mathematical calculations of the game with it.

Did you know that you can own a golf wristwatch in which you can see your handicap? Also with a golf ball cleanser, it is possible to re-use your golf balls, but the cleaning has to be done by a professional.

You must be waiting to buy all the wonderful stuff that you have read about. Was it too confusing? Just check out all the new sophisticated stuff that is available now in the market, and, believe me, every day there is something new that you can add as your golf accessory.

I hope you have been able to gain something from this article, thanks for reading.
