You need to visualize the desired result in your mind’s eye before taking that swing. Here are 10 tips to apply to your training in order to fix problems with poor swings. 1. Eliminate the slice

This occurs if the clubface is open to the path of the swing. At first, the shot is fine, but then in the midair it takes a right turn towards another direction. Here is what you can do to solve this problem.Use your wrist watch to square the face of the club. Twist your wrist


or rotate your arm so that the face of the wristwatch is towardsthe ground just before the impact. Follow this simple but effective tip to eliminate the slice. 2. Get the hook right

Avoid hitting the right side of the ball to prevent it from going in the left direction.The clubface needs to be closed at impact in order for you to pull this off. Simply put, the clubface needs to make contact with the outer half of the ball (that is the half that is farther away from you) in order to hook the ball from right to left.Concentrate on making contact with the inside part of the ball to prevent the clubface from being closed at impact. Choose a dimple on the side of the back of the ball closest to you. Try as much as possible to hit that dimple with the center of the clubface. 3. The push

This type of hit starts right and remains on that line. The problem with this is that the club makes an impact too far from the inside;your swing is more in than out. The push happens when the club gets stuck under the body duetothe overactive lower bodywhich spins open


at the start of the downswing. To fix this, you need to take a dramatic closestance, says Butch Harmon, Top Ranked Teacher. The lower part of the body needs to be immobilized so as to ease the movement of the totake a swing past the chest. 4. The pull

The pull is a short that starts left and stays on that line.The clubface is square to the path and so the ball flight goes straight left. It happens as a result of hitting the ball too hard with the right arm and shoulder. At the beginning of the downswing, the shoulder makes a sudden, jerky movement towards the ball.The club is thrown to the outside and thus result in an out-to-in swing at the impact.Keeping yourright shoulder back is one means of averting a pull.Make right-arm-only swings, your left hand should be on your right shoulderand holding it back as you swing down. Try not to smash the ball with your upper body. 5. Topping tee shots

This can be very difficult. The top results from loss of balance or posture that leads a contact with the upper half of the ball. What happens basically is that your shoulder and hips,spin out on the downswing. To fix this, keep your head still. Alwayskeep your left hip


over your left foot as you swing to avoid the spin out.Another option is for you to picture your chest pointing to the ball at impact.

6. The toe hit

Toe hits arecaused by an out-to-in swing and the early release of the club in your hands.You need to learn how to swing from inside. To do this, place a second ball just inside the heel of your iron when practicing. Take your swing with the main ball in mind and avoid hitting the second one. With this practice, you will learn how to swing the club from the inside more.Thereby centralizing your strike 7. The heel hit


These are of two kinds; the first is an off center hit that moves low to the right.The vibrations resulting from a poor contact cause a stinging sensation in your hands. The second one is the shank. Exaggerated in-to-out swing path through impact is the major cause of heel misses. Practice making your divots to surmount this problem.The Divots are not only for the pros. It is merely a myth.Keep your left wrist flat and point a hair left of thetarget.

8. The fat shot

Fat shot has a different weight, but despite this, they still have the same effect. The club head happens to hit the ground before the ball. To fix this, move the lower point of your swing farther forward. At impact you should feel the shaft and your body weight moved forward. 9. The thin shot


Thin shot happens when the hips and chest stop rotating through the impact. This causes the arms to pull and then shortened.To fix this,make half swings where you look off the ball purposely just before impact. Releasing your eyes towards the target will make it easier for your arms maintain full extension through impact.

10. The whiff

Anxiety can cause a golfer to whiff. When the golfer shifts to the back foot on a downswingand lets his arms collapse through impact; the clubhead is pulled upwards in impact and possible cause a player to miss the ball entirely. To take care of this problem, constantly practice swinging your ball with a penny in front of it. Your aim should be to hit both the ball and the penny. By applying these quick swing fixes, you should be on your way to hitting great shots. Without good practice swings it will be difficult for you, hit the ball and achieve your


desired results. Take practice swings to perfect your hit and don’t forget to divot in front of the ball.
