Introduction The important key to scoring well in golf is being able to predict where your ball will land when you hit it. Obviously, the more repeatable your swing is, the easier this act of prediction becomes.

But if you jumble your mind with too many swing thoughts, you'll struggle to develop any kind of consistency. What you only need to do is focus on a handful of basics; then the rest of your swing will happen automatically. Most of the people think that the most eective way to develop a consistent golf swing is to stand on the range whacking balls until you get it right. But the best way to develop a consistent golf swing is to break the swing down into number of steps.

Shorten Your Backswing Erratic shots, a golf swing that is not reliable or powerful, and doesn't hold up under pressure or from round to round. Slow down and limit the length of your backswing for more consistency.

The purpose of the backswing is to coil the body and set the club in position for a powerful downswing. You don't hit the ball with your backswing, you hit the ball on the downswing. A backswing that is too quick, or too long, can easily get the club out of position, and can prevent you from storing the energy needed for a powerful, consistent downswing.

Make a Bigger Hip Turn The Hips are described as one of the most important parts of the body. Their turning motion provides the rotation which gives the swing it's power. Turn the hips well in the Backswing to gain easy distance.

Unfortunately, the hips do not get used enough in the swing by most golfers. Usually, it is the hands and arms that drive the swing. In golfers who are lacking in strength, exibility or suer from injuries in the upper body, the hips are even more important as power from the other areas becomes even more limited. A big hip turn means that the shoulders can coil backwards more and allows the hips to turn before any other part of the body in the downswing, allowing the whole body to attack the golf ball

Maintain Your Spine Angle Maintaining the angle of your spine throughout your golf swing is a critical component of being able to consistently hit the ball straight. When your spine angle remains ďŹ xed throughout the swing, the club face is more likely to be level at impact and thus give you a more solid shot. Regularly practicing swing drills will help your back muscles memorize the feeling of the exact spine angle you need for your club length.

By keeping your spine straight on the same angle, your ability to return the club face to square contact with the golf ball ensures a more accurate shot. If your spine position moves, it will be harder to return the club face to a consistent position at impact with the ball.

Release With Your Chest Practice turning your chest though the ball and ďŹ nishing by facing the target. This action completes the rotation of the body through impact and maximizes club head speed down the hitting line. As an exercise, focus on turning your chest faster which should feel like your arms and club are being dragged through the ball. It should feel strange as your chest starts to turn first when your arms drop in the downswing.

Of course a straight arm, at wrist and lagging release are also key components for your successful swing.
