- Master Basic Swing Mechanics

The golf swing really is not that complicated even though many people make it out to be very complex. The truth is that a simple swing is often the best kind of swing. Taking a few lessons from a local golf pro can be a good way to learn some of the basic mechanics to help you hit the ball better.

Here are a few swing tips to keep in mind:

- Slow down your backswing

Remember that power is generated on the downswing so you do not need to rush the backswing because this can throw off your entire swing and you will end up making poor contact. Focus on a slow backswing, you can even pause for a tiny bit at the top of your swing and still swing very well.

- Loosen your grip

Most people grip the club far too tightly, loosen your grip and you will find that it will be easier to feel the club head and developing a good feel for the club head can make a big difference in your ball striking.

- Keep your head movement at a minimum throughout the downswing

You have probably heard this one before but remember that there will be a slight movement of the head towards the right in your backswing (right handed player). Throughout the downswing you want to make sure that your head is behind the ball so resist the urge to look up and see where the ball is going. Instead just let your head come up naturally with your right shoulder as you complete the swing.
