Skills for Playing Golf Ⅱ
Yesterday I shared the aim, the grip, and the ball. Today I will continue to share with you more skills. They are including stance, body alignment, and posture. These factors play a very important role in the game, even directly affect our score. Now, let's have a look which we are right and which we are wrong.
First, let's talk about the stance. We should alter the distance between your feet - depending on what club you are about to hit. We can also change the position of the ball in relation to our feet. If our Discount Golf Gifts are driver and woods, our feet should be at their widest than for any other club. We may need to stand a couple of inches further back from the ball - as the driver normally has a longer shaft than other clubs. The ball should be just inside the left heel. If our clubs are Irons like the TaylorMade R7 CGB Max Irons, our feet should be shoulder width apart with the ball in the middle. If our feet are too far apart we will not be able to turn the hips and shoulders enough. If they are to close together we are likely to topple over. Well, if our clubs are short irons, the feet should be closer together when using a wedge. This will steepen the angle of the swing and create extra loft.
Next, we will talk about the body alignment. If we want to hit the target, we must be pointing in the right direction. Imagine we are standing on a railway track. Our club head should point along one line directly at the target, while our feet should point on a parallel line but slightly left of the target. But I am exceptional, I am left-handed, so I should be lightly right. There is one simple way to test this. Address the ball as if to strike it, and then lay the TaylorMade R7 CGB Max Irons across the tips of our toes. It should point along the inside rail. The club face should point along the outside rail. In order to keep this line as our swing, pick a blade of grass or divot a few feet in front of us that is on the target line. And aim at that rather than the distant spot.
Finally, we will talk about the posture. Make the first small move as if we're about to sit on a tall chair. Our feet should be shoulder width apart to make it easy to shift our weight. To make sure we have the right posture follow this routine:
Grip the club then raise it until it is parallel to the ground and we are standing upright.
Lower the club head to the ground by bending forward from the hips. Stop when the club head touches the grass.
Flex the knees just enough to create tension in the thighs.
Do not bend our knees too far - we should be able to flex them without reducing our height.
We are now ready to make our first swing.
