No 1 Swing Fundamental

[SocketRocket]

I believe the number one swing fundimental in the golf swing is maintaining your spine angle.

What do you think is the No 1 swing fundimental:

Depends on the swing pattern you use

 

[In_The_Rough]

Spine angle is a good one. Also maintaining a straight Left Arm is another key one I focus on.

A correct grip

 

[garyinderry]

release the club head. i keep repeating this as its improved my game so much in the last two weeks. sorry for sounding like a broken record.

 

[DaveM]

A grip that returns the club head square at impact.

Reeeeeellllllaaaaaaxxxxxx!!!

Reeeeeellllllaaaaaaxxxxxx!!!

ill expand on this further by saying .....


make sure you make up your mind what you are going to do. if your in between a 9 or an 8 iron. choose one and make up your mind. theres nothing worse than swinging and thinking at the top of the backswing "is this the right club?".

 

[dave]

for me its the take away, making sure i get enough width else the mother of hooks rears its ugly head

 

[Wolfman]

Do not over swing

Often this is the cause for loss of spine angle, height movement, off plane and many more

3/4 swing rules

You are ALL wrong! By far the most important is Hit the Ball! Without that there is no golf, just a person waving about a metal stick

 

[FaldosJumper]

A correct grip

Yip... that's the one, the rest useless if this is wrong.

That's where a lot of hackers get caught up the 'hit' just swing and let the ball get in the way, no forcing it or hitting... well that's my view

 

[Dave B]

SB you beat me to it:thup:

Other than hitting the ball setting up correctly. You can have a full swing, 3/4 swing, 1/2 swing and a weak or strong grip but if your set up is not correct you won't be consistent in hitting the ball in terms of direction and distance. :fore:

In my swing now I see the ball just "getting in the way" at the right point of my swing. But if I was asked to describe to a non-golfer what I am doing it would still be "hitting the ball".

To another golfer I actually would even say I "Trap" it, it gets in the way, gets trapped and escapes (and makes that nice click off the iron face)

I really doubt a beginner could understand the concept of letting the ball get in the way, maybe an experienced hacker could, but not the ley or beginner.

Follow the 5 laws of golf and you wont go far wrong

So the ONE key fundamental is to follow the 5 laws... GOT IT!

Thanks Bob! Always on hand when needed.

BTW do I still owe you that beer or has it expired?

 

[bobmac]

Beer never expires :cheers:
I know it said the one thing, but

If you have one of the laws without the other 4, it's not going to be pretty.
To play well you need

1. Speed
2. Hit the sweet spot.
3. Good angle of attack
4. Good swing path
5. Control the club face direction.
