Why do i tend to roll my wrists and the clubface closed during halfway back of my golf swing?
Its weird, however i seem to keep a square clubface on my backswing, but my swing plane is across the line. Please help with a drill to overcome closing the face on the halfway back, or some advice please!!!
Judging by this question and your previous one….you have some wierd things going on in your swing……I suggest you visit a Pro and get a lesson or 2 to see what is actually causing your problem…..There are just too many variables that could be causing this.
Where can I find all the basics I need to know about a good golf swing?
I’m going golfing for the first time in a couple of years and didn’t want to make a fool out of myself. A pictured diagram of foot placement, grip and the actual swing would be perfect.
LOL @ the answer above! One of my all time favorite books on the fundamentals of the swing is David Leadbetter’s original book “The Golf Swing”. Basic, easy to understand.
Another suggestion is to go out to a local lake or pond and skip a few flat rocks across the surface. Pay attention and feel the motion. Replicate it in your golf swing when you play and you’ll be ahead of the curve.
do hands, arms, upper body, or legs power the golf swing?
I have been playing golf for over 40 years, very inconsistently. i often hit iron shots fat, my tendency is to hit irons on the outer 1/2 of the face (nearer the toe than the sweet spot) and most often pushed. My background is baseball which i believe causes incorrect hand and wrist movement through the golf swing. Baseball is a much “whippier” movement, snapping wrists through impact, driven by the hands. Wrist snapping through golf impact is a disaster.
Golf on the other hand from what i can gather is much less about hands and more about using upper body rotation to power the swing.
Are there any good videos, drills i can do to reinforce the correct hand/wrist movement?
The golf swing is usually initiated by the lower body on the down swing. The turn of the hips initiates the down swing and the rest of the upper body follows from the bottom going up. Picture your body like a twisted rubber- band recoiling back to its natural form. There is a video by David Leadbetter ,”David Leadbetter Interactive” that might be able to help you. It has a part where he talks about swinging a baseball bat similar to a golf club. Good Luck!

im going to a practice range for the first time tommrow and was wondering like what each club and stuff is used for cuz i have a whole set of clubs balls shoe etc or what are some tips about my swing?
First of all, don’t rush your swing. Start slowly and try to send balls where you want. Your swing tempo will decide what kind of golfer you will become.
Second of all, instead of trying to crush the balls, try to hit them softly. You will get the feeling of hitting balls crisply, then you can start a little harder with bigger swing.
How long does it take for golf drills to work consistently and for your own golf swing?
With the new drills, i dont seem to have as much distance with irons and driver as i used to. Why is this?
It can take several weeks of many hourly repetitions to groove the desired move the drill teaches. One reason your new swing may not achieve the desired distance is, you may still be conciously thinking about the movements you want to make instead of trusting your muscle memory to accomplish the swing. If that is it, your swing is not as fluid. Once you know how you want to swing the club, you can let it go to generate the needed club head speed because there will be no thinking.
Don’t really worry, changes take some time. Trust what you are learning will be better than what you had.

I was wondering if grip pressure is the primary reason for blisters in golf?
I have had about five lessons and have been hitting a couple of buckets a week I am hitting the ball much better but I am still getting blisters and wearing out my gloves.
It could be your grips. Several years ago I tried the corded grips and they were too rough on my hands and I played a lot of golf. I re-gripped my clubs with a tour wrap type of grip and the problem went away. Try a club and see.
