Golf Swing Plane Tips: How To Develop The Perfect Golf Swing

The best golf swing tip I can give you is to simplify your swing. The less things you have to worry about in golf the better. You don't have to have a complicated back swing in order to send the ball a long distance down the fairway.

Try taking a half swing on your shots. What?....a half swing? But....Brayden I don't want to lose distance. Believe me, the ball will go almost as far and it will save you strokes on your golf game. This is because you are going to take away that slice and hit a lot more fairways. Ok, let's get into the details...

What To Focus On When Taking Your Back-Swing

One of the easiest things you can do that will keep most of your shots going straight is to keep your left elbow LOCKED throughout the entire swing. Focusing on this simple tip will correct that nasty slice. When you take your backswing, your chest and shoulders shouldn't be turning unless your arms are turning with them.

Here is a quick drill: Hold the club straight out in front of you and extend your arms out as far as they can. This should create a TRIANGLE between your chest and your hands. This triangle is the key to a consistent golf shot. We want to keep this triangle formed throught the entire swing.

Start your backswing and KEEP YOUR LEFT ELBOW LOCKED. It's important to keep your chest out and back straight. When you complete your shoulder turn your arms should stop as well. Stop your backswing when your left elbow is parallel to the ground. If you are keeping your eye on the ball this should also bring your left shoulder directly beneath your chin.

If you followed these tips you have just done a perfect backswing and 90% of the hard part of the perfect golf swing plane. Just remember these two things.

1. Keep your left elbow locked throughout the entire swing
2. Always make sure you have a triangle between your chest and your hands.

Ok....break time...just to make us feel better let's take a look at someone who has a terrible golf swing. Watch the video below and you will instantly feel better about your golf game :)

See your swing isn't so bad. You could have Charles Barkley's golf swing instead. Let's get back to business.....

Alright, if you followed my suggestions above we are in perfect position and ready to start our downswing. Your left elbow is locked and parallel to the ground, like in the picture to the right. Your left shoulder is directly beneath your chin and you have kept your eye on the ball. (See it's not so difficult...is it?)

When we start our downswing we just need to focus on keeping that triangle we created. Make your arms and hands a direct extension of your chest and shoulders. Keep that left elbow straight and don't let your hands get ahead of your body.

Practice this swing 100 times a day for a few days. Do these repetitions slowly and deliberately. Feel the way your hands are maintaining their position in front of your chest at all times. Hit a bucket or two of balls as well. With a little practice you will be well on your way to a more consistent golf game.
