Golf Swing Speed

Hi, Rodney here.  I am about to Explain to you a simple drill to help you strengthen the sequence of your transition.  A common fault in golf is where to begin the downswing, either the club head will move first or the upper body will move first.  It could create a variety of problems: (over the top, steep, loss of club head speed, early releasing.)
So, pro-transition could cause many problems.  I am going to Show you the correct sequence of the downswing. I want to do the drill called waist-high swings.  You're going to bring the club to about parallel to the ground. Basically from here, you're going to learn how to sequence your downswing.

You're going to learn to start the downswing with a rotation and a weight shift to your left foot.  As you're doing this, the shoulder shouldn't be moving.  The arms and the club should remain stationary also.  This will be gaining some separation between lower body and upper body.  Then, your shoulders will follow that hip rotation, and your arms, and then lastly, the club.

When you find yourself doing it correctly, even from a short swing stationary position, you need to be able to compress the ball and create some club head speed. If you've got the fault of starting the swing with your club head, you might discover it very difficult to start with.  You might still start the downswing from this position with the club head, but you won't be able to create a solid contact, and it will be a very weak ball flight.  Keep working on it.  Continue learning from here to start the downswing with your lower body rather than the club head and the upper body.  From here, simply swing through,let the components (the shoulders, arms, and club head) follow that initial movement from the lower body.  You have to create a few pumps of the hips, one, two, three, before you go. Practice it until you can create some good speed from this static position.  You've got to feel for the correct sequence and add that same feeling to your full swing.

Here is a video to demonstration what I've just said

Best Exercise Tips for Golfers

Best Exercise Tips for Golfers Only

If you are thinking of starting to play golf after leading a  sedentary lifestyle you're going to discover that it will be somewhat difficult for you to just run out and play an entire 18 hole round of golf.  However, if you have been playing for quite some time you're probably be in a lot better condition, but overall your golf game will probably be greatly dependent on your degree of physical fitness and health.  For those who are in great shape physically, in terms of flexibility, strength and endurance you can to play an even better game than someone who is in lesser shape.

You'll need to improve flexibility simultaneously as you work to improve strength in order to have the best overall physical condition possible so that you can play.  This means that you ought to concentrate on build lean muscle, rather than bulky muscles.  The main differences is the amount of flexibility that the muscles provide.  Bulky muscles are typically stronger, yet at the same time they aren't as flexible which can greatly restrict your chances to twist appropriately when you are swinging at the ball.  However, building lean muscle isn't impossible, but will take a conscious effort.

Most individuals who are seeking to build muscle strength typically build muscle mass automatically.  That is typically because they are lifting large amounts of weights.  Rather to build lean muscles you need to work to build repetitions of lighter weights.  This will assist you to improve your muscle strength, while allowing you to work towards building the lean and slender muscles that is better for your overall golf game.  Resist the desire to lift weights that might be heavier than 10 pounds because it will result in bulky muscles rather than lean muscles.

You should also work to keep your body as flexible as possible.  This means you need to ensure that you are stretching both before/after playing golf to ensure that you are taking good care of your body.  If you do not stretch then you may find yourself very sore after a game and regretting playing.  Just stretching for as little as 5 minutes before and after a round of golf will ensure that you are able to continuously play without any problems and without feeling as if you are spending more time stretching than playing golf.

As you are playing golf, it is very important to remember that you are often out in the very hot sun.  For this reason, you need to always ensure that you carry water with you to make sure you stay hydrated during the game.  Should you become overheated or dehydrated, it will start to hinder your game as well as cause you problem in having the necessary endurance to play.  Always drink plenty of water to ensure that you are able to continue playing.  This is important no matter what type of exercise you are doing to ensure that you are as healthy as possible.

One last major tip should to be ensure that you walk as much as possible.  Golf is definitely a rather slow moving sport, however it does typically involve great amounts of walking. You should be able to walk great distances without losing your breath, or experiencing back or leg pain.  Those issues can really reduce the amount of time you could play and is going to potentially allow you to have to quit playing the game in the middle of a course.  This is never some thing which is enjoyable so ensuring that you've got a lot of walking exercise is essential.  If you have problems with finding somewhere to walk then consider looking into a treadmill that will allow you to get plenty of walking exercise even off the green.

With careful planning and a tiny bit of carefully planned and executed exercise can go a long way towards helping you transform your golf game dramatically.  Should you want to play golf as more than just messing around on the green, you'll need to improve your conditioning levels and you'll be rather amazed at the benefits that it provides to your health as well as your overall golf swing.
