The Key Parts to Focus on in Your Practice Session

It’s important that you think about every part of your game but there are points within every practice session that you should concentrate on and make sure you dedicated a certain amount of time to getting these following parts correct because they will help build the fundamental roots of your game.

Your Takeaway

When you take the club away, you can make eratic movements in your hands and also taking the club away too far inside or too far on the outside will lead to an inconsistent swing and hitting bad shots. Work on the smoothness of your take away and making sure that you are performing a “one-piece” take away where everything is in a fluid motion. Make sure that you are feeling the right movements by making the club head go backwards.

Your Grip

The golf grip is a simple yet fundamental part of your golf swing that will affect your golf swing. Make sure you are performing the correct grip that you are used to doing and that you are doing it perfectly. Don’t grip the club too hard and make sure you’re wrists are aligned with the club properly.

Your Alignment

You can make a perfect swing and still miss the green, that’s because your alignment is out. You may think that you are aiming in the correct direction but sometimes you are not. Practice and using a golf club to align your feet at the target will allow you to be on target more often. Make sure that your shoulders are aligned with your feet otherwise you will over compensate either direction and cause yourself to pull or push the golf ball.

Tempo

Some golfers like e.g. Jim Furyk does not have a very pretty swing but he’s not one of the worlds best golfers for no reason. His tempo is one of (if not) the best in the game and it allows him to hit more consistent shots that are rhythmic and confident. You can practice your tempo by taking more time over your shots and slow your swing down, concentrate on solid contact.
