Golf Swing Instruction - are you Looking for the Perfect Golf Swing?
Author: Terry Edwards
Are you still looking for the perfect golf swing? If you answered yes, you may want to stop for a minute and consider what golf professionals and instructors all over the world say; there is no one golf swing that is perfect for all golfers. With that said though, here is what will help you the most in your golf swing.
We all have our own unique golf swings. What works well for you may not work at all for me. Perhaps the best example of this is Jim Furyk. Who do you know that has a swing like that? And how could anyone learn that swing? But, he's a champion on the PGA Tour, so his swing works great for him.
The key to developing your perfect golf swing is to work on the fundamentals and build a strong repeating golf swing that becomes second nature in your mind. Here are some tips to help you build this type of swing.
1. Relax
As you step up to the tee box and get positioned over your ball, take a couple of deep breaths and relax. Tense muscles produce bad golf shots.
2. Backswing
Take the club back wit a one piece takeaway. You want your shoulders and lower body to turn naturally. Your weight will gradually transfer to the right side as the club comes back.
Set your wrists when the club comes back to the halfway point. Then, continue to take the club back until your left hand is up to being even with your ear.
3. Downswing
As you begin your downswing, you always want to lead with your hips and then let your shoulders and arms follow. It's your lower body that develops the power, not your arms. When you watch professional golfers on TV you will always notice this is how they swing the club.
4. Follow Through
Be sure to finish with a high follow through with your weight on your left side and your right knee pointing toward the target.
While there may never be a "perfect golf swing", these tips will help you build a repeating golf swing that will lead to lower scores on the course and having a more enjoyable time.

Too often, beginning and intermediate golfers try and copy the swings of the pros. This isn’t a good idea, because the pros have hit so many thousands of balls that they can make subtle changes to their swings to achieve more power, more spin on the ball, or an intentional fade or draw. Tiger Woods, for example, utilizes a very late wrist uncock which results in more power and longer drives for him, but would most likely result in an errant drive if a beginner did it. The best swing for a novice golfer is a nice smooth, easy swing with very little or no wrist cocking/uncocking, a smooth weight transfer from back to front foot and a full body turn and follow through.

The perfect golf swing is the one which conforms to the body’s angles in relation to the club, and conforms to the physical design of said golf club. Why do you ask anyway ?
