Improve your Shotmaking by following this guideline

There is a rule of swing golf which apply good golfers everywhere in the world. Fourteen clubs, swing. Well maybe not your putter, but any club you have in your hand, you use the same swing with it as you want with all the other clubs.

Golf is difficult game, and a good golf swing is difficult to learn. We all know that. Golf is more difficult if we think that we need to swing with the short irons, with mid irons ironing boards, with long/hybrid irons and another with the driver. It is simply too ask, and fortunately, you do not have to play golf in this way.

Learn a swing and swing club even with the same swing.

The Foundation for your swing club is 9-iron. It is easy to beat club, does not encourage to push you hard and is a small swing, allowing you to feel very clearly what is happening with your body when you swing. Practice hitting the 9-iron resembles firing to build the principles that your teaching pro gave you in your head. When you are hitting shot after shooting with an iron 9 and smile results, you are ready to extend this swing to the rest of your bag.

Take your 9-, 7-, 5 - and 3 - irons or its equivalent in fairway woods and hybrids and your driver to the beach with you. Warm up with your only 9-iron. Now hit a ball with an iron 7, imitating your 9-iron swing. Store 7 - iron and hit another ball with iron-9. Now take your 5 iron and hit a ball, new imitating your 9-iron swing. Repeat with 9-iron 9-iron and iron-3 driver.

Here again, your shots sequence looks like this: 9-7-9-5-9-3-9-D. work again and this eight-shot sequence. Each swing that you make, no matter what club you are swinging, must feel that this is a 9-iron.

There is film of Ben Hogan, striking irons, taken down-the-line view. There is a caddy in distance shagging balls, that it strikes. The only way you can say that Hogan is hitting a different club, is that the cart is in a different place than before. And I mean the only way. Swings are identical.

If you school yourself to hit every club with a swing, not only make you the game much simpler, you get more benefit: you will be hitting the ball better. Too often when we take longer clubs, we believe that we need to support shot instead of leaving the club to do what it was designed to.

Distance? You will be surprised to know how far you can hit a 5-iron if you leave the club to do his job. Accuracy? The concept of a Swing leads you directly to it.

Try it out. I guarantee you hitting the ball better, shoot lower scores and have more fun.
