When it comes to golf, who doesn't want to improve their golf swing? Having more control over a golf ball is one of the most challenging aspects of the game. To be able to direct the golf ball where you would like it to go is very difficult for many people. This all depends on your golf swing. If your swing is off, the golf ball could fall too short or go too far. Not everyone can accomplish this feat. Here are a few tips to help you maintain the correct positioning of your body when swinging your club.

1. STANCE

Your stance is very important to your swing because it influences your stability and balance. It also determines your mobility or just how well you will be able to move when swinging. Your stance shouldn't be too wide or too narrow. Your stance should allow your weight to shift from your back hip to your front hip as you swing your club and follow through.

An easy way to determine if your stance is correct is to see how your knees are aligned after following through. If your knees are together, then your stance is correct. But if your knees do not reach each other or overlap each other, then your stance is either too wide or too narrow.

2. SWING AND FINISHING POSITION

When you swing your club, your finishing position should look like this: your weight should be balanced on your front hip, your back toe should be on the ground, your hands should be up above your front shoulder and your chest and back knee should be facing the hole or where you need the ball to go.

If any of these things are not happening to you, then you need to correct your position and practice swinging and ending up in the proper finishing position.

By working on your stance and finishing position, your golf swing is on its way to giving you a perfect game.
