Golfing is an unnatural act. The golf swing takes an enormous amount of coordination, fitness, and skill. Usually the average human doesn't have even close to the amount of all three needed to create an extremely successful swing. There are certain habits, however, that I think we must be born with. Unfortunately these habits can completely destroy your score as you hit the ball straight into the woods with rbz irons, only hit it 10 feet in front of you, or at the worst, miss the ball completely (even though missing the ball doesn't count against your score, it damages the ego almost to the point of no return). The habits are also painstakingly clear when watching someone else, but extremely hard to spot when you are the perpetrator. So what are these dastardly evil mistakes? Well, the first one is trying too hard. It is blatantly obvious when a rookie first starts golfing that they believe (probably from some caveman programming) that the harder you hit the ball with taylormade rbz irons the further it will go. This could not be any further from the truth. When a person swings as hard as they can, the actually only generate a clubhead speed that is only a very small fraction faster than a slower, more relaxed swing. What it does, however, is create a tense and inefficient swing with cheap taylormade burner 2.0 irons. You will expend a lot of energy for very little gain. This causes you to fatigue a lot quicker and in the later holes, you will notice a significant drop in performance. The "super-swing", as I like to call it, also makes your body contort in an unpredictable way. By doing this, you have no assurance as to where on the clubface you will actually hit the ball with taylormade burner 2.0 irons, how open the face will be, and even better, where your body will be pointed if you do make contact. As a result, the ball will go in a random place every single time. Sure, you may luck out every once in awhile, but the majority of the time, the ball will go straight for the place you don't want it to (usually the water, bunker, or trees). In conclusion, the best way to hit the ball further is to stop trying so hard to hit it. Just relax, and make sure you're in good physical condition. Once you do those 2 things, hitting a golf ball consistently will almost come to second nature to you. |
