Personalized Golf Gifts As Well As Tips Regarding Right Golfing

By Jeffery M. Bell


The correct position to stand is in the place in which the ball is going to be opposite to the left heel. Imagine a line which runs from the ball to the inside portion of the left heel. This is at right angles to the line of the shot. Your feet should be put so the toes of both feet are parallel to the line of the shot. Remember that this position must be assumed irrespective of shot or club that is used. There is no reason to change position once you change clubs. This will allow you to position the weight on your right foot to help you make use of the right side of your body in raising the club to the top of the swing to have the stroke. As you bring the club down into and through the ball; you will be in a much better position to shift your weight to the left foot and thus use the left side of the body.

Make sure that the feet will never be wider apart as opposed to the width of your shoulders. A narrower rather than a wide stance is always more suitable because it lets you shift your weight far easier.

To complete the grip bring the right hand to the club

The right arm must be inactive before this point and it must be hanging naturally by your right side. And now is the time to put his right hand to the club. You may note that when you bring the right hand to the club, with the club opposite to the left foot, you will need to relax the right knee somewhat.

The right hand will assume the position of the club that's opposite to the position of the left hand. While the left hand lies on the top of the club handle, the right hand will assume a position that is somewhat underneath the club.

Many beginning players make the mistake of placing both hands directly on top of the club. If both hands are resting on top of the club, a one-handed effect is produced. As mentioned before the proper positioning of the hands must be ambidextrous. The left hand should take care of the top of the club while the right hand takes care of the bottom of the club. Don't forget that golf is a two-handed game.

When your hands are directly opposed to one another, both sides of the club will be under control and the club will rest in a pull and push action that is natural. This is the only action that will produce the desired leverage on the club.

Furthermore, it is imperative to check your grip and be sure that there is no tenseness in it. The club should always be handled with the first two fingers and the thumb of each hand. Do not make the mistake of holding the club with the whole fist to grip the club. In fact, the little finger of the right hand should not even touch the club.

Slightly turn the right heel out. Most people naturally stand in a position in which both toes are turned out slightly. Thus it's very important to make an effort to turn it to the right heel out. This outward placing of the right heel will position the right foot in a far stronger position for the back swing. Additionally, it will also be far easier to shift the weight to your right foot when necessary.
