The golfers generally make a mistake when they hold the golf club loosely in their fingers but make their arms stiff. Due to this, the golfer loose control on his club and as a result is unable to play a good swing.

The club needs to be held firmly in the fingers in order to try a good swing. Assume that you are trying to lift a cup of coffee with your loose fingers but stiff hands. Can you guess the consequence? Perhaps the cup will be dropped. The same principle of control applies on the golf club.

Once you understood how to hold the club, the next thing is to learn is the proper pull. If you pull too swiftly or from your elbow or shoulder, there will be a lot of tension in your arm and upper part of your body. You need to strengthen your fingers and try to swing the golf club smoothly while having stiff control in the fingers. By doing so, you will have one fluid motion and you will direct the ball to get in the way. And then, you can also bounce off your club in a proper manner.

Once you master the technique of holding the club in firm fingers and set your club gently in the motion, you will be able to get proficiency in creative shot-making. Playing your best golf is at your finger grips.

There are several ways to swing a golf club. The most prominent one is the modern swing, also called the lower body swing or total body swing. In most young golfers who have lean body and are the first timers, a particular type of swing is visible, which is called “tail swings the dog”. In the course of swinging the club with his arms, a young boy arcs his body a little across his front portion of his body, which results in response to his arm’s and club’s movements. The flexible body of a young boy moves about in space due to the forces that are generated by his moving of arms while trying to play a swing.

But most of the grown up men who have bulky body and a firm central torso play a shot which is called “dog swings the tail”. A man with bulky body is unable to bend his torso complying to the movement of his arms across the front portion of the body and hence plays this type of swing.
