Steps to Improve Your Golf Shots

Practice is the key to improving your golf shots. Here's look at some areas of your swing and grip.

Grip and Thumb Location
Maintaining a correct grip on the club during the back swing is vital. It’s not just the initial grip on the club that’s important; keeping your thumb pointing towards the sky at the half way mark of the swing both on the back swing and the front swing is essential. As the club comes back at the midway point of the swing, the thumb, which initially points towards the ground, should be pointing towards the sky before you come down and follow through with the swing.

Get the Rhythm Right
Do not rush when playing your shot. Improving your golf swing is all about timing and movement of the swing. Anyone can hit the ball with power by swinging hard and fast. Getting the rhythm right takes practice. An effective method to maintain good rhythm is to pause slightly at the end of the upswing motion before completing the downswing motion. Many golfers will actually do a short count in their minds for no more than a second. This method has the effect of improving rhythm and reduces the urge to swing to quickly.

Keep in Balance
Have you ever felt off balance when going through with the swing motion? For right hand golfers, the left knee leans towards the right, the shoulders seem to be out of alignment and the hip sways in an unnatural fashion. What do you do to correct it? One method is to place a large ball in between the knees during my back swing practice. It looks odd but it works, try it!

Today's Golf Clubs are Wonderfully Engineered

The engineering that goes into producing a club, whether an iron, fairway wood or a driver, is awsome. Let the club do what it was designed for is most important. All you need to do is provide the club with the correct swing plane and the wonderfully engineered golf club will do the rest.

In Summary
Improving your golf swing is about practicing the correct technique. Pratice until you develop 'muscle memory' so it becomes simple instinct every time you step out to the tee. Now, go hit a bucket of balls.

It could be the weather, or it could simply be the way you swing.

Either way, we’ve noticed that some golfers like to take the high road and some like the low road. We’re speaking of trajectory, of course. And it’s a thought that brought us to the design of a revolutionary approach in wedges for golfers of all skill levels.

New Pro Spin Wedges from Tommy Armour allow golfers to choose how they want to launch the golf ball on full or finesse shots. Three different lofts — Gap (52°), Sand (56°) and Lob (60°) — available in two different configurations — High Launch and Tour Launch (see below) — give every golfer a soothing measure of assurance they’ll live to play another day.

High Launch – For many golfers, high flying and high spinning shots result in more consistency, so there is High Launch Pro Spin Wedges. We’ve moved mass up slightly to help prevent ballooned shots for truer, more precision distance control.

Tour Launch – For golfers who want to fly shots in a little lower, but at exactly the same distances as conventional wedges, there is Tour Launch. We’ve redistributed even more mass up and into the hosel, to keep shots down even in the most treacherous conditions.

The Spin Story:
Both High Launch and Tour Launch Pro Spin Wedges feature CNC milled faces and deep grooves for more precise impacts and trajectory control. And each Pro Spin series is fitted with premium Rifle Spinner wedge shafts to enhance spin characteristics, clubhead feel and stability on turf or sand impacts. So if you hit it high, or slightly lower, your ball will have outstanding stopping power to help you get the most out of your game.
