The biggest mistake most golfers make is that they hold the golf club too loosely in their fingers and too firm in their arms. 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. What would be the result? Most likely, you will drop it. The same may be the case with a golf club.

To know how to play a proper pull comes after you learn to hold your club properly. When you try to pull either too hurriedly or from the elbow or shoulder, you may put a stress on your arm and your torso. If you wish to play a good swing, hold the golf club firmly in your fingers. By doing so, you will have one fluid motion and you will direct the ball to get in the way. This also helps to bounce off the club correctly.

Now when you learnt the skill of holding the club in your firm fingers and attain a fluid motion, you will able to play various shots in a creative manner. Playing your best golf is at your finger grips.

There are several ways to swing a golf club. The modern swing, or also known as the lower body swing or total body swing, is the most important swing. Most first time young golfers having a thin body have been seen playing this specific shot called “tail swings the dog”. A young boy generally swings the club with his arms, but his body inertly twists a little in reaction to his arms’ and club’s movements across the front portion of his body. A young boy usually has a flexible and supple torso that easily moves about in space in reaction to the forces that come into play by the active movement of his arms and club.

On the other hand, most overweight men in their middle-age, due to their heavy, non-flexible central torso, play a swing 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.
