WATCH: This simple hack will reduce tension and free up your golf swing

Videos

Executing a golf swing requires both mental and physical fluency throughout.

Mentally, you need to be aware of what’s required for a good shot and the ability not to overthink it.

Physically, the swing has to be a smooth motion that doesn’t feel stressful or forced.

The two elements go hand in hand.

For example, overthinking the mechanics of the swing will overcomplicate them, leading to stiffness and tension that will prevent success.

Consistency is key, but this isn’t as easy as you’d think. You will have good days, and you will have bad days where you struggle to find a rhythm with no two swings feeling the same.

For 99% of golfers, we will never find perfection.

However, there are things we can do on the course and on the range to iron out some bad tendencies and increase consistency in our game.

This quick hack is accessible to everyone and easy to put into practice.

A simple change that can be implemented on the range will square up your body and create a more neutral club path.

Increased tension in the golf swing can lead to factors such as squeezing the club and also completely eradicate flow and club speed. This can be removed.

As well as the hack seen in the video, mental techniques such as improving breathing and staying more present can have positive results on your game.
