I've seen in the news, 'Update Framework'.Piers and Andy will be back next week with more great tips and tricks for beginners. In fact, you should strike the ball while the club is still descending so you hit the ground after the ball. Golf clubs have loft built in so you can actually hit down on the ball to hit it up into the air. With each practice swing, try to brush the ground with the club.Īlso, no need to worry about getting under the ball to get it in the air. When practicing, use a tee! Start with the ball teed higher up, and as you get better, lower the ball towards the ground until you don’t need a tee at all. The club forms an arc around your body as you can see in the below picture, so try to keep that in mind while you’re practicing. Remember, the golf swing is not straight back and straight through like some might say. Now you can hold a golf club! Groove a swing arc Don’t worry about overlapping or interlocking your fingers if you’re just beginning. You should see your thumb and two knuckles at this stage. Next, place your other hand below your glove hand so your right thumb is overlapping your left thumb (if you’re right handed) forming a V shape with your index finger. When you close your hand around the club, you should see all four knuckles and the logo of your glove. When picking up a golf club for the first time, stand straight up with your feet together, point the leading edge of the club straight up, and place the club in the fingers of your glove hand. The grip is the only part of your body that actually touches the golf club, and it’s what influences the angle of your swing path and the club face itself. The ball should be roughly in the middle of your stance depending on your club selection - in the video, Piers is using a 7-iron. When you’re lining up your golf shot, make sure to align your body so your feet, knees, hips, and shoulders are all parallel to the target line with your feet shoulder width apart.
