Swing problems are found in every amateur golfer's game. These days, a lot of people believe that golf becomes easier when you isolate & eliminate swing problem variables.
When I first started to play golf I had a real difficult time find the right swing. I could recognize it when I saw other golfers swing correctly, but it eluded me for some time. What finally helped me was to concentrate on iron shots using this training method until I perfected my swing.
Traditionally the theory for hitting irons was to change how you addressed the ball based on the loft of the club. As the loft of the club is increased, the position of the ball address should be shifted to the right and your stance should become more & more open.
This method required that each club required its own unique stance. That made it necessary for the golfer to remember too many variables and provided a greater chance for error.
Today, most professionals believe in the KIS method (Keep It Simple).
Let's take a look at this simpler method. When you keep it simple, the right foot is moved closer to the left as the loft of the club increases. With the shaft of the club shorter, the ball is now placed a little closer to the golfer.
With this method, whichever club is used the stance is always kept square to the line of flight and the ball is always played off the heel.
Try this new method and see if it doesn't improve your short game. Take some time to practice at the range before you take your new found education to the course.
