Q&A

What grip should I use for my golf swing?

Use a grip that feels comfortable and allows you to control the club. Experiment with different grip styles, such as overlapping or interlocking, to find what works best for you.

Why is it important to hit the ball in the middle of the face?

Hitting the ball in the middle of the face ensures better contact and maximizes the transfer of energy from the club to the ball, resulting in improved distance and accuracy.

How can I generate more power in my golf swing?

Rotating your body, especially your upper chest, helps generate power in your golf swing. Practice rotating your chest right to left (for right-handed golfers) to increase the speed and force of your swing.

Should I try to lift the ball off the ground or hit down on it?

When striking a golf shot, it's important to hit down on the ball, rather than trying to lift it. Hitting down helps create a clean contact and ensures a consistent and predictable ball flight.

Do I need a coach to improve my golf swing?

Having a knowledgeable coach can greatly benefit your golf swing. A coach can provide guidance, identify any flaws in your technique, and help you make the necessary adjustments to improve your swing and overall game.
