There are so many golf training aids out there. I am 15 years old about 5'9 and 120 pounds. I can only hit my driver about 170-210 and can't hit my irons very far either. I want to improve my tempo, swing plane and basically anything else. What is the best training aid for me or best solution for me? Thanks
Your young, keep swinging, strength will develop.
Despite what people say strength does matter in golf.
Big strong guys hit the ball further.
Maybe swing a weighted club, or tape three cubs together.
Get a net and mat, just hit more often.
Good luck!
This is one of the common mistakes in golf swing from a fellow golfer. Do check yourself on this!!!
As below:
I can’t stop sliding my hips away from the target in my backswing which results in my club be way off plane in my back swing (above my head), starts a reverse pivot and then I need to go over top on downswing which results in shank. I have tried numerous tips to turn instead of slide and I just can’t stop the slide. Does anybody have one swing thought that helps eliminate hip slide on the back swing?
I had a similar issue–the real problem is that your weight is transferring outside your back leg, or as I like to think:
"You are breaking your wall". Think of your back leg as a anchor for your golf swing. Your lower body should be quiet during your swing.
While thinking "don't break my wall" I also think, "turn (my right) your left shoulder under chin" and these two thoughts have helped me drastically. From a 25 to 16 handicap.
