 By Jason Taingahue The fundamentals of a golf sing can be easily interpreted the wrong way, if the correct information is not given. But how on earth can we tell if the correct fundamentals are the ones that have been taught or told to us by various individuals? The best way to attack such a problem such as the fundamentals of a golf swing is to try any method out your self and then evaluate the golf swing and see if the correct result has been achieved through following such fundamentals of the golf swing. I can show you a simple to follow 6 fundamental step process for developing a correct golf swing and improving your game of golf. The six fundamental steps that I will give you to follow are in this order: Grip, posture, pivot, the hand and arm relationship, alignment and the most important of all which is the mental side of things. With these six fundamentals you will get a good base to work with in regards to having a correct golf swing. Grip The grip should be a normal hand above hand grip, with the right hand being at the bottom of the club with the thumb facing towards the ground flat on the club and the left hand above the right doing exactly the same pattern. A firm and relaxed grip is what is needed with the completion of your golf grip, this correct procedure is used by most golfers. Posture With this fundamental, we will look at the posture. You should have your legs at about shoulder width apart with the toes pointing out at 5-10 degree's and with the knees slightly bent. Now we must bend at the hips and keep the back straight at all times. A good way to keep the back straight is to contract the abdominals when you are bending at the hips, this acts as a stabilizer for your back. Use this posture for most of your shots, but if you use different postures, just be sure to keep the back straight. Pivot The pivot is how you move your body from head to toe, without the use of the arms. When you pivot to hit the golf ball, the correct way to use this fundamental is to pivot at the hips when you are swinging at the golf ball. Do not pivot at the back as this can cause some serious spinal damage. Hand and arm relationship The hand and arm relationship becomes easy with practice and following the fundamentals of the golf swing such as grip, posture and the pivot will give you the correct hand and arm relationship. Alignment With the alignment fundamental of the golf swing, this is where we choose our target and then we focus on it. Think of nothing else except for the target that you are aiming for. Point the golf club at the target like a gun and look down the scope or line of the club at the target and then aim your golf swing in that same target. Take your time with your golf swing when aiming for the target and make sure that nothing is in your mind except for the target. Mental Mental attitude on the golf course is the most important fundamental of them all. With the correct approach to the golf swing or the game of golf with the mental attitude, we can not only have a great game, but an enjoyable one. Before the golf swing or the golf game, pretend that you have already taken the shot and seen it in your head. Walk around the golf course in your mind before you even arrive there. Simple tasks like this using the mental fundamental will have you on your way to having a great game of golf and a correct golf swing to match it.
