An Improving Golf Swing is Based on Relaxing
There are actually two components involved in knowing how to relax in golf. They are both equally important. The first component is relaxing your mind. The second component is relaxing your body. When your are able to relax physically, you will find that you can hit the ball farther and more accurately. When you are able to relax mentally, you will find that you are able to overcome mental turmoil and focus on the task at hand better. Relaxing is the first (and most important) of the six Golf Swing Basics that help you Learn to Play Golf Better.
Think of your body as a fulcrum for a whip. As a whip becomes thinner and looser the closer it get to the tip, your shoulders down to your hands should be looser and more flexible also. If you watch the swing of golf pros on television, it looks like they are not even swinging very hard. Yet their club head speeds and ball distances are well above the average golfer’s.
In order to relax, it helps to take a deep breath and exhale before and even during your swing. Try not to hold your breath during your swing as this will tend to tighten your muscles.
This principle is used in many sports including martial arts. Knowing how to relax in golf will help you develop more power, accuracy and consistency.
