•Grip: The choice of the right club determines the success of the swing.
After choosing the correct tool for the job in hand, make sure to hold the club at the right distance of the grip.
Certain long range shots require the player to hold the grip at the end to gain more pivotal force, while pitching requires center-hold and certain types of putting require lower grip.
•Stance: Stand with a straight spine and high head.
The bend of the torso depends on the targeted shot distances.
•Position of ball: The distance of the ball from the body-line and whether it has to be placed exactly in the center or slightly away from the center depends on the distance the ball should travel.
•Lift: The distance you need to lift the club depends on the amount of force to be applied on the ball.
Higher lift promises stronger shot.
•Swing: Make sure to have a uniform speed throughout the swing.
At times wrist needs to add some force when the club is just about to meet the ball.
•Follow-through: Have a neat follow-through, which would not hit back on to your body.
