One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to change my golf swing.In the next sections, I show you some different approaches you can take.After going through them, it’s going to be up to you to decide which approach is the best for you. 

Swing Fix 1 - Purchase New Equipment

Every golfer has bought new clubs at one time or another to help change their game.   Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can improve your golf game if you’re playing the wrong clubs, or your clubs are not properly fitted to you and your swing. The best thing you can do, is to seek out a professional clubfitter to have your swing checked and club professtionally fitted to you.

There’s another little know way that buying new clubs can fix your swing. New club give you a different feeling from your old clubs.  This means that when you hit shots with them, you’re thinking so much about how the new club feels that you aren’t thinking of how you’re swinging.This different feeling clears your mind but not for long.Using your new clubs for a couple of weeks and they won’t feel all that different so you go right back to thinking about your swing.The best thing to do would be to stop experimenting with new clubs. 

As I said earlier, your best bet is to seek out a clubfitter and have him fit you.Once you do that, you really should focus on your swing.

Swing Fix 2 - Trying Different Swing Tips

We’ve all picked up the latest golf magazine and tried the latest golf tips hoping they will magically get our game back on track.The thing is, most golfers are not experienced enough to determine if these tips would benefit their swing. If you don’t know your swing well enough and you keep trying these tips, you may make your swing worse. Plus, a tip is just a tip.It’s not certain that it’s going to help develop the proper fundamentals. 

An example of this would be to change to a stronger grip.A tip like this may help you square the club a little better but it’s is not helping your develop a proper grip.You should be very careful the next time you go to work on the latest tip you find in a magazine, or from your buddy.  A good idea would be to discuss the tip with your head pro or teaching pro first to see if it would be a good fit for your game.You should try it only after this consultation.If it works, great!

Swing Fix 3 - Trouble Focusing

So many golfer’s are searching for the instant cure that they get caught up into experimenting with too many changes at once.This approach is futile.Unfortunately, this will be too confusing.  Plus, you may have tried so many things that you can’t remember what worked and what didn’t.It may have been luck even if you did find something that worked.  The true test for this apporach is your game improving long into the future.

Swing Fix 4 - Only Work on 1 Thing

The best way to work on swing changes is to work on one thing at a time.If you do it this way, you will keep your focus and not be trying to work on all sorts of different things at once.   In order to work on your swing this way, you need to follow a method or work with a swing coach.Working on your swing this way will make the changes permanent because you will spend more time on each posiiton without distractions.Now, I know that you’re probably thinking this is going to take a long time.If you compare this way to the other fixes I descreibed, you’ll make progress faster this way. 

That’s because the other tips only give you a temporary fix whereas, working on each piece of your swing, develops proper fundamentals that you can take with you long into the future.
