Carl Alexander is the Director of Golf at the Golf Club of Purchase & Metropolitan PGA President. He shared some tips to work on this spring before you hit the course.
Step 1
Getting the club right at your eyes, take your grip with good posture...
"I want people taking their grip here, before getting over the ball, because the club is at my eyes, my shoulders are wide and my posture is good."
"Most golfers put the club down, look down at their hands, curl their neck, roll their back, and then look at the ball, and now they have bad posture. Try taking your grip this way and you'll notice a difference."
Reality is, it’s all about balance. I need people to be in balance in two places...
1 - top of the swing, you can’t be out of balance or you’re really compensating from there.
2 - you should be able to hold this position for 1 second and feel in balance..
"Using a mirror helps you visualize where you should be at the top."
