Cause and effect
Are you tired of practicing your golf swing for hours and still not seeing any improvements in your game? It’s a common problem among golfers, and the solution may not be what you think. Many golfers are plagued with over-information, thinking they have a problem, but more often than not, it’s not the real fault. The golf swing is more cause and effect, and understanding this relationship can significantly improve your game.
Cause and effect is the relationship between two things when one thing makes something else happen. In the golf swing, every move you make has a specific cause that leads to a particular effect. For example, if you’re coming “over the top” in your swing, it’s not just a problem with your club path it’s the effect of a cause that happened before. Understanding this relationship is crucial in improving your game and fixing any faults in your swing.
To really improve your golf swing, you need to identify the cause of your common faults. Here are a few tips to help you:
1. Learn to take a video of your swing: Recording your swing with a phone or camera can help you identify the cause of your faults. Take a video from different angles, including the front, back, and side views.
2. Work with a trusted golf coach: Working with a trusted golf coach can help you identify the cause of your faults more efficiently.
3. Look for moves before the fault: As we mentioned earlier, most faults in the golf swing are the effect of a cause that happened way before. Look for the moves. before the fault you’re experiencing to identify the root cause. For example, a “chicken wing” follow-through, where the lead elbow (left arm for right hand players) bends out instead of staying straight, can be an effect of a cause such as a lack of shoulder turn and improper weight transfer. By identifying and correcting the cause, the effect can be improved.
