Golf Instruction Practice Makes Perfect

Have you been trying to improve your golf swing but to no avail? Just like what most of the greatest players have said, "A golf swing is like a fingerprint, no two are alike."

If you have been watching some of the world's best players and if you have read the biographies or golf instruction books of some of golf's legendary players and instructors, you will notice each has a style of its own.

One of the best players to have ever played the game was Ben Hogan. Having won more than 60 professional tournaments in his career including all of golf's four major tournaments, you would not believe he had a golf swing problem which is known to golfers as "hooking."

Hooking is when the golf ball tends to veer toward the left side of the fairway. Hogan, who is actually left-handed as he has stated in one of his books, played with his right hand and used a strong grip, this was theorized as the reason why he suffered from hooking the ball.

To solve this problem, Hogan developed a swing that would be known as "The Secret". Revealed in several magazines some years back and which were based on observations done while Hogan was actually playing, the ball striker's swing consisted of using a slightly weaker grip, opening the clubface during the takeaway using the wrists, and then using his right knee as a trigger to initiate the downswing. This swing is now known the world over as the Hogan Fade.

The golfer who instilled the importance of practicing has written two golf instruction books, Power Golf, and Five Lessons, the legendary golfer talks about the basic essentials of having a consistent and good golf swing. In the book, the golfer also known as "The Hawk" explains the importance of how to hold the club the right way, how to address the ball correctly, and how to swing the club from the takeaway to the follow-through. You can also now catch his golf instruction online, by typing Ben Hogan's Timeless Tips or Ben Hogan swing keys.

Golfing equipment also plays an important role in playing good golf. Over the years a lot of modifications have been developed in terms of golf clubs, putters, golf balls, and other golf training aids.

Unlike before when golfers could only check their swing if they took a video of themselves hitting the ball, advanced technology has made it possible to analyze a golfer's swing inch by inch. In this way, a golfer's bad habit could be easily corrected by providing the appropriate golf training aids and golfing equipment.

From putting green to golf swing trainers to practice nets for the garage and a whole lot more to choose from, you can be sure your golf game would improve tremendously if you keep using these devices consistently.

Take it from Ben Hogan the golfer who has been tagged by his peers as the guy who gave the word "practice" a whole new meaning since he was known to have trained the most among all of them during their time.

Practice really does make it perfect!
