    1. During the backswing, your goal should be to shift your weight to your rear foot, as opposed to hanging over the front (reverse pivot). The key is to remember that a proper weight shift is the result of a full turn, not a slide. So turn, turn, turn until your weight moves to the back foot and keep your hands away from your body.

      This is crucial because on your back swing when turning all of your weight should be on your back foot but on the way down all of your weight needs to be shifted to the front foot to be able to hit the ball further.

    2. Now, on to ball position, the most overlooked aspect of iron setup. The ball should be played no farther back than your sternum and no farther forward than your left armpit. Most golfers tend to play the ball too far forward, causing a slew of miserable contacts.

      Each club you use has different ball positions so it can correctly be hit. For the driver the ball needs to be lined up with the heel of your left foot.

    3. Bend from the waist, not from your back, for better posture. Take the club back with the arms, not wrists, during the takeaway. Frankly, a poor setup is downright inexcusable—you don’t even have to hit a golf ball to get it right.

      Make sure you bend at the waist and keep your head down. Do not bend your wrists at takeaway or the ball will slice when it is hit.

    1. Turn your shoulders around your spine for the takeaway. Your left arm should be straight or slightly bent, and your left shoulder should approach your right armpit. By the time your left arm is parallel to the ground, your wrists should be cocked at a 90-degree angle. As you make the shoulder turn, your weight should shift to the back leg. The heel of your right foot stays planted.

      Each different technique by turning your spine and keeping your left arm straight is very technical and will help when you are coming back down to hit the ball

    2. place the club between the first and second joint of your index finger back to the base of your pinkie. The heel of your hand will be on top of the club with the

      This even shows how to grip the club which is a technical thing to be able to hit the ball well.

    3. Place the ball off the inside of your front foot, and make sure the clubface and your body are square to the pin. Assume the correct posture and balance. Your knees, arms and shoulders should be tension free, and your weight should be near the back near your heels

      This is a warm up exercise that will help the golfer swing correctly and be flexible.

    1. The results of the kinematic analysis of the stroke with a wood and the stroke with an iron point to it that in this respect there also exist large individual differences between the golfers in the sample selected. The strokes differ both in the speed of individual body segments, the speed of the club, and the speed of the ball at the moment of impact.

      This shows how there are differences between a wood club and an iron club.

    2. Today there still exist large individual differences in the stroke technique between the best professional players, which fact is not surprising since we know that the said differences are the result of the differences in their motor abilities and anthropometric characteristics.

      Everyone has a different swing but there are basics that everyone needs to use when swinging

    3. In the present study, we use the method of kinematic analysis that ensures accurate recording and evaluation of the most important parameters of the stroke such as paths - trajectories, the values of angles, speeds, angular speeds and accelerations for individual parts or segments of the body, and the parameters of the movement of the club and ball

      This shows how many factors go into each swing. And also need to place the golf ball at a specific place at your feet for each swing.
