While every putter must know how to putt, he has to get the ball off the tee with a strong swing before he does anything else. With practice and concentration, any golfer can learn to perfect his swing. All swings have a few common elements that make up the fundamentals of golf.
The Grip
When gripping a club, circle your left hand around the club so you have a V between the thumb and index finger. Stretch the tension from finger to the shoulder. Overlap your right hand over the left thumb and vice versa. Make your V shape create a line that leads to the chin. Apply light pressure to both hands.

“If you are interested in improving your game, I would highly recommend helping your head as much as you are helping your swing...”
The above was a quote from Rob Mangini, former assistant men’s golf coach at Arizona State University in the book "The Mental Keys to Improving Your Golf". In other words, understand and know what works then concentrate on doing the work.
Unfortunately, when it comes to golf usually us regular, recreational golfers don’t think beyond “gripping it and ripping it”. We don’t really want to put in the time. We just want to hit that sucker. Forget the golf training aid.
And yet in all my years of golfing, I haven’t met a golfer yet that doesn’t want to improve his or her golf game.
continued below.......
Getting better is not going to just happen, especially if you want to be consistent. It requires giving some serious attention to the four fundamentals of golf - mechanical, strategic, physical and mental. Now isn’t that interesting. How many of the (4) do you as a golfer have a handle on? I would bet that most average golfers don’t even think of (3) of the (4) and, to be honest, their mechanics probably aren’t necessarily “all that”.

Every person has his or her own unique body with its own elasticity, strengths, and range of motion. No two individuals can ever have the same golf swing in the game of golf. Even if two people have nearly the same body type the way one person swings a golf club may differ totally from another person. All golfers must realize the playing style that suits them to get to the results they want to achieve.
There is one thing that can make golfers produce spontaneous and sure advancements on the green and that is an acknowledgment of the elements that influence the golf ball at the time of impact by the golf club. This understanding of the factors and how they influence the ball would guide you to know what takes place when the golf club hits the ball, and through that calculate the flight of the golf ball.

The construction of your golf club shaft primarily affects your golf swing speed. Stiffer shafts are typically more suitable for players with swing speeds of 100mph and above. The first thing you need to decide is whether you need a steel or graphite shaft. Second, you need to decide on what type of shaft flex you want. Both of these elements are important in choosing your new or replacement club shafts. In this article we will discuss the options available to you and what they mean.
What is the difference between steel shafts and graphite shafts? The biggest difference between the two types is that graphite shafts are lighter. The lighter the golf club, the higher the swing speed the golfer will be able to generate. The difference in material will typically translate into an additional 3 miles per hour of club speed. In turn, this can translate into about 10 additional yards of distance when you use a graphite shaft. Graphite shafts also send less vibrations up the shaft to your hands, wrists, and elbows. This can be good if you want to prevent wear and tear on your joints.
