One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to fix my golf swing.In the next sections, I show you some different approaches you can take.After going through them, it’s going to be up to you to decide which approach is the best for you. 

Swing Fix 1 – Buy New Clubs

Every golfer has bought new clubs at one time or another to help change their game.   Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can improve your golf game if you’re playing the wrong clubs, or your clubs are not properly fitted to you and your swing. The best thing to do, is visit a clubfitter so you can have your swing checked and get properly fitted for your clubs.

There’s another little know way that buying new clubs can fix your swing. Newer clubs feel different from your old clubs.Because they feel different, hitting shots with them causes you to take your mind off of your swing.  This totally clears your mind but it’s only temporary.  After a couple of weeks of using a new club(s), it no longer feels different so you go right back to thinking about your swing again.  My advice here is to quit trying new clubs. 

As I mentioned earlier, try to find a professional clubfitter and get fitted.  Then, work on your swing.

Swing Fix 2 – Swing Tips

We’ve all picked up the latest golf magazine and tried the latest golf tips hoping they will magically get our game back on track.  The problem is, most people don’t know their swing well enough to determine if, in fact, these tips would apply to their swing. If you don’t know your swing well enough, and you try these tips, you may actually be making your swing worse. Plus, a tip is just a tip.  It’s not necessarily going to improve your fundamentals. 

An example of a tip would be to move your hands into a stronger grip positon.A tip like this may help you square the club a little better but it’s is not helping your develop a proper grip.  Be very careful when you’re working on the latest tip in a golf magazine, or from your friend.  A good idea would be to discuss the tip with your head pro or teaching pro first to see if it would be a good fit for your game.  Then, and only then, would you attempt to try it.It it works, that’s fantastic!

Swing Fix 3 – Lack of Focus

So many people are looking for the instant answer that they fall into the trap of trying way too many things all at once.This approach will never work.  Unfortunately, this is only going to lead to confusion.Also, you may have attempted so many different things that you don’t remember what actually worked.Even if you had some success, it may have just been luck.The way you can truly know if this approach is working is if your game improves well into the future.

Swing Fix 4 – Change One Thing at a Time

The best way you should work on fixing your swing is to take it one step at a time.If you do it this way, you will keep your focus and not be trying to work on all sorts of different things at once.To work on your swing this way, you will need to study a swing method or take lessons from a qualified pro.  By focusing on  your swing like this, you’ll reenforce the changes because you won’t be getting sidetracked.  Now, I know a lot of people are think this will take too long.  When compared to the other fixes I mentioned, this really will be the fastest. 

The reason is, the other ways I described only present a short term fix whereas, isolating one part of your swing develops the right fundamentals that will stay with your long into the future.
