The golfers generally make a mistake when they hold the golf club loosely in their fingers but make their arms stiff. Due to this, the golfer loose control on his club and as a result is unable to play a good swing.

The club needs to be held firmly in the fingers in order to try a good swing. Assume that you are trying to lift a cup of coffee with your loose fingers but stiff hands. What will happen? Most likely, you will drop it. The same thing will happen in case of a golf club.

Once you understood how to hold the club, the next thing is to learn is the proper pull. If you pull too swiftly or from your elbow or shoulder, there will be a lot of tension in your arm and upper part of your body. You should go for a smooth swing with a firm control of your fingers on the golf club. By doing so, you will have one fluid motion and you will direct the ball to get in the way. This way you will also be able to bounce off the club appropriately.

Once you master the technique of holding the club in firm fingers and set your club gently in the motion, you will be able to get proficiency in creative shot-making. You will play your best golf when you hold the club with firm grips.

There are different ways in which you can swing your golf club. The most famed is the modern swing which is also referred to as the lower body swing or total body swing. Most first time young golfers having a thin body have been seen playing this specific shot called “tail swings the dog”. In the course of swinging the club with his arms, a young boy arcs his body a little across his front portion of his body, which results in response to his arm’s and club’s movements. The flexible torso of a young boy easily bends drawing an arc, due to the forces that result by the movement of his arms and the club.

But most of the grown up men who have bulky body and a firm central torso play a shot which is called “dog swings the tail”. A heavy-weight man can hardly twist his torso in reaction to his arms’ movements across the front portion of his body and hence such type of swing is visible.
