At the most frustrating times on the course, it can seem like there is nothing that will help you improve your game. Believe it or not, there are some easy solutions to improve your golf swing. If you follow these, you will find that your swing looks better and your scores come down in no time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Grip it and rip it<br /><br /><br /><br />It may be one of the biggest golf clichés that there is, but this phrase should remind you that it all starts with the grip. If you are slicing the golf ball, then you probably have a grip that is too weak. If you want to improve your golf swing quickly, try moving your dominant hand closer to the top of the club. The flipside of that is the person who hooks the golf ball. Their grip might be a little too strong and they should move their strong hand to below the club.<br /><br /><br /><br />Swing through the ball<br /><br /><br /><br />What does this mean? It means that instead of coming over the golf ball, you should try to swing out and through the golf ball. This is one of the most difficult things for amateurs to learn when they first begin playing. If you want to lose the slice and improve your golf swing, you will master this swing path, though. When you come over the golf ball, you have little option but to slice the ball. By swinging out at the ball and coming through with the swing, you are putting the club head in position to strike the ball squarely. This will help you hit the ball farther and keep it in the fairway.<br /><br /><br /><br />Not so hard<br /><br /><br /><br />One of the quickest ways to improve your golf swing is to just slow down. You don't have to try to murder the golf ball. Take the time to watch professional golfer Ernie Els. Though he's a huge man, Els doesn't swing the club very hard. His nicknames, The Big Easy or Easy Ernie are well earned because of his tempo. If you want to quickly improve your golf swing, try to be more like Els. Slowing down and not trying to hit the golf ball so hard will help improve your tempo and it will lead to better golf shots.<br /><br /><br /><br />Learn how to improve your golf with the FREE ImproveYourGolfNow.com newsletter.

This is called topping the ball, and happens because your club contacts the ball above its equator. Ironically, many golfers make the problem worse by trying to "help" the ball into the air - trying to lift or scoop the golf ball off the turf. So, what is the correct way to stop topping the golf ball?<br /><br />Unfortunately, there is no easy answer. Fundamentally, the problem is that your golf swing mechanics are incorrect in some way. Assuming that you are using the correct golf club, its design will ensure that ball will fly into the air when you swing the club correctly. The fastest way to stop topping golf balls is to consult a golf pro or golf swing coach. He will be able to see where your worst mistakes are and suggest the best drills to improve your golf swing. Once you learn to perform those drills correctly, this embarrassing problem of dribbling your golf ball on the ground will be fixed.<br /><br />Of course, not everyone has access to a competent golf pro. Before you start surfing the web for a solution, let me give you a warning. Some websites use the terms topping the golf ball, skulling, and hitting the ball thin interchangeably. Not to mention that the golf swing tips contradict each other. Let me suggest a more old fashioned alternative. Go hit your local library for some golf swing instruction books. Look for the books which teach golf swing techniques or show the correct golf swing mechanics. Browse them and borrow the books which you can understand. Read them carefully and take notes. Then go hit a few dozen golf balls and capture it all on video. Analyze what you see, and compare it against your notes. You should see some major deviations from the norm. Once you correct these mistakes, you should have improved your golf swing and stopped topping your golf balls.<br /><br />Pursuing shortcuts tends to be a hit or miss affair. I must admit that sometimes you just do not have time to do it right. In such cases, you just have to cross your fingers, make a quick prayer and hope for the best. So, here are two quick golf swing tips to stop topping golf balls: <br /><br />Aim one inch in front of the ball. <br /><br />Stand with the ball further back in your stance. Swing your club as usual, and you will hit the ball lower. <br /><br />Some golfers find that they only top the ball with their drivers and low-numbered irons. This shows that they have difficulty controlling the added power when they swing these clubs. Here are three golf swing tips to help you: <br /><br />Practice half-swings until you consistently hit the ball without topping, then graduate to practicing full-swings <br /><br />Practice swinging the golf club in slow motion to ingrain the correct movement into your muscle memory. Once you are satisfied that you fully understand the correct golf swing mechanics, gradually increase the speed you swing the club. <br /><br />Practice your golf swing with old-style blade irons. These old-fashioned clubs have tiny sweet spots. They give you excellent feedback when you do not hit the ball right - the club vibrates strongly and stings your hands. Once you can contact the ball with the sweet spot consistently, you will stop topping the golf ball. <br /><br />Topping the golf ball once is embarrassing. Topping the golf ball swing after swing is humiliating. The fastest way to stop topping golf balls and improve your golf swing is to ask a golf swing coach to look at your swing. The next best way is to study and understand the correct golf swing mechanics.<br /><br />Do you have these 3 problems with your golf swing: 1) inconsistency; 2) slice; 3) distance?
