  • Smoothing Out Your Golf Swing Using Range Drills
    June, 2011
    by David Welliver

    I’m an avid golfer, and I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking aspects of my game in order to improve. I’ve discovered while you can improve through small adjustments, you may also throw your game off completely. Golf swing mechanics greatly affect the game. Just the smallest changes in grip, stance, and swing can suddenly turn nice, straight drives into a hook or a slice. To have a consistent swing, you may want to do range drills to create the necessary muscle memory.

    The best tip I can give you is this: Relax! Nothing will hurt your swing more than tightening up. I know it may feel difficult when you’re thinking your way through everything you need to do in preparation for swinging a club. That’s why you should make range time a priority—because you can work out the mechanics on the range and then practice your swing repeatedly to set your muscle memory. That way, when you step up to the tee, your swing will feel automatic.

    When I hit the driving range, I follow a process that takes me through all aspects of my swing. I don’t get out the driver first. Instead, I start with my 9-iron or a wedge and just do the bottom half of my swing, as if I were chipping a ball onto the green. Once I like the ball’s flight path and the feel of the swing, I move on to a three-quarter swing and then finally a full swing. Next, I move up to the 7-iron and repeat the process, followed by a 5-iron, at least one hybrid, and then one of my fairway woods. After I’ve gone through about four or five other clubs, I finally pull out the driver. By then, I’ve locked in my swing and I can begin to drive balls with a smooth swing.

    How do you get a consistent golf swing? Practice, practice, practice. From set-up through follow-through, you can create muscle memory by hitting balls on the range regularly.
