What is meant by a cupped wrist in the golf swing?

What is a acupped wrist ina golf swing. And does anyone know wherei can get a picture of adam scott's grip?

"Cupped" is usually used to describe a poor position of the hands at the top of the backswing – it would be with your left wrist bent back toward your forearm. it could also be a position at impact when you have released the hands way too early. in either case it is not something you want.

idk what a cupped grip is but google adam scott. that'll pry work

What is the best golf swing instruction book?

I've always kind of cycled with my golf swing, especially with my driver. I can only hit my driver straight every so often and I've never been able to use a 3 or 4 iron. does anyone have any suggestions on good books that could help me out with my swing and perhaps all aspects of my game?

Extraordinary Golf: The Art of the Possible by Fred Shoemaker
The inner Game of Golf Hardcover by W. Timothy Gallwey

These books focus on a more natural approach to the golf swing rather than try to fit you into a mold.

Reading is fine for gaining an understanding of the mechanics or mental aspects, but to fix your swing, you are going to need a professional to see what exactly you are doing and what exactly you need to do to fix it.
For most beginners, hitting a 3 or 4 iron is very difficult. I would suggest that no beginner even have these clubs in their bag. Use hybrids instead, they are much more forgiving and will give you a better flight.

Unless you are an exceptional athlete that is blessed with very good rhythm, timing and hand-eye coordination, or you have lots of time and money to spend on lessons and practice, you will never be able to get consistently good results with a conventional golf swing.
If you want a swing that is easier to master take a look at some of the alternative golf swings. This one worked for me.

is there such thing as the so-called BEST MANUAL?

swinging at the range w/ a pro golfer is still the best.

TIP:

find a instructor for kids and get him as your coach.

it might sound quite embarrassing,

but those folks are really great teachers.

i mean, they are patient..

and will really teach you even the basics.

Have any golf tips for a beginner?

Any useful tips?

Get some golf clubs and a bag and some shoes. balls help oh and find a golf course and someone who knows how to play to go with you

TWO ANSWERS AND NOTHING WORTH a CRAP… GO TO THE DRIVING RANGE WAS THE BEST TIP SO FAR… I WOULD SAY GO TO THE LIBRARY AND GET BOOKS ON THE GAME(FEMALE AVITAR) NANCY LOPEZ HAS SOME GOOD BOOKS OUT… READ ABOUT THE BEGINNING GOLF SWING AND TRY IT AT HOME, WITH OR WITHOUT a CLUB IN HAND… PROGRESS UNTIL YOU FEEL YOU COULD HIT a BALL… THEN GO TO THE RANGE, SWING SLOWLY UNTIL YOU CAN HIT THE BALL STRAIGHT, THEN WORK ON DISTANCE… DON'T PUSH IT, THIS IS a TOUGH GAME TO LEARN, TAKE YOUR TIME AND MOST OF ALL HAVE FUN…

Wetbread has the best answer. Get a pro, and buy 20 to 25 lessons over a 6 month period, and have your first two lessons on how to grip and swing a club, and lessons 3 – 7 just short game. Because you will develop your swing, starting with the sand wedge, chipper and pitching wedge. the next 15 or so lessons will be spent on the range expanding your knowledge of the swing. Be sure to have an instructor who uses V1 software, records your swing, and records the analysis for you to take home on a VHS tape. Be sure the guy teaching you has won some pro events so he has credibility. Don't even dare walking on a course until your lessons are over. Also, don't ever just go the driving range to hit balls. that is the biggest waste of time ever, and all it will do is reinforce the negative. my next suggestion is to also buy the V1 software home edition, load it on your laptop, and bring your laptop and camera to the range, and record you swing, and after each swing, do a self analysis. you will only need to buy a very small bucket to get that ball to fly. Don't be like all of the other idiots who just hit balls at the range and reinforce the negative, and probably hurt their back while they are at it, because they probably have poor posture. if you have good posture, you can hit golf balls all day, and never feel a thing. Therefore, in conjuction with your lessons, go to the gym, and do golf specific exercises. You may want to take one of your lessons to have the teacher show you exercises to do in the gym. Also, don't be afraid to bring your own camera to the lessons and record it too, in addition to the instructors comments that are recorded on the VHS tape. Good luck.

Why do I have right wrist pain when I swing a golf club or bend it a certain way?

I have a sharp pain in my right wrist but it only happens when I twist or roll my wrist/hand a certain way. I get the pain at the start of the second half of my golf swing where you roll your wrists. it is usually a sharp pain when I hit the ball as well. the pain is on the back of my wrist and when i bend my wrist forward i can see a little bit of inflammation. What could it be?

How can we prevent carpal tunnel syndrome?

Prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome may involve redesigning work stations, tools, or the job, and educating workers. Proper work station design reduces awkward wrist positions and minimizes the stressful effects of repetitive motions. Awkward positions can originate from unsuitable work station designs that do not take into account the size and proportions of the human body. Work stations should be adjustable and should accommodate a vast majority of people who work in that area.

What should the wrist hinge feel like in the golf swing?

I just began golfing and find that many of the instructional aids don't discuss what the hands should be doing during the golf swing. my question is should I hinge my wrist towards my forearm or should they hinge towards the sky? thanks for any help.

One drill I learned was to address the ball normally, take the club straight back until the club is pointing straight backward and is parallel to the ground. Next, raise the club to a vertical position by bending your wrists. this will give you the feeling, strength and flexibility in your wrists. I'd say your wrists should bend towards your forearms so you don't open or close the club face too much. however, when your wrists start to bend in your backswing they do probably bend towards the sky also.

The real kicker to wrist hinge is being able to hold onto it as long as possible on the downswing and still maintain your timing. If you can do that, you're doing great. You'll probably experience more power and crisper ball striking.

I have trouble doing that.

Any drills to help with golf swing i cannot keep left arm Straight and my knees always dip?

Have trouble with this on golf swing.

The main reason that people break down their left arm on the backswing is because they have not made a big enough shoulder turn. then to compensate and get the club to parallel they have to break down the left elbow. keep your head up, as the first answer mentioned, and increase your shoulder turn, you may need to do exercises that increase your flexibility, and you will be able to keep your left arm from breaking down.

Incidentally, there is a thing called the X factor in a golf swing, it is the ratio of shoulder turn to hip turn on the back swing, in other words, the greater you can turn your shoulders as compared to your hips on the takeaway, the more power you will generate. So, turn your shoulders more on the takeaway, leave your hips quiet, and you will have a firmer left arm, and you will increase your driving distance.

The simple golf swing instructions is in an e-book written by David Nevogt. This book is written for the beginner to the average golfer who are having problems improving their golf score but cannot figure out how.
the instructions is in a step by step manner and do allow you to practise one step till you get that right and then move to the next step till you mastered every step .
the system concentrate on how to get your swing consistent and by doing that your score will drop. the consistency you get by using your spin as an axis on witch your shoulders rotate. when your golf swing lack consistency you can develop problems like short distances, hook and slicing of the ball and this is why 89.5% of people have high scores and give up the golf game for good.
If you have this problem this book will help you better your golf game in just two weeks or your money back.

for your knees dipping think of keeping your chin up. not to much but make yourself look down on the ball and try not to move your head during swing. for the left arm straight id stick your right arm out straight at shoulder height then hold your club with your left hand and take swings and on the downswing it makes you straighten your left arm out. oh and don't expect great control over the club to be able to hit the ball with just your left arm. Aim will be way off but the drill will still work…

I found this article was quite helpful:

"Tiger Woods Swing Speed or How to Increase your Swing Speed in Six Simple Steps"

A lot of people want to know what swing speed Tiger Woods reaches. Here’s the answer: 130 mph! for comparison: pro golfers generally achieve a club speed of around 100 mph.

Now, you probably want to know how you can increase your swing speed. Besides your club grip and your distance you need to work on the full swing (that you us to tee off or in the fairway). You can divide the full swing in three parts: 1) the back swing 2) the down swing and 3) the follow-through.

The back swing (step 1-3) is where the power comes from – it basically sets the speed of your swing and how far the ball will go. In down swing (step 4) is the phase where the club goes down and hits the ball. the goal here is to hit the center of the ball – not the left or the right side. the end part is called the follow-through (steps 5-6). a proper execution here is necessary for a good ball contact. Here’s the whole motion sequence:

1) Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent slightly.

2) Lean forward just a bit and move the club parallel with your feet.

3) Moving your back towards the target, get your hands up over your right shoulder (if you’re right-handed) with your left knee moving to the right. the weight should be on your right knee.

4) Drop your arms with your right elbow slightly to your right hip and hit the ball.

5) Extend your right arm and the club in a straight line. keep V-position of your arms to reach the maximum speed.

6) Now your hands should be over your left shoulder. Pay attention that the weight is on the left foot.

For more information on the perfect full swing, I recommend the Simple Golf Swing System. It’s arguably the best golf instruction system available on the internet and will allow you to improve your game dramatically in just two weeks.

How do I use legs in golf swing, can anyone help me?

I am an above average golfer in my opinion and have a 10.4 handicap with an average drive of 240 yards with a draw, and I am always attempting to improve my golf swing whether it is through magazines, reading on-line, or watching television. the main thing I notice is that golfers are always talking about generating power through legs and hips. whenever I attempt to use more legs and hips I either move forward and hit off the heel, or get a major slice. My current swing I just keep a large majority of weight on my back foot for as long as I possibly can. I know that this can result in duck hooks, but I only get about one of these at most a round. Please offer any advise or drills so I can figure out how to use more hips and legs.

You have to maintain some flex in your knees or else you're gonna hit some thin shots and top the ball. To make solid contact, you have to maintain the flex in your knees and stay down and rotate through the shot. you have to use your legs to do this. Watch Tiger Woods' swing in slow motion. on his down swing, he will do what I call a semi squat first. He'll use his legs to start his down swing.

As a teaching pro I would need to stand in front of you to show you what you need to do. Essentially your legs create the tension between your two coils which in turn provide the power which gives you distance.
There are a lot of different aspects that come into play with the legs.
May I suggest you look at Pure Point Golf in the link that I have placed in the source box?
Or go for a lesson.

I have just got this down, not that it works with every drive but as a golfer you know every stroke is never the same. when I take the club back I take my front foot a bit off the ground (I know this is not proper golf ettiquite for a drive), when I bring the club forward I shift my weight from one leg to the other. very similar to how you would swing a bat at a ball. you keep the same grip and the same swing the only difference is the movement of your body. most important is to keep your eye on the ball and consciencously know where the club face is going to hit the ball. I was getting about 170 on my drives and I am female, if I hit it right with this method I can hit 200 and it feels great. I bought the practice balls and spent some time on the range before I tried this on the course, as some went about 2 feet off the tee because it alters your down swing.

Try this: Put your attention on your belt-buckle, try to turn it 45 degrees to the back while your shoulder should turn about 80-90 degrees to the back on a FULL-UP-SWING. (You can start by a half or 3/4 swing too)
On the DOWN-SWING, focusing on swing your belt-buckle from the back to the middle, where it's pointing the ball, and finally to the front facing the target. and try to focus your attention on doing that, instead of your arms and your shoulder. (Your arms and shoulders will following your hips turning).
This drill should make you lead your down-swing with your low-body turning first, thus generate more power.
Hope this helps.

Golf Swing Drills To Improve Your Chipping

The chipping stroke, though being easy, is often neglected by several beginner golf players. Chipping is, in fact, the one, which involves the least amount of movement other than putting. Here are some golf swing drills that will help you to perfect the chipping shot.

While playing a chip shot, there should be a triangle formed with your arms and shoulders. This triangle should stay in place until you are done with your chipping stroke. To get this triangle perfect, you need to practice various golf swing drills.

One way to ensure that you have the proper triangle is to setup for a chip shot just as you always do. However, before swinging, take a new club and join it with your first club so that it extends a foot above the end of the first one. This means that you need to hold the first club with a normal grip and place the second club upside-down in such a way that it points down and your hand is placed on the shaft of the second club while simultaneously gripping the original or first club. while doing so, the face of the second club should be pointing upwards.

One important thing to note while chipping is to see that you keep your wrists firm and strong while playing the chip shot. By practicing this drill, you will definitely become a much better chipper. In addition, you can practice distance control of your chips as it also contributes in improving your chipping. To do this, you need to practice landing a ball into a small circle from a distance of more than 3 feet. If you are able to land a ball into the target for 5 consecutive times then move back one foot and practice again. Remember, practice makes perfect and hence you need to practice this with all your clubs that you chip with and not just with your wedges.

Another thing you need to consider while playing a chip shot is to keep your leading arm as straight as possible at the time of your follow-through, especially for short pitches. This will ensure that you hit the ball right on target. In addition, it will help you to have a consistent strike. You may find this a bit difficult to do as you will feel that you need to bend the leading arm at the elbow after impact. However, with practice you will naturally get over the habit of bending the leading arm. This will also considerably improve your chipping.

These golf swing drills will help you to perfect the act of chipping. By following these drills, you will definitely be able to gain more consistency in your chip shots and can save many shots that will lower your scores.
