<p>Controlling your ball flight and hitting a draw is much easier than  you might think.  And, if you&#8217;d like to lower your scores and master the  course, hitting a draw is a skill you definitely need.</p>
<p>The ball will curve from right to left when you hit a draw, somewhat  similar to a hook shot but a draw is planned and controlled.  Many  golfers practice this shot constantly because it can add significant  distance to their drives.  A properly hit draw produces a lower ball  flight which rolls farther once it lands on the fairway.  You can expect  your game to improve significantly once you perfect hitting a draw.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn how to hit this useful shot, you&#8217;ll need to make sure you incorporate a few things into your swing.</p>
<p>First, hitting a draw requires a strong grip, so rotate your hands  slightly to the right on the shaft.  Don&#8217;t turn the shaft itself, just  rotate your hands.</p>
<p>Next, when you address the ball, close your stance slightly.  A  closed stance not only gives your body the room it needs to make a  complete turn, but permits you achieve to the proper inside-to-outside  swing path.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/chipping">Interested in improving your chipping shots? Click here to learn how!</a></p>
<p>Allow your hands to do the work as your club head strikes the ball.   Your right hand will roll back and revert to a more neutral position,  which allows the face of your club to slightly close.  This is why a  strong grip is so essential to hitting a draw.</p>
<p>Keep your head down while you&#8217;re following through and finishing your  swing.  If you use the proper technique, the ball will start off to the  right, but once it reaches the apex of its trajectory, it will start  curving back to the left, ending up near the center.  If your ball  curves to the left immediately, you&#8217;re hitting a hook, not a draw, so  practice your technique some more.</p>
<p>You can learn a lot by looking at your divot.  When you&#8217;re hitting an  iron, your divot should be pointing directly at your target line or  slightly to the left.  It should not be pointing to the right of the  target.</p>
<p>Hitting a draw properly will take some practice.  A mid-iron works  well for this shot, and many golfers prefer using a 6 iron for a draw.   If you try hitting a draw with that club but you&#8217;re still having  difficulty, take a look at your grips.  Using larger, softer grips will  make hitting a draw more difficult.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get discouraged if you hit hooks when you first start learning  to hit a draw.  Hooks can be expected during the learning process.   Taking a strong grip by rotating your hands to the right takes  practice.  Try making a small adjustment, hitting a few balls to see  what happens, and then making additional adjustments if needed.</p>
<p>As hitting a draw becomes easier and you start perfecting it with  your mid-irons, try it with your driver.  Frequently the driver is the  hardest club to master when it comes to hitting a draw, but learning how  to hit the shot with irons will pave the way for hitting it perfectly  with your driver.  Keep practicing and don&#8217;t get discouraged, because  once you learn how, you&#8217;ll control the shot much better and your scores  will be lower.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re a left-handed golfer, you probably feel left out.  After  all, hundreds of websites provide tips for right-handed golfers, but  looking for tips for lefties must seem like you&#8217;re prospecting for  gold.  Well, we&#8217;ve assembled six simple but helpful left-handed golf tips that beginners might think are worth their weight in  gold.</p>
<p>No matter which side you play from, the mechanics of a good golf  swing are essentially the same.  After you master the basics, you can  progress into more advanced techniques.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re brand-new to the game, one of the most important golf  tips for left-handed golfers &#8211; and right-handers, too &#8211; is to keep your  head down throughout the entire swing.  In fact, one of the most common  mistakes any new player can make is raising the head to watch where the  ball is going after it&#8217;s been hit.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Improving Your Golf Driving!</a></p>
<p>Another very common mistake made by new golfers is not permitting the  hips and body to rotate fully while coming through the ball and into  the follow through.  Lefties should rotate as fully as possible to the  right in order to lend power to the swing.  Lead with your right hip and  follow with your hands.  This concept is one of the keys to striking  the ball solidly.</p>
<p>Although you need to lead your swing with your right hand, you should  finish it with your left.  Use the power of your dominant hand and side  &#8211; for lefties, the left &#8211; to drive through the ball as you hit it.</p>
<p>Another very important golf tip for lefties involves trying to finish  your swing with a complete follow through.  Your swing should not end  flat-footed or back on your heels; instead, end on the ball of your left  foot, with your weight on your right foot.  Finishing this way means  you made the full hip rotation you need for producing maximum power.</p>
<p>No list of golf tips for left-handed golfers would be complete unless  it included some information about good course management.  As you gain  more playing experience you&#8217;ll see that most golf courses have at least  a few holes that &#8220;dogleg&#8221; either left or right.  In other words, these  holes are not straight, instead veering in one direction or the other.   As a lefty, you&#8217;ll need to learn how to hit a draw in order to  successfully play a hole that doglegs right.  A draw is a golf shot that  produces a controlled curve to the right (to the left for right-handed  golfers).</p>
<p>Most of the information written about hitting a draw is directed to  right-handed golfers, so as a lefty you&#8217;ll need to remember to reverse  the instructions.  Make sure you practice this shot, because it will  serve you well throughout the years.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Improving Your Golf Driving!</a></p>
<p>The last of our six left-handed golf tips relates to your  clubs.  Many left-handers use clubs designed for righties, but this is a  big mistake.  Right-handed clubs will never permit a left-handed golfer  to reach his or her full playing potential.  Instead, get yourself a  set of left-handed clubs, either online or in a sporting goods store.   You&#8217;ll find yourself playing much better once you do.<br />

<p>Hitting the ball fat can be every bit as frustrating as hitting a  slice.  Don&#8217;t get discouraged, though, because once you know why you&#8217;re  hitting the ball fat, you can begin working on correcting it.  It&#8217;s a  simple matter of golf swing mechanics.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re hitting the ball fat, it&#8217;s almost impossible to identify  what you&#8217;re doing wrong without someone else there to help you.  If you  can, have one of your golf buddies watch you swing while looking for  whether you have any of the swing flaws described below.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re probably dropping your back shoulder (the right one, if you&#8217;re  right-handed, the left shoulder if you&#8217;re a lefty) if you&#8217;re hitting  the ball fat.  Dropping your shoulder will cause the club to hit the  ground early, before it ever gets to the ball.  It&#8217;s often caused by  trying to swing too hard and starting the downswing with too much hip  motion.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something you can try to illustrate this principle.  Grab a  club and address the ball normally.  Then bring the club up to the apex  of your backswing and stop.  With the club at the top of your swing,  slide your hips horizontally toward your target and watch what your back  shoulder does.  It dips!</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/supgolfing">Drop Six Strokes off Your Game&#8230; Guaranteed, Click Here!</a></p>
<p>Now, ask your buddy to watch your hips and back shoulder while you  repeat this exercise slowly.  If he or she sees your shoulder dropping,  you&#8217;ve probably learned why you&#8217;re hitting the ball fat.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need to learn how to use your lower body properly during the  swing in order to correct the problem.  Your hips must coil and uncoil,  not slide laterally, during your swing.  If you focus on initiating your  downswing with your arms, your hips will follow quite naturally.</p>
<p>You can also focus on keeping your lead (front) shoulder down during  your swing.  Practice this a few times and your shots will get better as  your body gets the message.</p>
<p>In addition, you need to remember to keep your lead arm straight as  you begin your backswing.  As you reach the top of your backswing, tell  yourself to keep your forward shoulder down, and then begin your  downswing.  As your hips uncoil, don&#8217;t permit them to slide forward  horizontally.</p>
<p>All these tips are easy, but you&#8217;ll need to spend some time  practicing and trying different things.  Naturally, the best place to do  this is at the practice range.  You might even be able to find someone  there to watch your swing for you.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/supgolfing">Drop Six Strokes off Your Game&#8230; Guaranteed, Click Here!</a></p>
<p>Remember to go through all the clubs in your bag while you&#8217;re  practicing, not just one or two of them.  Hitting the ball fat is  possible with any club, from driver to sand wedge, so you&#8217;ll need to  practice with each club in order to master the art of hitting the ball  crisply.  Many players, even professionals, start with their short irons  and work up to the longer clubs when they&#8217;re learning a new shot or a  new technique.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_559" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance"><img class="size-medium wp-image-559 " title="Golf Tips for Better Driving" src="http://www.rawgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/golf-tips-for-better-driving-300x199.jpg" alt="Golf Tips for Better Driving" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Improving Your Golf Driving!</p></div>
<p>Hitting the ball off the tee is a crucial part of the golf game, so  players of all skill levels are always looking for golf tips for better driving.  Not only is driving one of the most important aspects of golf,  it&#8217;s also one of the most difficult to do well.  This makes finding  good golf tips for better driving important for a large number of  players.</p>
<p>Many golfers are erratic off the tee.  Half their drives might be  just fine, but the other half are, well, &#8220;less than fine.&#8221;  We&#8217;ve  assembled some effective golf tips for better driving that can help any  player, from beginners to low-handicappers.</p>
<p>Thousands of articles are available on this important subject, but  not all of them provide the same quality or amount of information.  One  of the most important golf tips for better driving is also one of the  most overlooked:  keep the ball in play.  Many players concentrate on  hitting the ball as far as they can, but even impressive distance will  backfire if it means your ball hooks or slices out of bounds or gets  lost in the trees and you need to take a penalty.  Whenever you can,  choose accuracy over distance.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Improving Your Golf Driving!</a></p>
<p>Focus on taking the correct posture whenever you address the ball.   The posture that&#8217;s correct is slightly different for everyone, but there  are some common denominators you can use to start with:</p>
<ul>
<li> Your feet should be placed shoulder-wide, with the ball positioned  off your left heel (for right-handed players). Your head should be  behind the ball from the beginning through the end of your swing.</li>
<li> Your knees should be flexed slightly, similar to a baseball  shortstop preparing to catch a fly ball. Some golfers hunch over the  ball or stand too upright.</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the golf tips for better driving you&#8217;ll want to remember,  especially if you&#8217;re a novice golfer, is that you&#8217;ll frequently hit a  poor drive if you&#8217;re trying to hit the ball as hard as you can.  To get  more distance, you don&#8217;t need to grip it and rip it.  Instead, maximize  your club head speed as it approaches the impact zone.  Faster club head  speed means more distance.</p>
<p>Certain golf tips for better driving apply to golfers who use the  bigger, 460 cc drivers.  These drivers deliver more energy to the ball  upon impact.  Although they&#8217;ve become extremely popular, they do require  a lot of practice to master.  Many experienced golfers are surprised  when they learn they&#8217;re not able to replace their old-fashioned  traditional driver with a larger club and immediately be able to hit it  with the same amount of skill.</p>
<p>Typically, the larger drivers require you to tee the ball up higher  than you would with an older driver.  In fact, you might need to buy  some taller tees than those you&#8217;re used to.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Improving Your Golf Driving!</a></p>
<p>Our final golf tip for better driving is simple:  practice.  The best  way you can improve any aspect of your game, including hitting the ball  off the tee, is through consistent, regular practice.  If your practice  time is limited, try spending half an hour per week on the driving  range with just one or two clubs along with your driver.</p>
<p>Hundreds of golf tips for better driving are available on the  Internet.  The more you know about golf and the golf swing, the better  you&#8217;ll play.<br />

<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering how to break 80, you have plenty of  company.  Many dedicated golfers reach the point where shooting in the  70s becomes their target.  Although this goal can be elusive, reaching  it is actually easier than you think.</p>
<p>If you ask 20 good golfers how to break 80, you&#8217;ll probably hear 20 different answers.  We&#8217;ll discuss just one of them below.</p>
<p>A typical round involves hitting a variety of shots, from driving to  putting and everything in between.  However, you&#8217;ll need to master  hitting off the tee, whether it&#8217;s with your driver or your pitching  wedge, in order to know how to break 80.</p>
<p>One big reason so many golfers fail to break 80 is because they lose  too many strokes off the tee.  It only takes a few bad drives to ruin  your score.  Think about it:  if you hit a slice deep into the trees,  you&#8217;re probably setting yourself up for a bogey at best on that hole.   So, mastering your tee shots is necessary to know how to break 80.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/break80">Click Here To Discover How To Break 80 and Shoot Like the Pros!</a></p>
<p>In addition to direction, you must also control the distance of your  tee shots.  The magical combination of the proper distance and direction  is what creates opportunities for eagles on par 5s and birdie chances  on all other holes.  This combination will give you the ability to shoot  in the mid- to high-70s consistently.</p>
<p>Here are a few tips you can use to help you maximize your tee shots:</p>
<p>First, like anything else, practice is essential for hitting quality  tee shots.  Try different things to learn what works best for you.  As a  side benefit, you might learn a few new shots to add to your arsenal.</p>
<p>For example, try teeing the ball at different heights.  Start by  teeing it high, then at a medium height.  Finally, try teeing it low.  A  low tee height can give you some additional control.</p>
<p>You can also try gripping the club differently.  Gripping down on the  club by lowering your hands on the shaft can be an effective way to  gain additional control.  It also allows you to make quicker mid-swing  adjustments.</p>
<p>Develop a practice routine which incorporates every club you might  hit off a tee, including wedges or other short irons you might use for a  short par 3.  After all, you need to use the club that&#8217;s most  appropriate for the distance, whether it&#8217;s your pitching wedge, your  driver or something in between.</p>
<p>You might want to start using one of the bigger 460 cc drivers while  you&#8217;re learning how to break 80.  Just remember that mastering one of  these clubs will require practice on the driving range.</p>
<p>Your goal is not only to add distance, but also to control the ball  consistently when you&#8217;re hitting off the tee.  A long drive will hurt  you, not help you, if it ends up in a hazard or deep in the woods.  If  you can&#8217;t control the ball&#8217;s direction when you hit it long, sacrifice  distance, because control is more important.</p>

<p>You&#8217;ll need time and plenty of practice to learn how to hit the ball  properly off the tee.  If you&#8217;re persistent your scores will start  coming down, slowly but surely.  Keep at it, and before long you&#8217;ll know  how to break 80 because you&#8217;ll be shooting in the 70s!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_563" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance"><img class="size-medium wp-image-563 " title="How to Cure a Slice" src="http://www.rawgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/how-to-cure-a-slice-300x199.jpg" alt="How to Cure a Slice" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Discover The Secrets to Cure a Slice!</p></div>
<p>Learning how to cure a slice is a top priority for many amateur  golfers.  Although there are plenty of other bad golf shots (hooks,  shanks and so on), few are as annoying or frustrating as that big curve  off to the right.  Fortunately, learning how to cure a slice doesn&#8217;t  have to be difficult.  Use the following tips to learn how to eliminate  that ugly banana ball from your game.</p>
<p>Frequently, an improper setup position is responsible for shots  veering off to the right.  So, to learn how to cure a slice, first check  your setup at address.  Make sure your feet and shoulders are lined up  with your target line.  For most shots your left foot should be placed  directly beneath your left shoulder.  If your stance is open or closed  the ball will probably not fly on a straight path.</p>
<p>Next, take a look at your grip.  Don&#8217;t grasp the club too tightly  because that will restrict your swing.  Don&#8217;t hold it too loosely,  either, because then your club face can move when it strikes the ball.   Grip the club firmly but not tightly.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover The Secrets to Cure a Slice!</a></p>
<p>You should also check whether your grip is neutral, strong or weak.   These terms relate to the position of your hands relative to the shaft.   To check your grip, take your normal stance and grip your club, then  look at your hands.  You should see two knuckles on your left hand (or  right hand, for lefties).  More than two means your grip is too strong,  while fewer means your grip is too weak.</p>
<p>Knowing how to cure a slice also involves making sure the club face  is square as it impacts the ball.  If you leave the club face open  you&#8217;ll hit a slice for sure.</p>
<p>You might also hit a slice because you&#8217;re having issues with your hip  turn.  You need to make a smooth, full hip turn during your downswing,  through impact, and during your follow through.  You won&#8217;t be able to  hit the ball with a square club face unless your hips rotate smoothly  through your swing.  Continue your hip rotation after you hit the ball  until you arrive at a nice, high finish.</p>
<p>Raising your head too soon after striking the ball is another reason  balls fly off to the right.  It&#8217;s a common problem because players  naturally want to watch their ball flight.  It can, however, lead to the  types of mistakes that cause a slice.</p>
<p>Swinging too fast is yet another common cause of slicing the ball.   Fortunately this one is easy to fix.  Don&#8217;t make the typical mistake of  speeding up your hands as you begin your downswing, because it won&#8217;t add  the distance you&#8217;re hoping for.  Although club head speed is important  for distance, you need to create it with your entire body, not just your  hands.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover The Secrets to Cure a Slice!</a></p>
<p>Identifying the cause is a key component of learning how to cure a  slice.  Naturally, this will take some time and practice.  Your swing is  unique to you, and you&#8217;ll need to eliminate possible causes one by one  in order to identify what you&#8217;re doing wrong.  Once you identify the  cause(s), you can correct your technique.</p>
<p>Learning how to cure a slice is possible, but it requires time,  practice and patience.  It will be worth it, though, because once you&#8217;ve  solved the problem, you&#8217;ll enjoy the game more as well as shoot lower  scores.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_565" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance"><img class="size-medium wp-image-565 " title="Drive a Golf Ball Straight" src="http://www.rawgolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/drive-a-golf-ball-straight-300x197.jpg" alt="Drive a Golf Ball Straight" width="300" height="197" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Drive a Golf Ball Straight!</p></div>
<p>Is there any golfer in existence who doesn&#8217;t want to drive a golf  ball straight?  Of course not!  Of course, the driver is probably the  most difficult club to master.  After all, it&#8217;s the longest golf club,  and in general, the longer the club, the harder it is to use properly.   That doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t learn to drive a golf ball straight, though &#8211;  with a few tips and some consistent, productive practice you&#8217;ll be  driving it right down the middle.</p>
<p>The best drives have power behind them as well as minimal backspin on  the ball and a fairly low trajectory.  All three characteristics allow  the ball to roll for additional yards after it lands, and when you  achieve all three, your game and scores will become significantly  better.</p>
<p>When you want to drive a golf ball straight, one of the first things  you must understand is how important it is to maintain leverage  throughout your entire swing.  You&#8217;ll need to keep your head behind the  ball from address through impact in order to do this.</p>
<p>You also need to understand that club head speed is more important  than arm strength when you&#8217;re seeking distance.  Trying to muscle your  shot will almost always cause you to hit the ball poorly.  Your hips and  legs generate speed and power, so use them to your advantage.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Drive a Golf Ball Straight!</a></p>
<p>Your driver is much more inflexible about your swing path than some  of your other clubs.  Keep the swing plane low (shallow) when you begin  your backswing.</p>
<p>When you want to drive a golf ball straight, always have your hands  ahead of the club head at the moment of impact.  When you wrists snap  forward as you strike the ball, you&#8217;ll generate additional club head  speed and power.</p>
<p>Some golfers try to slow or stop their swing after they hit the  ball.  To avoid this common mistake, make sure your arms and body are  moving throughout the entire swing, including your follow through.</p>
<p>Avoiding an excessively tight grip is also essential when you want to  drive a golf ball straight.  You want to whip through the ball with  your club, not chop at it.</p>
<p>Slow down your backswing if you tend to hit a slice off the tee.   Your downswing might be too hard or too fast, causing you to come out of  the proper swing path.  Take a look at your grip, also.  If you can&#8217;t  see at least two knuckles on your forward hand while you&#8217;re looking down  at it during address, your grip is setting you up to fly the ball  right.  It works the other way around, too.  If you see more than two or  three knuckles on your lead hand at address, you&#8217;ll probably hit a hook  to the left.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/longdistance">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Drive a Golf Ball Straight!</a></p>
<p>Our final tip on how to drive a golf ball straight involves properly  aligning your body to ensure that you don&#8217;t pull or push the ball off  the tee.  You&#8217;ll be able to tell by looking at the divot you might take  during your shot.  If your divot points either right or left of your  target line, your alignment is off.</p>
<p>Put some of these tips into action and you&#8217;ll probably see  improvement in your game.  What&#8217;s the best tip of all when you want to  drive a golf ball straight?  Stick with it and practice!<br />

<p>It&#8217;s not as difficult to fix a hook shot as you might think.  The key  to learning how to eliminate this wacky but frustrating shot off to the  left is to identify the cause.  Several things can create a hooked golf  shot, but we&#8217;ve assembled four tips for golfers who want to learn how  to fix a hook permanently.</p>
<ol>
<li>A hook results from a counter-clockwise spin being imparted to  the ball when it&#8217;s launched.  The faster the spin, the more severe the  hook will be.You might be wondering what causes this counter-clockwise spin.  The  short answer is that the spin is created when the ball is hit with a  closed club face &#8211; pointing to the left of the target for a right-handed  golfer or to the right for a lefty.  Always try to strike the ball with  a square, neutral club face which points directly at the target.
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/break80">Click Here To Learn How To Fix a Hook &amp; Improve Your All Round Golfing Ability!</a></p>
</li>
<li>Most experts and other people in the know agree that when you  want to fix a hook, the first and best place to start is with the grip.   Here&#8217;s how you can check your grip &#8211; don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s easy: Take a club and assume your normal stance and setup.  Now, look down  at your hands.  You should see two knuckles on your lead hand (your  left, if you&#8217;re right-handed; your right hand if you&#8217;re left-handed).   If you see two knuckles, your grip is neutral and ideal &#8211; not too weak  and not too strong.  If your grip is too strong, with three or more  knuckles visible, you&#8217;re setting yourself up to hit a hook.Now things can get a bit trickier.  While you&#8217;re still in your  address position, look down at the club face and see if it&#8217;s square to  your target.  It probably is, at least at address.  But, it might not  stay that way as the club moves toward the ball during your downswing.   If your grip is too strong, your hands will cause the club face to close  at impact.All this means if you want to fix a hook, you need to evaluate your  grip honestly and take measures to modify it, if necessary.   Unfortunately, many golfers refuse to even consider modifying their  grip.  Others try, but aren&#8217;t willing to spend the time and practice  necessary to get used to it, so they slip back into gripping the club  improperly.</li>
<li>If you&#8217;ve checked your grip and it&#8217;s neutral, the next step in  learning how to fix a hook is to check your balance.  Your weight should  be distributed evenly over the balls of your feet, not on your heels or  toes.  This weight distribution will allow you to have a smooth hip  turn and still maintain your balance.  Striking the ball while off  balance can cause a hook.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s very important for your lead arm (your left arm, for  righties; your right arm, if you&#8217;re a lefty) to be straight as the club  strikes the ball.  Ask someone to watch you hit some balls and let you  know if your arm is straight or not.  Keep in mind that anything that  causes a closed club face at impact will result in a hook.</li>
</ol>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/break80">Click Here To Learn How To Fix a Hook &amp; Improve Your All Round Golfing Ability!</a></p>
<p>One of these tips will probably fix your hook.  Try them out, one at a  time, hitting several balls each time.  You might need to make some  minor adjustments until you start hitting the ball straight instead of a  wild hook to the left.  It might take some patience and practice, but  when you want to fix a hook, you&#8217;ll need to use a process of  elimination.<br />

<p>Your game will greatly improve if you can learn how to hit fairway  woods straight and true.  You might use your woods less often than some  of your other clubs, but when you need them, you<em> really</em> want to  hit them well, because they can help you save par after a bad drive or  give you a chance at an elusive eagle.  To learn to hit fairway woods  properly, you&#8217;ll need to know the proper mechanics and then practice  them.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve put together some tips that should help you if you&#8217;re just learning how to hit fairway woods:</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/golfswingguru">Click Here NOW and Discover The Proper Way to Hit Fairway Woods!</a></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Never confuse your woods with your irons.</strong> In some cases the  distances you hit them might be similar, but the swing mechanics you  need to employ are not.  For example, you should take a divot with your  irons, but not with your woods.</li>
<li><strong>Always align your feet with your target unless you want to hit a  fade or a draw.</strong> Place your feet roughly shoulder-width apart, and play  the ball slightly forward.  If you&#8217;re right-handed, the ball should be  roughly in line with your left foot (your right foot if you&#8217;re a  lefty).  Keep your arms and back straight, but flex your knees slightly.</li>
<li><strong>If your ball is lying in the rough, tamp down some of the grass  between the club head and the ball.</strong> As long as you don&#8217;t touch or move  the ball this is permitted by the Rules of Golf.</li>
<li><strong>Always keep your lead arm as straight as you can during your  swing.</strong> You&#8217;ll hit fairway woods much better when your hips coil during  your backswing and then uncoil in your downswing.  You should also keep  your eyes on the ball.  Don&#8217;t raise your head during your swing;  instead, keep it down until after impact.</li>
<li><strong>It might be tempting, but don&#8217;t try to scoop the ball off the  ground when you hit fairway woods.  Instead, hit the ball crisply and  trust the loft of the club to do the work.</strong> Don&#8217;t try to hit the ball  too hard, either.  Many golfers, especially beginners, make the common  mistake of trying to hit the ball as hard as they can.  This strategy is  almost guaranteed to backfire.  Instead, making a smooth, controlled  swing along the correct swing path will send the ball on its way to the  target.</li>
<li><strong>Know when to use your fairway woods and when a different club  would be better.</strong> Don&#8217;t automatically assume a wood is the right club to  use just because you&#8217;re a long way from the green.  Instead, think  about your lie and other factors.  For example, if you&#8217;re in the woods,  an iron might be a better choice, just to get your ball back into play.   Going for the green by hitting a fairway wood in this situation can be a  major mistake.</li>
<li><strong>Knowing how to hit fairway woods properly requires practice.</strong> You&#8217;ll need to become proficient at striking the ball cleanly.  You&#8217;ll  also need to become familiar with how far you hit the ball with each one  of your woods.  Practicing on the range is the only way you can do  this.  Remember to practice bunker shots, too.</li>
</ol>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/golfswingguru">Click Here NOW and Discover The Proper Way to Hit Fairway Woods and Improve Your Game!</a></p>
<p>Your scores will go down and your overall game will improve if you  learn how to hit fairway woods properly.  They can be potent weapons in  your arsenal, so practice until you learn how to use them.</p>

<p>Practicing with effective putting drills can be one of the quickest  ways you can improve your golf game.  It&#8217;s not uncommon for golfers to  waste a lot of strokes once they arrive on the green.  Naturally, this  inflates their scores badly.  You can learn how to drop the ball into  the hole in fewer strokes by practicing with putting drills that work.</p>
<p>Experienced golfers know a good short game is crucial to scoring  well.  It&#8217;s easy to ruin a good game with poor putting.  3-putts and  even 4-putts can happen way too often, but putting drills can help you  hone your putting skills and lower your scores.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re practicing with putting drills, focus on three very  important principles, all of which are required for good putting:   keeping the putter face square; maintaining a smooth putting stroke; and  improving your distance control.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 20px; color: #094c80; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 20px;"><a style="color: #094c80; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.rawgolf.com/go/putting">Click Here NOW and Discover the Secrets to Putting Using Effective Putting Drills!</a></p>
<h3>Keeping the Putter Face Square</h3>
<p>You don&#8217;t want to strike the ball with your putter face open or  closed.  If you have a tendency to do this, put a ball on the practice  green and then insert a tee into the ground about a foot behind it and a  coin about six inches in front of it.  Bring your putter back until it  taps the tee, then swing forward and strike the ball.  Make sure your  putter face remains square as it passes over the coin.</p>
<h3>Maintaining a Smooth Putting Stroke</h3>
<p>All putting drills should be targeted toward achieving a specific  goal.  Swinging your putter smoothly is essential for maintaining the  proper tempo and striking the ball solidly.  Once again, put a ball on  the practice green and insert a tee in the same position as mentioned  before.  Bring your putter back until it barely taps the tee and then  swing forward.  Your arms should move like a pendulum and your hands  should stay quiet and still.</p>
<h3>Improving Your Distance Control</h3>
<p>Learning how to control the distance of your putts is one of the most  important putting drills of all.  Mastering distance control boils down  to developing an elusive skill called &#8220;touch&#8221; or &#8220;feel,&#8221; and it can  only be acquired by practice.  If you look around, you&#8217;ll probably find  dozens of different putting drills designed to help you master distance  control.  One of the best, though, involves placing five tees on the  putting green four feet apart.  The fifth tee should be 20 feet away.   Practice trying to get the ball to each of those tees (and distances)  consistently.  Rolling the ball past a tee by a few inches is fine, but  don&#8217;t leave any balls short of a tee or roll any well past one.</p>
<p>This putting drill doesn&#8217;t use an actual hole, because that might  shift your concentration onto accuracy.  Distance control is what&#8217;s  important here, so using tees as targets is psychologically better than  using a cup.  Although good putting combines distance and accuracy, it&#8217;s  often better to work on learning them separately.</p>

<p>There are many putting drills available on golf websites or even from  your golf pro.  These are just a few of them.  To lower your scores by  mastering putting, you&#8217;ll need to put in some time and energy  practicing.  Learning how to read greens and how to lag your putts close  are important putting skills, but you&#8217;ll also need to practice  effective putting drills, because they really do help.<br />
