Golf Swing Compensations

“A bad swing gives you minimum time to make maximum compensations, and a good swing gives you maximum time to make minimum compensations.”   Mac O’Grady

Since we are all humans and not machines we can only strive to develop a swing that is easy for us to repeat and requires less timing. Reducing the compensations in our swing is critical to improvement. The swing motion lasts just a few moments and the more compensations we have require us to rely more on timing or put another way; the more moving parts you have in your swing, the less time you have to correct them. To become more consistent, you have to reduce your compensations to reduce your need for timing. The key is to find a coach or instructor that can help you understand your compensations and develop a clear understanding and plan to help you accomplish this. One area that is most often over looked is how important your equipment is to your learning process.   Quite simply  “Equipment Affects Motion”  for more on this subject visit the link.
