Relaxation and the key to Golf Swing

As simple as it may sound – relaxing when playing golf is the key way to maximise both distance and accuracy. However its essential to remember not too relax too much! Otherwise if you do the swing falls apart, with all natural momentum disappearing in all directions. Over –aggression forces the muscles to tense, reducing the body’s natural swing momentum effectively stopping the transferral of pivot/energy momentum.

Often when playing (especially after a poor shot) the mind tends to stray towards over-aggression as a result of both lack of distance/.control or the feeling of frustration that wells up from poor play. A simple breathing exercise helps to focus the mind and aids a calmer shot preparation/action.

Keeping calm often requires a re-focus. Reigning in the emotions helps tone down the power that overkills a shot.
