Cycling Your Way To A Better Golf Swing

Most golfers almost daily switch from swing thought to swing thought as they try to improve their golf swing. Over a couple of years, it's not unrealistic to think that the average golfer has probably attempted to improve their swing with at least fifty different swing concepts. Can this approach help them get better? Not likely!

The way to become a better golfer is to continuously practice the same few key golf swing fundamentals over and over. Realize that you will never perform any of these few fundamental perfectly, unless you happen to be one of the best golfers in the world, so you will always have something on which to work—no need to go searching in magazines or books for the nonexistent "secret" that you hope will make you a better golfer.

I call the practicing of golf swing fundamentals "cycling through the fundamentals", and it's just as the name implies—you work on one fundamental for a period of time (I recommend about a month per fundamental, or phase, for my students) then you move on to the next phase. After roughly 4 months, you've worked on the main fundamentals so you're ready to start the cycle again. Each time you cycle through the fundamentals, you improve the level of your swing as a whole.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that if a little is good, a lot is better. For the first couple of years, work on a fundamental for a month only, no more, before moving on to the next fundamental. Always keep in mind that the goal is to raise the caliber of your entire swing by improving all fundamentals. You shouldn't try to improve just one aspect of your swing to the exclusion of the other fundamentals.
