All professional golfers will tell you that correct technique is the key to hitting the golf ball pure. In fact, it is actually the most critical aspect to becoming a low handicapper. While there are many impressive training devices out there, golf swing analyzers offer the most scientific approach to help golfers improve their technique, their swing and ultimately their game.
Nearly every golf swing on the pro tour is unique, but there is one part of every swing that is very similar; the position of the club face at impact. A pro's reliable technique allows them to square up the club face through the hitting zone with a descending blow to the back of the ball. While their swing path may vary depending on their intended trajectory, pros consistently swing down the target line through the hitting area.
So why does the average golfer's technique leave them frustrated and always searching for their ball? For most golfers, the reason lies in that they don't understand what is happening with their club head through impact. The fact is, even with the best eyesight, this part of the swing is impossible to see with the naked eye. This is where technology can come to the rescue.
A golf swing analyzer can track the club head path and face angle. It also tracks the club head speed, impact spot on the club face, ball speed, spin, launch angle and shot direction. A quick snapshot of this brief moment in time allows you to diagnose many of your swing's problems and make micro adjustments to you golf swing technique, until you are striking the ball cleanly.
After some intelligent practicing with this technology, you will learn the secrets to solid contact. The mystery of your slices, hooks, miss-hits or shanks will be solved. By viewing what occurs in a split-second, from your downswing through impact, you can perfect your technique and unlock your true ball-striking potential.
Developing sound golf technique normally takes many years of practice and patience. While a golf swing analyzer may not provide instantaneous results for most players, it can dramatically accelerate the process. With its guidance, you will be able to ingrain the correct muscle memory and hard wire your technique after only several practice sessions.
Golf swing analyzers are also quite versatile. Many of them have even have the ability to be upgraded into full-featured golf simulators. As you can imagine, practice becomes a lot more fun when you can play 18 holes of virtual golf on some of the world's most famous courses. Another versatile aspect is portability. Many swing analyzers are portable, allowing you to practice your technique in your garage or at the driving range.
It is an exciting time to be an aspiring golfer with all the great technology available. From the various innovative swing analyzers to golf simulators, we can all feel like a pro, even if we are not playing like one... yet.
