-
Step 1:
-
Keep constant grip pressure
-
Concentrate on maintaining the same grip pressure throughout your backswing, downswing and follow through.
-
To reproduce the smooth feeling and action of your practise swing.
-
Step 2:
-
Breathe out as you swing
-
Set up, then take a deep breath and start blowing out air slowly through your mouth.
-
Listen to your breath, and continue exhaling at the same rate throughout your swing.
-
If you hit at the ball, you will interrupt your breath, as it is impossible to breathe at a constant rate if your muscles get tense.
-
Begin practicing with a pitch shot and then try a full swing.
-
Step 3:
-
Keep your mouth open
-
After you set up, open your mouth slightly, and keep it open throughout the swing.
-
If you hit at the ball, your facial muscles get tense and you will bite your teeth together.
-
Practice these tips and you will soon be swinging through for longer shots.
