Tips on Choosing the Right Golf Club to Improve Your Golf Swing

Video Transcript

Hello I am Arthur DeBolt on behalf of Expert Village. There are many questions as far as what club to use for what purposes. I am going to give an illustration that it does not really matter, because your swing remains the same, does not matter which club to use. So, in this particular case I am going to use a full swing. Why? Because say 150 yards through the green and I am going to may be go around this little trees, so I may want to have it fade around the tree or I may want to go over the tree. But at 150 yards, I have a lot of choices, so what I am going to do is I am going to hit this ball and I am going to have it fade a little bit left to right around that tree, so that works fine. With this next start, I am going to say I am only about 10 yards off the green now. That means that I can put the “ball” on to the green and let it roll, it is about six feet to the whole flag. So, I am going to do exactly the same thing as I did with the 150 yard shot, except that I am not going to be as much, see I am not using as much back swing, see. If I used all this back swing, and I came down to this point, see where I am? Now watch what happens when I just use my hand; I chip it on to the green and it rolls to the flag. If you’ll notice, I am now addressing the ball with the putter. The index line is in front of the putter. Now I can move the index line according to my left heel as close to that ball as I can, but as far as moving the ball, well that’s a penalty stroke . What I want to do is that, when I hit the club behind the ball, and I want you to notice my left arm is solid against my body and the putter is hitting pretty square to where I want it to go. I am going to keep my left arm exactly there, and then I am going to use exactly the same thought that I had before, which is contact point position for the ball. Watch my right elbow here coming around, and it pushes the ball through. That’s a putting stroke. That is always predictable in any situation, what you do not want to use is the pendulum perspective, because there is too much room for error.
