driver golf club

It is important to know when you are going downswing, especially if you're left-handed golf. You will have a smaller swing if you are right-handed. Left-handed golfers have a larger swing which results in closer contact between the ball and the clubface. Here are some tips and tricks to help you avoid hitting pulled shots.

Right-handed golfers have a more compact swing

Right-handed golfers have a less compact swing than left-handed. Keep your arms and upper body close together to help make your swing smaller. This will reduce excess movement during your swing. For example, if you keep your shoulders close to your body during your backswing, you will be able to hit the ball with a higher ball speed.

Grip is another major difference between right and left-handed golfers. The grip on a right-handed golfer's club is similar to that of a baseball bat, so it's important to relax your grip as you swing. This will ensure that your club head is properly aligned during impact.

Swinging left causes the clubface to close

Sometimes, closing the clubface during a round of golf is not advisable. If the other conditions are perfect, closed clubfaces might be a good idea. Closed clubs faces may occur due to poor grip, straightening or excessive stop of rotation, and poor grip. If your clubface becomes closed during your swing you will need to make compensatory adjustments.


Depending on the type shot, a closed clubface could cause the ball's impact to be left. This means your shot will begin left of the target. Closed clubfaces can produce a slight fade all day. This can make for a powerful swing pattern that can result in consistent ball flight.

How to get the timing right for the downswing

It is important to get the timing right when swinging your golf clubs to the left. You might hit a shot that's not intended to be left or right of the target if your swing is too fast or slow. For the best shots, timing is key.

You're not just pulling, but you're also rotating your hips. Your clubface should be straight at impact. If you're pulling only, you'll leave your clubface wide open and flare to one side. During your downswing you should also turn your left arm toward the target.
