For the golf lovers, there is no way that you don't hear of Tiger Woods, who is an American professional golfer whose achievements to date rank him among the most successful golfers of all time. Formerly the World No. 1 and he is the highest-paid professional athlete in the world. In other words, Tiger Woods is on the top of golf world, and his golf swing skills also on the top of the golf world. How luckily we are that we can learn some Tiger's golf swill skills in the following paragraphs.

Tiger's repeatable swing is amazing that has been highly praised by many golfers, well, the secret to producing a repeatable swing with your irons is keeping the clubface square to the swing path. The following tips will help you to create a repeatable swing just as Tiger does.

Staying connected during the swing is important to low the golf handicaps. In other words, good players feature a one-piece take away from the ball, which I often stress in my golf tips and golf lessons. Staying connected means that everything--your club hands, arms, and shoulders--moves away from the ball in unison as you start your backswing, ensuring that the club head travels on a wide arc away from the ball.

A repeatable swing sets the club on the correct plane can hinge or cock your wrists as you move into the backswing. As your arms continue to swing upward and your body to turn, the wrists point the club head skyward while your left shoulder replaces the right shoulder at address. The angle of the shaft to the ball stays the same and the club head remains square to the swing's path.

As the top of the backswing, your club moves into "the slot" position, where the club's shaft is horizontal to the ground and parallel to the target line. Also, the clubface's angle matches your arm angle. Known as square or neutral, this is the ideal position to aim for at the top of the backswing. In addition, your original spine angle and your head position remain the same as at address. Your shoulders are turned 90 degrees, while your hips are turned 45 degrees. Most of your weight is over the right foot and you feel resistance in your right knee and right thigh. Settle your weight smoothly back on your left side and start to unwind the upper body, as you move into the downswing. Also, drop your right elbow for right hands down to your side. This flattens the swing slightly. As you shift your weight to the left side, your right heel comes off the ground slightly. Try retaining the 90 degree angle between your left wrist and the club's shaft as long as possible. Your hands lead the club into the ball at impact.

It's a common belief that your shoulders should return to a square position at impact. I always address this point when giving golf lessons. In fact, your shoulders should occupy a slightly open position at impact, ensuring that the club has the room needed to travel on the correct path through the ball. In short, your body has to "get out of the way" for consistent ball striking with your irons. Finish with a balanced follow-through.

It's also important to striking the ball cleanly and crisply when you are trying to create a repeatable swing. You can start by assuming the ideal impact position at address with one of your irons. Start by shifting your weight onto the left side for right-handers and lift the right heel off the ground a fraction. The hips and shoulders are slightly open with the head over the ball, creating the feeling of a good impact position. Now, move into the back swing, shifting your weight to the right side. Return your weight to the left side, swinging the club down and through at impact. Move through the swing to a balanced position, with your weight on your front foot. Practice this drill again and again until you feel yourself swinging the club the same way.

Tiger hits his irons straighter and more accurately than most pros. By swinging the club exactly the same way, he's able to repeat his golf swing again and again and again. The more he repeats his swing, the more often he generates predictable results. For Tiger, predictable results mean more tou
ament wins and higher earnings. For the rest of us, it means better scores and lower golf handicaps. Creating that repeatable swing produces accuracy, consistency, and a lower golf handicap. Yours may not look like Tiger's but it can produce more consistent and better results.
