However, it can be difficult to correct mistakes if you don\u2019t know how or what to look for. That\u2019s where a golf coach comes in. A golf coach can do a full swing analysis, find where your strengths are, and identify any weaknesses that are holding you back. Today in the GGGA blog, we\u2019ll walk about what a golf coach looks for in a swing analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alignment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to be squared up to your target, or it won\u2019t matter how good the rest of your mechanics are. Your golf coach will make sure your feet, shoulders, and hips are all lined up with the target correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grip<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes the problem lies in the way a club is gripped. If a club is gripped too hard or the grip is too weak, it can have detrimental effects on your swing. Also, sometimes you need to choke up on the club more to gain control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Posture<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your golf coach will check to make sure you have proper posture. They\u2019ll look to see if your knees are bent properly, your back is straight, and that everything is in the right place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backswing and Downswing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your backswing and downswing are going to be the most important aspects of your swing, and they are what you\u2019ll probably spend the most time adjusting. For your backswing, you\u2019ll need to pay attention to several factors. Namely, your tempo, the path your backswing takes, where you place the top of your swing, and how long you hold it. Your golf coach will be able to break down each of these areas and tell you where you can improve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your downswing depends on your backswing, so it\u2019s important to get that down first. Your coach will mainly be watching the path your downswing takes when evaluating it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Follow Through<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of your swing, your golf coach will evaluate your follow through and how well you hold your finish. This is the final area that your coach will analyze.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn with GGGA<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your junior golfer wants to reach their potential, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gilchristgolf.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help.
