During your swing, your mind should be blank. You want to let your sub-conscience execute what you have learned in hitting a golf ball and instinctively make your shot. If you need to, go over what you need to do to make a good shot before you start your shot. You could go over the various stages of your swing being complete your follow through, belt buckle and elbows facing the target after you swing, do not stand up at impact, hit through the ball and not at the ball, lag you swing and keep your head down.

If you have longer than average drives, you could use a compression rating of 100 or higher due to your faster swing speed. A higher compression ratio yields a greater density in the golf ball and the ball does not compress as much. A lower compression is easier to compress at impact which results in a greater energy release and longer shots down the fairway. The bottom line is, expert players can get away with higher compression golf balls and average players should use low compressions golf balls for more distance and better feel at impact.

The horizontal angle impact determines the direction your ball will travel, pull, push, straight, hook or slice. The vertical impact will determine the height and launch angle your ball will travel.

Swing tempo is the ratio between your backswing and your downswing time. The perfect tempo for a swing tempo is 3:1. This means it takes 3 times longer to do your backswing than it does you downswing. Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Fred Couples have all been recorded at a ration of 3:1.

Standing at a further distance from the ball will you allow you to swing the club around your body more. But if you stand too far away, you put too much weight on your toes which will cause you to lose balance on the downswing causing off center shots.
