Golf Simulators – Getting Started
The evolution of technology in golf in undeniable. It’s ubiquitous. Besides the improvement of golf clubs and balls, the emergence of the golf simulator is an amazing and welcome addition to helping one improve their swing. It provides approximately 16 data feedback numbers for you to assess the quality of your swing. If you have never experienced one, I highly recommend you do so. It’s a valuable tool. The data that presents itself after you have made a swing should confirm the pattern results you receive when you play golf.
If you have distance problems, hook problems, slice problems, or other issues, the data should confirm this. So how does one take this data and use it to make the right changes to improve their swing or ball striking. The answer for now, it still depends on a knowledgable golfer or professional to analyze the data and use their experience to advise what are the best swing changes to make for improvement. Understanding the simulator data/feedback is a learning curve by itself. Once you gain knowledge in this regard, only then can you start to think about the best ways to apply corrective measures to your swing to improve. What’s of the utmost importance at this point is the corrective changes you decide to take. They must be rooted in the traditional fundamentals of the golf swing starting with a proper grip and stance. I see so many unfortunate swing problems in golfers that developed in the beginning because of an improper grip and clubface relationship.
In addition to the golf simulator, I highly recommend the use of high def video to analyze your swing as well. It’s just as important to see your swing when making changes as it is analyzing data.
So with everything said, I will try to guide you through the challenging task of analyzing video and simulator data for you to make proper corrective swing changes that should demonstrate marked improvements. I will not only advise you but also suggest you follow other top instructors I recommend on YouTube. I do follow quite a few myself and try to stay up to speed. Most all a saying the same things but perhaps in different ways.
