A good golf tip to help with your swing is to coordinate the movements of your body with your swing. Novice golfers think the power comes from the arms, but only using the arms can make weak and awkward swings. A much better way to get that coveted swing distance is to move your whole body as the club moves.
A common technique among professional golfers, though it sounds very whimsical, is the toe-wiggling exercise. If it’s hard to wiggle the toes at the beginning of the swing, the golfer is leaning in to the ball too far. Ideally, your stance should allow for just enough backward lean to allow for movement in the feet.
When you get ready to swing, check your posture by wiggling your toes. If your feet are easy to move, you’re leaning too far from the ball. You should be able to lean toward the ball, with your feet able to move just a small amount. If your feet move too much, you are not doing it correctly.
