When it comes to golfing, there are just about as many types of swings as there are golfers with almost every golfer having their own and unique stature about the perfect swing and while some are great, others are left for the weekend enthusiast and hopes that no one is standing on the next green over. The first move down swing needs to be flawless, and it is this part of the swing that is almost the same for any golfer.  

  

In dealing with the mechanics of the golf swing, there are a number of important stages which include the address, backswing, transition, downswing, contact and follow through. The first move down golf swing needs to be perfect basically before the downswing is even started as it is the downswing in which the golfer develops the necessary torque that when contact with the ball is made, send it soaring to the green. 

  

The movements associated with a golf swing need to be fluid and not look like a robot is performing them. As each stage of the swing unfolds, the mind is doing millions of tiny calculations and aligning the club to the hole, not the ball. In the swing itself, hitting the ball should just be a course of the action and not the goal of the swing. Anyone swinging a golf club should be swinging it in such a way that it is perfectly aligned with the hole and the actual contact occurs simply because the ball is there. 

  

From the transition stage to the follow through, the entire thing should be one fluid movement and should be made as if the ball is not there at all. When too much focus is placed on the contact with the ball, it is in this that causes golfers to hold the grip too tightly which results I a slice. The first move down golf swing should focus on this fluid movement with just the golfer and the club. There should be no need for an actual ball during the practice of swinging as hitting the ball is just an act of coincidence since it will be sitting on the tee when you swing the club. Remember, that the first move down swing is about a fluid movement and the torque created when the swing starts and the weight of the body is shifted from one side to another and should continue on through the deceleration of the swing or follow through.
