The third crucial component to accuracy in your golf game is swing pace, which tends to vary from golfer to golfer. Just compare Nick Price and Lanny Wadkins to Ernie Els or Loren Roberts. A dramatic difference exists between them, yet each is an outstanding ball striker.
My take on this is that for most golfers, a smoother, slower swing lends itself to much more consistent and solid contact. A deliberate takeaway will actually encourage your hands to work into a more solid and cocked wrist position at the top of the swing. From there, the front hand pulling motion will allow you to maintain the cocked position throughout the downswing and release the club head at impact. Because the body follows the hands, the smoother pace better allows the body, hands and club to work together to create a smoother club head speed. Furthermore, a controlled swing facilitates better balance from start to finish and leads to more consistency.
Takeaway: Slow down your swing for better balance and a more accurate shot!

Imagine trying to get the sand in front and behind the ball the ball on the green. It is a great way to help visualize the feel and experience you need in your photo. Keep your knees bent and squat during filming. Do not make the mistake of trying to help the ball out of the bunker with his shoulders.
