no, your club can't be grounded or touch ground when you are in a hazard.
I forget where this is said in the rules but it is there.
Turn your hips, coil the body, swing harder.
The simplest thing to do is increase your club head speed. Traditionally, this is done by practicing with weighted clubs. You can practice with weighted clubs (or for a cheaper alternative, try using a club heavier than your normal or two together) before you take your real swing.
Just focus on keeping your head down, don't worry about the result of the shot, once you've managed to keep your head down then start worrying about the result. If you are really having trouble, then ask a friend to hold your head whilst you swing, then you can get the sensation of how it should feel.______________AlternateThere is nothing physical or neurological that is making your head move. It is a bad habit. Do practice swings, dozens of them, very slowly, keeping the head down. Gradually pick up the speed of the swing doing a few dozen after each increase in speed. After you've gotten the speed up, go to a driving range. Think of it this way. The swing isn't finished until you've followed through. Lifting your head becomes part of the swing. Just practice not doing it.
its the amount of elasticity in in the club head shaft at the peak of your backswing. the more you have the better timing you have and the more power you will will get.
Get your mate to use a stop watch at the beginning and end of your swing. Then calculate the speed.
Different shafts are made for different people. It is important that you get one that is made for your swing. Your swing speed determines your shaft. The faster you swing, the stiffer shaft you need. There are also things like torque which is the shafts ability to resist twisting. The faster you swing, the more torque you are going to have. For more detail on this go to the link below.
swing above head to make wind blow through it so it makes a siren sound!
I have encountered this problem. I recommend making sure your head is down, tee up the ball a little higher for practice, and making sure to keep tour front arm straight.
It is when you use one of your hands to serve swing your hand over your head.
Assuming the broken club is a driver, the area on the shaft just above the hosel impacts at a teed up ball rather than the club face. The stationary weight of a golf ball is sufficient to strain the tensile strength of a graphite shaft. With a club head attached at the very end of the club, it further increases the momentum of a downswing. This is mostly caused by addressing the ball too close to the body and an incorrect swing plane going back. For an iron, a breakage could be mainly caused by hitting the toe of the club into a relatively hard surface in the down swing. This usually happens to a graphite shafted game improvement iron. The reason being that game improvement irons have larger and wider club face area, in which when it is swung at a particular speed with only its toe part hitting the surface, the tensile strength of the shaft at the hosel is at its most vulnerable. This is mostly caused by the use of a non-custom fitted iron where certain compensations (maybe due to shaft length and body height not ideal) in a swing occur. Also may be caused by incorrect swing plane.
Well it can be, but only slightly, you wouldn't be able to make a stiff into a regular etc. If you shortened a club, the shaft would become stiffer, and if you lengthened a club the shaft would become more regular, but you only make a 1-2 inch change to the shaft. What it does do however is change the swing weight. A lengthened shaft make the head lighter, and a shortened shaft makes the head heavier. All pro players like to have the swing weight the same for all their clubs. Apparently Tiger Woods can tell the swing weight just by swinging the club.
The last 12 inch's before impact to the ball is where maximum acceleration of the club head will be seen, remember a slow tempo up until this point will keep your swing on plane. It should almost feel like slow motion up until this point.
