Golf is a popular pastime for many, but for left-handed golfers, it can be an even bigger challenge! While most golf clubs are designed and created for right-handed players, there are some special golf clubs made specifically for left-handed golfers.
Golf club makers have long understood that as left-hand golfers make up only about 10% of golfers while right-handed golfers make up 90%, they are not always properly catered to with appropriate equipment.
As a result, this means that playing golf for the southpaw isn’t always easy or comfortable when having to use a standard right-handed golf club. This can often lead to a less-than-successful golf grip and swing.
When a left-hand golfer chooses to play with a right-handed golf club, the golf club must either be flipped over in order to fit their golf grip or they must adapt their golf swing style which isn’t ideal and can cause problems down the line when they play golf.
The golf club should fit into the natural angle of your grip and wrists, so it’s best practice to invest in a proper left-hand golf club set when first playing golf as a lefty.
A Left-handed golfer (as opposed to a right-handed golfer) also needs to pay particular attention to their stance when practicing on the driving range or out on the course.
Many left-handed golfers force themselves into an incorrect stance due to wanting to mimic what they see from watching other successful golf players - however even if you manage to imitate them correctly, it won't necessarily work as you're not accounting for your own body type and differences in golf club stroke depending on whether you are a right-handed golfer or left handed golfer!
The same goes for younger players who may feel pressure from older family members or peers that could affect their personal game plan - so make sure you adjust to a proper golf stance according to what is comfortable for your individual needs while taking into consideration all important tips about keeping your shoulders parallel with the target line and forming a triangle shape between arms and chest when starting.
A left-handed player can become great at playing golf just like right-handed golfers when equipped with appropriate golf clubs and given adequate guidance on proper technique related to posture during play.
It's important not just during play but also while practicing on the driving range; they must optimize their respective bodies' ability by using proper techniques such as gripping each club firmly without being overly tense (it helps if palms are slightly damp) whilst consciously focusing on transferring weight onto one side of your body as you swing (for example if you're naturally inclined more towards the left side then ensure weight shifts over there!).
Additionally, it helps if one keeps his/her head steady throughout so as not to create a further imbalance with the movement of eyes back and forth between ball/clubface throughout motion which could potentially provide inconsistent results at result! Ultimately these small yet effective adjustments will aid any left-handed player in becoming a successful player both novice & pro alike!
