A common mistake among most golfers is taking the eyes off the ball to look ahead after taking a swing. Focusing on the ball will help the golfer make the right contact with the ball and generate a more powerful shot. Also, less movement of the head will help in a more accurate shot. Holding the golf club too firmly would negatively impact the club's flow when bringing it down to hit the ball and may result in a slice. If the grip is loose, the club could fling out of hand. Practicing more would help master the correct amount of pressure to apply when holding the club and improve your shot. It is essential to always be in the correct posture because the swing is often affected by the stance the golfer assumes. The standard posture requires slightly bending the knees, with the body's weight towards the balls of the feet. When taking a tee shot with a driver, the legs should be spread as wide as the shoulders. When using other clubs, the legs should be wider.
