The biggest mistake most golfers make is that they hold the golf club too loosely in their fingers and too firm in their arms. This may result into poor control of the club and the golfers have to use too many muscles in the swing.
Don't forget to hold the club firmly in your fingers, if you wish to play a good swing. Think a cup of coffee is on the table in front of you and you try to pick it up with loose grip of your fingers but your firm arms. Can you guess the consequence? Most likely, you will drop it. The same thing will happen in case of a golf club.
To know how to play a proper pull comes after you learn to hold your club properly. If you pull too swiftly or from your elbow or shoulder, there will be a lot of tension in your arm and upper part of your body. You should go for a smooth swing with a firm control of your fingers on the golf club. In this manner, you will attain a streamline motion and will set the ball to roll down to its destination. And then, you can also bounce off your club in a proper manner.
Mastering the skills of holding the club with firm fingers and moving the club smoothly enables you to play shots in artistic manners. When your finger grips will be firm, you will start playing golf as a professional.
There are different ways in which you can swing your golf club. The most prominent one is the modern swing, also called the lower body swing or total body swing. Most first time young golfers having a thin body have been seen playing this specific shot called "tail swings the dog". A young boy generally swings the club with his arms, but his body inertly twists a little in reaction to his arms' and club's movements across the front portion of his body. A young boy usually has a flexible and supple torso that easily moves about in space in reaction to the forces that come into play by the active movement of his arms and club.
On the other hand, most overweight men in their middle-age, due to their heavy, non-flexible central torso, play a swing called "dog swings the tail". A heavy-weight man can hardly twist his torso in reaction to his arms' movements across the front portion of his body and hence such type of swing is visible.
