Good rhythm equals more distance
When it comes to the golf swing, rhythm is often overlooked. Many players don’t fully understand what rhythm means or how it impacts their game. But the truth is, rhythm is one of the real keys to a consistent and effective swing. In this video, I’ll break down exactly what rhythm is and show you […]
Roll Over In Bed Drill
As you know, I teach golf using biomechanics. This is a great way to learn because it teaches you what each muscle will feel like. However, I have encountered some problems with many students. I teach in sequence: setup, the takeaway, the lift and turn (the rest of the backswing), transition, and forward swing to […]
10 golf muscles you need to strengthen
Golfers have been trying to gain more distance for as long as the sport has existed. One common method is hitting the gym and pumping iron. However, this approach might be counterproductive, potentially resulting in reduced distance if the wrong muscles are being exercised. The golf swing has evolved significantly over the past 20 years. […]
The Physics of Putting – How to get the perfect roll
I know that all of you have had a putt that you didn’t think would make it to the hole, but it kept rolling and eventually went in. When you observe good putters, their ball seems to keep rolling even when you thought they didn’t hit it hard enough. My good friend, Blair Philip, wanted […]
The Evolution of the Golf Swing
The golf swing has come a long way since its inception, and it continues to evolve. Over the years, tour players and instructors have tried new techniques and methods in an effort to improve their swings. While some of these changes have been beneficial, others have proven to be detrimental in the long run. As […]
Clubface Control – A Golfswing Secret
Did you watch the Masters? Did you think that most of the players had exquisite shot control? They didn’t, did they! Only a very few players were able to control their shots to put them high up on the leaderboard. Even the best players broke down from time to time. One key to playing good […]
Quit Pushing Off That Back Foot
One of the big advantages that I have while I’m doing full-time teaching is that I get to work with a lot of young people. Some of them are on the verge of making it onto the PGA tour while others are just beginning. The interesting thing is that I learn from both of them. […]
Quit flipping – how to get to and through impact
One of the most common problems my students have is flipping through impact. Flipping is a double whammy. First, you’re changing the loft of the club through impact, so you have inconsistent trajectory and distance control. The other problem is you also close the clubface inconsistently so the amount of draw or hook varies dramatically. […]
The Fast Track to a Perfect Backswing
A great backswing can take many hours on the practice tee to develop, but we all have a limited time available. We must focus on being effective (practicing correctly) and efficient (learning quickly using proper biomechanics, doing drills to that train our mind, and using training aids that can speed up the development of myelin […]
