Long Game Training (companion booklet series)

Long Game Training (companion booklet series)

This More Pars Training is a focus on your long game from the fairway. Our goal from the fairway is solid and long so we can get on the green in regulation.

3 FOCUS AREAS
1. Direction - Accuracy
2. Distance - Compression - angle of attack/ impact point
3. Tempo & Timing for Energy

IMPORTANT TIP: Please also explore 5 Weeks to AWESOME Ball Striking: https://www.morepars.tv/5-weeks-to-awesome-ball-striking

Misdiagnosing swing woes can send you to the wrong fairway. Instead, let’s truly educate you on the essentials of ball striking so you can see real change in your game. You’ll measure your current technique and process, so you have an accurate starting point. From there, you’ll apply your new knowledge of skills with training. I highly recommend working with a coach during this training or training with Christina through her PGA Coach Program: https://www.morepars.com/online-coaching/

Are you ready for GIRs? Let’s get to it!

    The Butt Move is hip flexion. I do not like using the term hips because then players oftentimes just spin their hips which is the very last thing you want to do. Instead we need to engage the butt muscles. This drill using Martin’s awesome Toolbox helps get you there.
