TIP OF THE WEEKS
  • How to Stop Smothering the Ball!

    If you want more pars but you’re topping and chunking the heck out of it, let’s examine a popular smother culprit.

  • Uh-Oh! The Missing Wrist Hinge

    If you’re struggling to get any distance or your ball striking seems anemic, let’s make sure that you are actually hinging the club. Many players - especially newer to the game—do not have trail hand wrist hinge. This makes the downswing too much work.

  • STOP! You're Overdoing Your Backswing

    If you want more pars, let's make sure that you are not over doing your backswing and/or adding too much horizontal hinge. Both of which create big hooks, pulls or topped, chunked shots.

  • Speed at the Right Spot

    Where is the max speed of your golf swing? Many players’ max speed is expended during the transition. Instead, the max speed should be just after the ball. This is key to understand and then train it.

  • Popular Takeaway Mistake

    Low & Rotate (not high & lift) If you want more pars but struggle with topped, fat, slices and pulled golf shots then let’s check your hands through the swing. Are they lifting too soon? I share a great drill to help cure this situation.

  • Triggers to Delay The Strike

    Many players get anxious and quicken their transition / downswing. Instead, let’s occupy your mind so you can make a good swing with occupying triggers to help sequence your downswing.

  • ZIP UP to Control Distance

    If you want more pars, let's improve your shots between 40-100 yards. Many players get real armsy and disconnected with the shots which makes it a real challenge to create any spin and control trajectory.

  • Swing Out Through the Yellow Strike Zone

    If you want more pars, swing out to the right. To (greatly) improve your ball striking (tee and fairway) you must swing out to the right as your body rotates left. I share a great way to practice this at the range and on the course with great visuals.

  • Keep the Baby in the Crib on the green
