Trapping Impact
This video shows with my method, how the body rotation, not the hands, traps the ball. At impact, everything is moving the ball, not just the club head. The ball is being moved by the turn.

Elbows – Big Key to Consistency in the Golf Swing
The elbows in the golf swing are critical. You must keep them working towards each other during the entire swing. If you allow the elbows to come apart, many different problems can arise. One common problem when the elbows separate on the backswing, is having your back elbow trapped behind your hip rotation on the …
Shaft Leads the Club Face, When the Body Rotation Leads the Golf Swing
A solid golf shot will only happen when the shaft leads the club face. If the shaft is behind the club face, the shot will be thin, skulled or topped. Once you learn how to turn through impact, your body will be leading the golf swing and it will be much easier to hit a …
Golf is Easy, Right? – Line & Distance
Okay, you don’t agree yet, but it can be. Playing golf is really just like “Connect the Dots.” You go from here to there, to over there, putt it in the hole and you’re done. “Give me a 3” Let’s say your game is not like that yet. Well, then what happens with your game? …
Body Rotation Pulls Flat Front Wrist
Most miss hits are caused by a “bent in” or “flipped” front wrist at impact! A solid golf shot at impact, will have the front wrist flat or even bowed out a little and the back wrist is bent in. This wrist alignment keeps the shaft in line with the front arm and maintains a …
Constant Grip Pressure – Big Key!
Sounds easy… it is for some and it’s not for others. My method focuses on using the Large Muscles to control your golf swing. For the Large Muscles to take control, there has to be no disruption from the hands taking over during the swing. Once learned, the results are awesome. The more control you …
Forget Ball Position, It’s Body Position to the Ball
You must understand this first: An Athletic, unwinding downswing, is just like throwing a ball. It is continuous, uninterrupted and nothing happens half way through. It unwinds around a Dynamic Axis, that is just about where your front hip is. This is where the downswing rotation pivots. It is important that you understand what was …
Keeping Your Hands Out Of Your Golf Swing
Muscle memory takes many repetitions to over come (daily for weeks, months). Your subconscious mind (where your current golf swing resides), does not want to let go of old habits until convinced that the new is better… this takes time (you can not fool yourself). It also takes many positive experiences before trust sets in. …
Large Muscle Drill vs Swing (Flipping)
Many students at first have problems keeping their hands from taking over somewhere during the swing. Usually this is just before impact. I have a drill that works the large muscles, keeping the hands passive, that I have my students work on. Here is an analysis/comparison of the Large Muscle Drill vs. the Actual Golf …
The Ball Just Gets in the Way As You Turn
This concept gives the feeling of a “continuous” movement through impact! This is what we want. Nothing happens at the ball. The ball just gets picked up as the body turns. This is where the hands want to take over and do something. Impact is quiet. Impact is Continuous. Impact is not a spot you …
