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

Pull The Handle With Your Body Turn

Using the hands to hit at the golf ball causes many problems. Learning to allow the Large Muscles to take control of your golf swing, fixes many of these problems. So how can we stop flipping and using our hands? I have learned through my own swing and teaching, that the more you can keep

The Front Shoulder – Where It All Starts

For a Large Muscles controlled golf swing, you start by using the Front Shoulder to push the arms and club to the top of the backswing. Your shoulders wind up around your spine and because of a slight tilt at setup, this wind up pushes your arms and club up to the top of your

The Thinking is Done – Just Practice

My instruction has many little nuances that make HUGE differences. These are mostly setup. I push routine, routine, routine to my students and the reason is the routine is the vehicle for lasting change. If you do something enough, it becomes muscle memory, but if you rethink or relearn something every time, it is brand
