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.

Learning to use the Large Muscles Athletically can be a little tough at first if you don’t immediately break movements that will send signals to your brain, that you are just doing your old golf swing. One of the biggest culprits is “Sliding” or allowing yourself to shift weight to the back leg (sliding must

Must Keep More Weight on the Front Foot to Unwind! – Golf Swing

The start of the downswing is an athletic unwinding from the ground up sequence. It is mandatory that there is more weight on the front leg to start this sequence. You can not start to unwind with more weight on the back foot. Traditional golf instruction has been sliding and loading up the back side

How to Draw the Golf Ball

Had this question this morning: Q – How do you make the ball draw from right to left as a right hand player? A – The way I teach this, is to start with the club out in front of you… arms extended with the shaft in line with the front arm. Now, for a
