How your whole golf swing can change from nothing more then sticking a rod into the ground. In this video we’ll demonstrate the use of alignment sticks as a simple training aid for takeaway and swing path improvement.
Hope these drills help with a better takeaway and downswing.
Putting Tips for Golfers
Have you ever watched a tour professional effortlessly sink a putt and wonder to yourself, “What do they know that I don’t?”
I can tell you that even the pros struggle with putting. No matter how effortless their putting looks to you, they are working to overcome many of the same challenges you are.
They don’t have a special secret or know an innovative technique. They simply know the best way to practice their putts. Even the best players constantly drill their putting skills just to establish better habits and greater consistency.
Today Mike will show you a couple putting tips that can help you play better on the green. These tips are valuable for golfers at every level.
If you’re struggling with your putting, then following these methods could help you turn your game around.
LEG ACTION IN THE GOLF SWING FOR MORE CONSISTENCY
Improving your lower body action can be one way to add consistency to your game and tighten up your shot dispersion.
Chris Ryan shows you a drill that can help you better understand your own leg action, and more importantly offers you feedback so that you can work towards a better lower body move in your swing.
Golfers of all skill levels are constantly scouring the internet for magical golf drills that provide simpler ways to achieve the ideal impact position and hit the ball clean every time they swing.
Self diagnosing a flawed golf swing definitely does not rank high on a golfer’s list of favorite things to do, nonetheless there are several elements in our swing that must work together correctly in order to achieve our desired end result in the impact position.
In search of a clean, straight, strong impact, Gankas has compiled this video containing his breakdown of the mechanics leading up to the impact position and how golfers must fully optimize each motion in their swing to achieve perfection.
Golfers will find that the angle their hips are rotated towards as it relates to their target has a huge influence over the success they achieve at impact.
Players that have a low handicap are almost always shown to rotate their hips open in regards to their desired target when connecting with the ball during impact.
PGA Tour Pros at the highest level of play are shown to open their hip turn as much as 30 degrees during impact, resulting in a very clean shot for the golfer. Opening the angle of our hips during impact has been shown to improve contact with the golf ball while adding measurable distance to the flight path of our shot.
Players that angle their hips toward their desired target at impact are also thought to improve contact with the golf ball while improving the aim of their overall shot.
Experienced golfers have found that increasing their shoulder tilt at impact drastically improves the results of their shot.
The same players will tell others that bending their shoulders backward at impact, away from their desired target, adds distance to the shot when done correctly.
Nearly every successful golfer that has achieved any level of acclaim in the sport will be shown to have their left wrist bowed and right wrist flexed (unless they are left handed, of course) during impact with the golf ball.
Known to veterans as clubhead lag, such wrist positioning at impact generates a huge amount of speed and strength in our overall swing.
Golfers who have poor luck with striking usually are miscalculating the timing of their lag, which collapses their left wrist at impact, leaving their hands far behind the ball as a result.
These miscalculations greatly diminish the force and accuracy of our shot, typically because golfers are hitting upward on the golf ball, resulting in their shot being scooped rather than struck properly.
The premature nature of the shot means irons are nearly impossible to be used correctly by golfers suffering from flawed timing in their wrist positioning.
Seeing and being able to make a fade shot can be difficult. Practice using your right hand to control the club face. Don’t just play golf. Understand
In today’s video Performance Golf will show you how to shallow the club, give you some key checkpoints, and a drill to use so you can start hitting the golf ball a lot longer and straighter next time you go play.
In terms of the downswing, when we’re talking about shallowing the club, let’s first define what that means. If I take my normal setup, and at address, I drew a line through my club, up through my body, that would make sort of a plane line. (Watch the video to see what I mean.)
When we’re giving golf lessons, oftentimes we’ll draw that line that produces a plane in space. The best golfers who hit the ball the farthest and straightest, that club head and club would work up that plane line, pretty much on it or parallel to it, and would start to work right back down on that plane line.
If you could imagine a perfect plane or a perfect circle around my body, they wouldn’t deviate much from that line, both back or down.
Now, that’s perfect in utopia for them, but for us, sometimes we go off that line a little bit. The more common error off that line would be during the downswing, above the line, or you’d be over that line or over the top, and that’s killer, both for direction and, mostly, for distance. Watch the video to see my recommendations so you can start hitting longer and straighter drives.
This video will give you a couple tips to help you hit your irons pure and straight.
These drills will also help if you flip the club or dip down during your golf swing.
The greatest drill ever to eliminate coming over the top. We talk about the root problem, and give you a swing analysis with Sean O’Hair, and Alvaro Quiros.
