HOW TO STOP DUFFING YOUR CHIP SHOTS – AMAZING EASY CHIPPING TECHNIQUE
I am talking about an amazingly simple chipping technique that will transform your chipping without you even knowing! just by creating a great understanding of how the club interacts with ground.
How your hands and wrists operate in your downswing is very important.
Let’s just pretend that everyone sets the club well to the top of the swing. After the club is set, it must start down. I like to call that move the transition into the downswing.
Their are a few important things that must happen when you start your transition. These basic downswing drills will help you understand how the club moves at the bottom.
Many golfers struggle with an early extension in their golf swing and this can be caused by a number of factors earlier on in their golf swings.
Here are some simple ideas and drills that can help you move your body better through the golf swing and eliminate the early extension in your game
Learn the move Tiger Woods is working on to help lead his trail hip and help maintain posture on the downswing.
How to get more speed in your golf swing Increase golf swing speed drill.
How can an alignment stick give you more speed and power, a very simple drill to train your brain and that sensation using an old double prediction of how fast you’re swinging the club using this can give you more speed.
Let’s show you how all you need is an alignment stick. And the reason why I’m showing you this is because I want you to hear, maybe your hearing isn’t as sharp as a you’d like it to be, but you should be able to hear this because I want you to test something out.
Now, if you don’t have an alignment stick, just turn your a driver upside down and hold it by near the head at the top of the shaft.
When you don’t hit t the golf ball and swing through instead, and swing is more towards the target swing out that way to give you more speed, the fastest area that you want to hear and feel is in this zone actually after the ball. Because when you generate the momentum, you should be able to hear that audible difference.
Now swing and feel like releasing So whether that’s the objective or you simply try and make the sound occur after the ball, you’ll be astounded at how much more speed you get through the ball.
It’s very simple golf swing speed training. I want you to build up the speed so you’re accelerating and feeding that power. Because what’s going to happen is you’re still gonna get that natural sequence where you’re not doing a casting action in your golf swing
That’s what people tend to do. And I wager there’s a good chance many of you are one of them.
Allow the body to turn back and swing through that way with freedom, without force.
Use the alignment stick. Listen for the speed. Listen for the whoosh, and you should be good to go and get a few more miles an hour swing speed without really trying.

I would assume that if you play golf, you have gotten the idea of how to swing a stick at a ball and hit it. I don’t take that statement lightly. It’s not an intuitive act, and you have to learn how to do it. Turning that into a golf swing is the next step.
Everyone has a different golf swing. That’s because everyone has a different body structure, different strength, different flexibility, different personal history of movement. You can go the beauty parlor and get a hairstyle just like your favorite movie star, but you can’t go the the range and have the pro give you a swing like your favorite golfer. There’s a swing based on who you are, and if you find it, you’ll play good golf.
Get a hand towel. Wad it up in a ball and hold it in front of yourself with both hands. Stand like you’re about to hit a golf ball. Calm your mind and let go of any thoughts about hitting golf balls. Bring your arms back and “swing through,” letting go of the towel as you pass the bottom of your swing, as if you were tossing the towel to a friend standing a few feet away from you. In effect, throw the towel using a golf swing.
It will help to turn your head and look where you’re going to throw the towel as you actually let it go. By throwing the towel, you’re finding out how your body wants to move when you make the turning and directing motion that the golf swing is. After a while, you should be settling into a movement that feels natural and effortless, and your own. It will also have nothing to do with golf, and that’s good.
At that point, get out an 8-iron and begin again. Calm your mind and let go of any thoughts about hitting golf balls. Now swing the 8-iron in the same way you threw the towel. Just don’t throw the 8-iron, unless you’re (a) outside, (b) won’t hit anything that shouldn’t be hit, and (c) don’t mind walking after it every time.
IMPORTANT! Swing it the same way you threw the towel. DO NOT think to yourself that since you now have a golf club in your hand you have to go back to your idea of what a GOLF SWING is supposed to be. That’s what this exercise is trying to get you off of.
Just swing the club, no ball, like your threw the towel. For the fun of it. Because it feels nice. For any reason that you can think of besides that it’s for hitting a golf ball. Just swing the club.
The next step is to hit a golf ball with this swing. This will be fairly easy to do, much easier than it has been to make your practice swing your real swing. That’s because in the old days, when your mind switched from your practice swing to your real swing, you would start to think about a bunch of technical stuff that didn’t fit and never would fit in with the way you move.
Therefore you had no subconscious trust in what you had learned. And the reason you didn’t trust what you had learned is that it was someone else’s idea of what they needed to do. Had nothing to do with what you need to do. Nothing at all.
With this new towel-throwing swing, since it’s natural for you, you can trust what you’re doing regardless of whether there’s a ball there or not. That is the key to playing good golf– trusting what you are about to do, having confidence in it.
Now this won’t take an afternoon’s work and you’re set for life. It takes lots of repetitions to replace an old habit with a new one. But if you make on swing change this year, make it this one. Just work on this, and you’ll get the results you’ve been looking for all along.

Are you a reverse pivoter? Do you sway and slide in your golf swing?
Reasons for reverse pivoting could any physical limitations such as:
lack rotational flexibility
Lack muscular strength in thighs, glutes & core
Or reverse pivot could simply be a result of lack knowledge in the correct rotational movement. Also sometimes, a golfer may know how to rotate but the body hasn’t been able to perform the movements properly.
Improving physical part of the game is more of a long term goal.
In this video for stop swaying and sliding we’ll look at how swaying and sliding can hurt the golf swing.
