In today’s video Craig Gould Head PGA Professional at Haydock Park Golf Club provides us with a simple and effective golf tip to help with setting up with the perfect posture drill to hit consistent shots time and again.
Controlling the pelvis will help us eliminate early extension in the golf swing.
I have a couple of alignment rods crossed that when I get into a setup are going to provide me feedback against my lower body as to whether or not I’m recreating the forward flex in my pelvis that I started with at setup.
This should eliminate early extension and lead to more consistent ball striking and delivering the club with better characteristics through impact.
If you want more pars, but tend to jump outta bed on the downswing, then join Nick and Christina as they discuss how to load the shaft on the downswing (lay it down / shallow it).
Players go off by steepening the shaft, where it gets too vertical during the downswing, which creates the weak-rights, pulls and slices.
GOLFTEC’s Director of Teaching Quality, Patrick Nuber, shows a drill to help with better lower body movement at impact.
Keeping the trail foot on the ground longer in the downswing, and trail leg straightened more while toward the target, will increase power and consistent contact!
The golf swing can be a complicated endeavor when you try too hard to make the perfect golf swing. But this simple golf lesson with Alex Fortey from the Art of Simple Golf aims to rid you of that confusion.
Can golf be as simple as a 2 inch golf swing? On the course it’s important to keep your swing thoughts simple, and this tip does that.
I’m not thinking about too much else, apart from moving one of my shoulders about 2-3 inches. Now, the left shoulder is something I generally prefer, because I’m just pulling my left shoulder 2 inches back this way. And look, there’s a golf swing. It’s really as simple as that. Just by thinking about that, the rest follows.
You might prefer the right shoulder. If so, try with the right arm only. Just move the right shoulder 2-3 inches. That’s the only thought you’re having. And look, you’ve got a golf swing. The rest should take care of itself.
The left arm adduction against the body is part of a secondary coil move which is a key component to power and consistency, the left arm move helps create the lag we see in the golf shaft.
This is what all the best ball strikers in the world do.
