Hands First – PGA Professional Robin Symes demonstrates a simple drill to provide the feeling of keeping your hands in front of the club head at impact.
It will help a lower ball flight, more solid impact, fixing early release and scooping.
Complete the Hands First at Impact drill a few times and then return to your normal address. Too many might cause you to keep the clubface open at impact.
Knowing how to start the takeaway is such an important aspect of the golf swing because this motion sets you up for the rest of the swing.
If you know how to start the takeaway then you give yourself the best opportunity to make a solid backswing and keep the overall swing as simple as possible. A simple backswing makes the downswing easier to repeat which will produce more consistent golf shots.
Chin and Shoulder Separation in the Golf Swing Transition:
What I want to talk about today is separation and specifically, separation between the chin and the shoulder in the golf swing transition or when I’m starting forward.
What happens too often is when people try to pull down with their shoulders and don’t get the lower body to shift correctly, the chin and the shoulder kind of pull together which creates this over-the-top move. The main reason for this is most people’s power source comes from their shoulders, comes from their chest, from the top of the swing, they’re using their arms and shoulders to create that speed.
In today’s video I’ll show you a golf swing transition drill where your chin and shoulder separate as your club drops into the slot to start the downswing.
Golf Swing Lag with a wider swing arc:
As we take a look at the swing arc and hand path of an elite players golf swing. You can see the shape of this determines how much energy you can transfer into the golf ball and how much “Golf Swing Lag” you can create and release.
Stop 3 Putting Forever
This video is all about how to stop 3 putting forever with Golf Monthly top 2 Coach Alistair Davies
This is not about so much putting technique it’s more about a solid routine and reading the green.
We want you to have some simple tasks that are easy to repeat and easy to add to your routine on the green and hopefully remove the dreading and often times upsetting three putt that ruins scores.
Most golfers just go to the ball, head down and have 3 strokes and putt. Sometimes they will look from behind the hole, but this is limiting and rarely gives the accurate results.
1st Process To Better Putting. Walk along the low side of the putt
Survey the distance from a perception point of view, is it up hill or downhill from down the line but also on the side of the put gives you a good measure too.
2nd Process To Better Putting. Where Does the water run?
Look at the hole to think if the cup was overflowing with water, where would the water run off to? In the example in the video, it’s confirming what my first feel and vision provide was that it’s uphill and left to right.
These are perception tricks
3rd Process To Better Putting. Practice Feel Make Stroke Looking at The Hole
Go Face on looking at the hole. Imagine rolling a ball with your hands.
Technically you want a sound stroke but thinking about this on the green on the course is not the place. But to try and hit a straight putt and roll it along the line you have chosen.
The key here is to choose an intermediate point. Even with a less than perfect stroke, if you focus your attention to roll the ball over that point that is on your chosen line, you are more than half way there.
Extra Simple Putting Tip:
If you find you are long on most putts you hit, you need to stand a a couple of feet closer along your line on your practice strokes.
If you are short on most putts you need to stand further back on your practice strokes.
On of the best putting tips you can have is to ensure you follow these rules.
Your stroke and focus should be within these distances:
Inside 15 feet: Line is the focus
15 – 30 Feet: Feel and a bit of direction
30 Plus feet: All about distance control
Shallowing Rear Elbow in the Downswing
Many golfers have been told or are under the impression that the rear elbow should start or lead the downswing in order to shallow the club. But more often than not, that move will cause a few really undesirable things to happen during the downswing.
In this video, we’ll take a look at what those things are, and show you a better alternative for that right elbow.
Trying to achieve a squat in the downswing is something we see golfers do all the time in lessons. But trying to do that comes at a cost for many of them.
In this video, we discuss how the knees work in the downswing, and is the squat something you need to be trying to do in your golf swing.
