When people think of how to start the swing, they often focus on the direction or shape. This can lead to a disjointed action.
In this video, Martin Ayers of Northbound Golf shows and explains that instead, the best way to start your swing is to begin in sequence.
This beginning sequence maintains the cohesion needed for a more powerful and precise swing motion.
Let’s examine your trail shoulder during the downswing. What’s it doing? Is it staying high?
It is moving down? Or is it moving down and around? I share tips to help you get better impact and rotation with a focus on your trail shoulder during the downswing.
Many players keep the trail shoulder too high, which can result in an early release (losing the lag) of the club. Instead, let’s use that trail shoulder to keep your angles intact, so you can get more distance off the tee and fairway.
How to Keep the Hands and Arms in Sync
A simple tool can go a long way for your golf swing. Collin Morikawa demonstrates how he uses a lanyard to keep his hands, arms and body in sync.

Weight Shift in the Golf Swing
Jack played this way for a year. Looking at how he shifted his weight, how his knees moved in, rotating on his instep, and how it compares to skiing can help you understand how to direct the momentum of the club.
Understanding the causes and effects of lag in your golf swing, you’ll see how lag is generated in your golf swing.
Forcing or holding off lag in the downswing is often done incorrectly and can lead to more issues.
Too many golfers spend their time on lag techniques that are forced and against your natural mechanics.
Avoid Freezing Over the Golf Ball
Have you ever become frozen over the golf ball, unable to initiate the swing?
Standing over the ball too long before beginning your backswing indicates too much thinking. Freezing at address is also an indication of over-thinking. Mostly this is unproductive at best and destructive to your swing at worst.
In this video, Michael Powers of Northbound Golf identifies and defines the cause of the problem.
Grip Pressure
Jeff Ritter delivers a performance strategy to help find optimal grip pressure in your golf swing.
Too many people are too tight at set up or even if they are relaxed they tighten immediately as they go back.
Watch this grip pressure tip then imagine you have a smart grip on your club so you can get the same grip pressure throughout your golf swing too.
