The ability to putt well can feel like the difference between making it and breaking it in the game of golf. It is, after all, where the majority of strokes are taken. That being the case, it’s very important to know how to putt–and how to putt well.
This simple putting technique “The Position” is used by most PGA tour pros and it could have you putting like the pros in no time.
In this video, Titleist member Dave Phillips explores casting. This common fault gets its name from fishing and those who suffer from it release the club early, resembling an angler who snaps the tip of his fishing rod to launch the lure out onto open water.
If you’re casting the golf club, you’re losing speed and power, because you’re losing the angle between your wrists and the club shaft prematurely. In golf, when you lose your angles early, you dump all the stored energy you’ve generated in your backswing before you need it – at impact.
The key to curing a casting motion is learning to use your lower body properly. When you can separate the turning of your hips from the uncoiling of your upper body, you maintain lag and swing in an efficient sequence that allows you to lean the club shaft forward, de-loft the club face and deliver maximum force into the back of the golf ball.
Develop this skill as described by Dave and you’ll start hitting crisper, more powerful shots with a lot less effort.
When you watch golf there’s nothing quite like watching the pros smash their drives 300 plus yards far into the distance.
But how far does the average golfer hit the ball?
Thanks to great advances in golf tracking technology from the folks at Arccos, top analysis by Golf WRX and the latest Golf Distance Insights Report produced by the USGA and R&A we now have great data available to answer this question.
So in this video present the latest information broken down by age, gender, handicap and swing speed!
Golfers who wish to hit the ball straighter often have to improve their Side Bend. In this video Martin looks at extension, side bend and explains what role this can play in creating your straighter golf shots.
In this video Jeff discuss how to release the golf club for better consistency!
Do we release the club via a hand release, or do we release the club via a body rotation release? Follow along as Jeff takes us back to the basics properly rotating and squaring the clubface through impact.
