In today’s video Tyler discusses a key movement of the arms for helping maximize power. However, with a significantly steep angle of attack and a leftward path, you want to be careful copying his release.
If you struggle with slices or a chicken wing seeing Brooks tour version of a steep release could help you understand why you struggle with those moves.
To hit your irons like a pro you’ll want to shift your weight like one. As with most things in golf, there’s a right way and wrong way (wrong time).
Understanding the right way for the Golf Weight Shift will allow you to create tremendous leverage for yourself to produce powerful pure iron shots – tour quality iron shots!
GOLFTEC’s Director of Teaching Quality, Patrick Nuber, demonstrates a drill focused on hand path using just a wall that will help you rid yourself of that dreadful slice and encourage a draw.
Does the tilting of the hips shift pressure forward in the golf swing? Great swings have both hip tilt and pressure shifts, but does one cause the other to happen… that’s what we hope to answer in this video.
Understanding how the pressure shifts in the golf swing (or how it doesn’t) has been responsible for enormous distance gains in both our amateur and professional golfers.
In today’s video Sean Foley shows you a golf swing sequence drill. Great Drill to do with the Swingclick golf training aid, just wait for the click at the top of your back swing.

Today we are talking about a method to determine the exact carry of each one of your clubs. It is very important to know carry distance. If I am hitting over a bunker or water hazard, I need to know where the ball is going to land. Below is a method to determine club carry distance.
The first thing I need to do is determine the distance to a known target. On the cart, the GPS will tell you the distance, but the distance GPS is measuring is frequently inaccurate and should be compared against course markers. However, course markers generally measure to the center of the green, not the hole. My choice for accurate measurement is a range finder. The range finder will give the accurate distance to exactly where the pin is placed today. This is what I need to know to determine carry distance. The exact distance to my target determined by the laser is 66. My cart GPS said 70, it was off by 4 yards (94% accurate).
Now that I know the exact distance to my target is 66 yards, I will take my 60-degree wedge and 5 -10 balls. I will hit the balls to my target and see where they land on the green. I use my normal swing. Once I am done hitting all the balls, I go to the green to measure where they actually land.
I place tees in the ground indicating where the ball landed by their pitch mark on the green. Next, I step off and see how far the balls really roll out. On this particular green with my 60-degree wedge they did not roll much, between 3 and 6 yards. Now I know the carry distance on my 60-degree wedge is 75 yards and the balls roll out somewhere between 3 and 6 yards.
I have determined the carry and roll out distance on my 60-degree wedge. I will want to do this with each one of my clubs. Then I will know which club to hit into the green.
The carry distance is the yardage from the point of impact to the point of landing. Tip: Go to the driving range once a month or so and hit five – ten golf balls with each club to track off the distances you achieve with each club.
