Putting is arguably the most difficult part of golf. In order to make a putt you need to pick the correct combination of line and speed, and make a good stroke.
In this video lesson Mike discusses distance control in putting.
How your left wrist (for right-handed golfers) controls the club face right off the ball is very important. What Scott Hamilton talks about in this video not only can creep into a pro’s swing but can cause the everyday golfer a lot of issues as the swing continues back.
In today’s video, learn how to hit your driver dead straight! This simple drill will help you hit more fairways with your driver.
One reason golfers struggle to hit their driver straight is they have too steep of a vertical swing plane… the angle of their club shaft is too steep at impact. This can cause the club face to stay open to the target, or it can lead a flipping of the wrists – both of which will make it hard to hit your drives consistently straight.
Have you ever wondered how to start the golf downswing?
So, there’s three main forces that we can use off the ground: a lateral force, which is a push from side to side; a rotational force, which, as everybody knows, which is your turning; and a little bit of a vertical force, where you feel like you’re jumping up off the turf.
So, we have to be able to use all three, and when we do this, we can use this to create the most effective power in our golf shot.
I have a drill called the ‘bump, tuck, and turn’ that will get you some more power, distance, and accuracy.
In this video, I also show you a great drill you can do at home.
What you end up with after using these drills is your ball flying at your target, nice, long, and straight.
Here is the best, most consistent way we’ve found to shallow the golf club on the downswing. Doing it this way will simplify your golf swing and improve your ball striking.
