Stop Falling Back – Rotate THROUGH The Shot
Michael Breed explains how rotating your shoulders is equally as important as rotating your hips.
Set up a visual aid at your lead shoulder and rotate through impact with your trail shoulder finishing in the spot your lead shoulder started.
This will help you transition your weight, and give you a more consistent low point in your swing.

Trigger For Your Golf Swing
Do you have a trigger for your golf swing? Do you freeze over the ball with anxious anticipation on how and when you’ll finally take the club back.
If that’s the case you should develop a Trigger for your golf swing. All the major players have one: Jack has a head tilt, Gary has a knee kick, Jason waggles, The Shark moves his club.
Quite The Chap isn’t he that elite category but he uses a swing thought made famous by Harvey Penick.
Start the swing with a gentle forward press. If you don’t have a Trigger, start experimenting and develop one now there are hundreds to choose from.
Impact Checkpoint – Training Your Low Point Line
Golfers struggling with a concept known as “low point” will often face a variety of consistency issues ranging from poor contact to erratic start-lines. Students working on their impact orientations (and in turn this concept) may also have added difficulties when increasing speed & power.
For these situations, a simple pool-noodle or vertical alignment stick can increase spatial awareness and provide additional feedback regarding any sway/lunge patterns that may be present; this creates an environment where players can gradually increase the length of their backswing and still maintain efficient impact orientations.
Overall, improving low point should be one of the first considerations in the search to consistently find more fairways and greens.
Don’t Lift the Hands in the Backswing

If your depth is too great, you will jeopardize your chances of creating more loft and greater distance. Follow a few simple steps and we’ll have you lowering scores and creating more accuracy.
