Rotate for More Power

Rotate for More Power

Increasing your rotation is as easy as dancing.

Sam Snead, regarded as having a perfect swing, known as “Slammin’ Sammy” for effortlessly hitting the long ball, and one of the all time greats, knew you had to let your body rotate, both in the backswing and the follow through.

If you want power, distance, and consistency, you need to learn how to rotate and swing the club with your body.

One of the reasons you lose distance as you get older is that you stop rotating.

When you rotate with your body, speed and power feels easy.

The Full Body Swing shows you how to use your body AND your arms efficiently. It starts by learning how to use your body… THEN add the arms.

Narrow Stance for More Accuracy

Narrow Stance for More Accuracy

Try this drill if you struggle with pure contact…

Most people sway when they swing a golf club.

Swaying usually results in poor contact, thinned and fat shots, because your swing orbits around your center of mass.

When you sway, the low point of your swing moves too.

This is a common problem if your stance is too wide.

Start with a narrow stance, if your contact is instantly better, this drill is for you.

Practice by rotating all the way through your shots with a narrow stance… then slowly widen your stance being mindful not to let your body start to sway in your swing.

The Full Body Swing shows you how to use your body AND your arms efficiently. It starts by learning how to use your body… THEN add the arms.

Sweep The Ground

Sweep The Ground

You don’t need to help the ball…

A lot of people try to hit “down” on the ball… Others try to help the ball up into the air.

In truth, you want to sweep through the ball.

Your swing doesn’t change between shorter clubs and longer clubs… where you make contact with the ball in your swing changes slightly, but how you swing does not change.

You don’t need to help the ball… either by hammering the ball down or trying to lifting the ball into the air. The face of the club is designed to do all the work for you based on your distance and desired ball flight. (That’s why you get 14 clubs.)

Like a broom, if you hammer down or sweep up, you won’t get much done.

A smooth swing that fits the leading edge of the club between the ball and the earth will always deliver the best result.

Make Pure Contact

Make Pure Contact

Practicing on mats can make your contact worse…

Mats have a tendency to encourage fat shots…

When you hit behind the ball on most mats, your club bounces off the mat and skids into the back of the ball.

The result is a little less distance, but it doesn’t always “feel” like a bad shot… so unless you have a golf simulator, you can’t really tell that you hit the ball fat.

The cure is to give yourself an obstacle behind the ball so you know when you start to get a little heavy with your swing.

I’ve used alignment sticks, towels, and even high impact acrylic plates… On grass, a line of sand or paint works well.

Fat shots usually happen when your rotation stalls.

Use the obstacle behind the ball as a reminder to keep rotating all the way through your swing.

The Tee Claw makes a great visual reminder to keep rotating.

Groove Your Swing At Home

Groove Your Swing At Home

Use this drill to groove your swing anywhere…

If you struggle to strike the ball pure… you may just need more practice – more time swinging a club.

Going to the range is a commitment… but it can be hard to know what to practice at home.

Pound for pound, one of the best drills is to create a channel and simply swing through the channel, lightly brushing your mat in the same place every time.

You can do this drill anywhere you have enough space to swing a club.

Pro Tip: Use a golf mat or even a door mat to protect your carpet from “fat” swings.

Fix Your Aim

Fix Your Aim

Most People Aim Too Far to the Right…

Most people aim too far to the right… It’s called parallax.

Because golf is played side-on, we end up with a parallax issue. Your ball wants to go straight to the target… but when you address the ball, your eye is looking at the target… from a different angle.

In the illustration above, your eye actually sees your target much farther to the right in relation to the background than the ball does. This means you end up aiming your feet to the right as well.

The result is either…

  • A push and slice as you hit out to the target your eye sees…
  • A pull / hook as your mind tries to correct at the last minute…
  • Or… worst of all, you get good at lining up to the right, crossing your body, and develop an out-to-in swing path.

Use the Tee Claw with a lanyard to help keep your alignment straight… so you can focus on your swing.

Knee Pain

Knee Pain

Use this exercise to reduce patellar knee pain…

A common golf injury is knee pain. With constant extensions and rotations of different parts of the knee, even the slightest of wrong movements can leave it susceptible to injury.

If you have knee pain from your patellar tendon (pain under the knee cap)… this exercise will actually help take away the pain.

Doing leg extension holds for just 30 seconds per leg everyday for a week can greatly reduce your patellar knee pain.

Use weights and build up strength, making sure you can still hold the weight for the full 30 seconds, to bulletproof your knees.

Move Fast to Swing Fast

Move Fast to Swing Fast

Use this drill to practice swinging fast…

Swing weights and weighted clubs are problematic.

Swing weights overload your joints…

And while swing weights help build some muscle, the added weight actually trains your body to move slower…

You shouldn’t only practice swinging heavy because swinging heavy slows you down.

If you want to swing fast, you have to practice swinging fast.

The easiest way to swing fast is to swing light.

Swinging light primes the body to move faster.

The Whoosh Drill is the best way to practice swinging fast.

Use an alignment stick or club shaft without a clubhead if you have one. Practice swinging, working to increase the “whoosh” sound out in front of the ball. The auditory feedback helps you find your body’s natural sequence to maximize your whoosh. When you can consistently achieve your max whoosh, switch to your driver.

The Whoosh Drill is a great warmup before hitting driver. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can gain a few extra MPH.
