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.

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.

High Speed Tee

Ultra High Speed Ball Strike

What really happens to a golf tee?…

When a golf ball is compressed, it expands along the perimiter perpendicular to the impact point.

This expansion presses down on the crown of the tee, driving the tee into the ground.

The compression wave ripples forward to the front of the ball then returns creating a spring effect off the face of the golf club.

The club actually runs into the tee before the ball jumps off the face of the club.

Under ideal conditions, the tee can absorb the shock of the downward pressure from the ball compressing and kicks out of the way when the club comes through.

However, when the ground is firm… a traditional tee cannot move to absorb the downward pressure of the ball or get out of the way of the club.

When a traditional tee cannot move, the tee pushes up on the ball adding spin and reducing the amount of energy transferred… the opposite of what you want when driving the ball.

The Tornado Tee has a patented flexible crown designed to act as a shock absorber when the ball is compressed.

The flexible crown is also designed to let the club pass through the tee without the added resistance of a rigid tee.

Because the Tornado Tee flexes there is less spin and more energy transferred into the golf ball.

Using the Tornado Tee results in longer, straighter drives with less dispersion.

Low Point Control

Low Point Control

Create Consistency by Adapting to Different Low Points…

Consistency isn’t about hitting 10 of the exact same shot flush on the range… it’s about being able to adapt and overcome the variables of each new shot for good contact.

One of the biggest struggles for most golfers is Low Point Control.

If you struggle with fat and thin shots, you need to work on your low point control.

BUT… most people practice low point control wrong… swinging 1000 times trying to groove in a low point in their swing.

In golf, the ball moves… it’s above your feet, below your feet, on a slope, and seldom perfectly flat like on the range.

As well, your clubs are all different lengths… with different lofts. This means the ball is going to be closer or farther away from you, forward or back in your stance.

Learning to manage your low point means learning to manage your radius and adapt to the ball regardless of the conditions.

Use the Different Height Tees Drill to create consistency in your low point.

Drill for Centered Contact

Channel Drill

Make centered contact with this drill…

If you want more distance and control, you have to hit the center of your clubface.

BUT… how do you train centered contact?

Create a channel for your club to pass through.

Use a material that won’t hurt you or your club if you accidentally run it. Start slow with a wide channel. As you build up confidence and speed, make your channel increasingly narrow.

The trick is to have the confidence to swing without worrying about the channel or where you hit the ball. Focus on developing a confident smooth swing. Then, if the ball is in the right place, you’ll make centered contact.

Soon, you’ll be swinging mere millimeters away from the sides of your channel and you’ll have centered contact.

This drill works with every club in the bag… including your putter.

Pallof Press for Core Stability

Pallof Press for Core Stability

Improve stability by resisting the rotation…

The Pallof Press is one of the best exercises to build strength and stability in your core, especially for golf.

The Pallof Press builds the muscles responsible for rotation in your core without unnecessary pressure and force on your body or joints.

This exercise is deceptively difficult.

It doesn’t look like you’re doing much on the surface… but inside, you’ll feel nearly every muscle responsible for rotation and stabilization firing.

You should find the tension that allows you to do 20 – 25 Pallof Presses max.

For an additional challenge, try an isometric hold with your arms extended. The right tension means you can hold it for at least 30 seconds but not more than 60 seconds.

Thoracic Turn Test

Thoracic Turn Test

Check the separation between your hips and shoulders…

In the Kinematic Sequence, the hips fire first, then the shoulders, then the arms. This sequence creates a separation between the hips and shoulders in your downswing, using the muscles of the back and torso to further accelerate your rotation.

Tour Players frequently get 80° or more separation in their swing.

Amateur players usually get less than 30° of shoulder turn and use their arms to cheat, making it look like they took a deep turn.

Take the test and be honest with yourself.

When you cheat your turn, you are just swinging with your arms and losing power.

If you struggle to get good separation, don’t cheat your turn, use your body to help you take a full turn, all the way back and through the ball. The result is less effort and more distance.
