In this video clip we stress the importance of rhythm in your golf swing. Believe it or not, the rhythm of your swing is established in the first few inches of your takeaway. When you can feel this flow of motion with the body and arms working in concert, together, tension free, as your swing begins, you WILL produce consistently better ball flights.

So many new golfers have been told to “keep your head down.” I’m here to tell you that is really bad advice! In this video clip you will come to understand why. And when you make the change to chin – up, you WILL play better golf! In the following video we demonstrate the connections and feel of motion gained by using a one piece takeaway. A proper takeaway establishes the rhythm of your swing as well as your connection to your target. This is perhaps the most ignored part of the swing by the majority of players, but certainly one of the most important. The terrible misconception is that “great putters are born, not made.” Nothing could be further from the truth. We can all become excellent putters once we understand and learn the feel of the fundamentals of putting. In this video clip you will come to understand the art of natural acceleration when putting. With a proper understanding and correct set-up position, predictably consistent putting just got a whole lot easier. For the better part of the past two generations, instructors and authors alike have been telling us that the moment of truth in the golf swing is IMPACT! This single piece of misinformation has caused more trama for golfers than perhaps any other – with the possible exception of the admonition to “keep your head down.” The Real Moment of Truth in the golf swing is the moment you deliver your club head speed (where is your WHOOSH?). Watch this video clip and learn the focus and feel of delivering your WHOOSH from the ball to your target, and learn to play far closer to the level of your talent! When struggling with your chipping game, the simple advice is Feel Up to Hit Down! The feeling of being stretched up in your address position gives you the confidence to hit down! Why? Because from a stretched – up position you can’t hit too deep – so you have eliminated the FAT shot. When you hit DOWN – you have also eliminated the THIN shot! What’s left – consistently solid contact! In this video clip you will come to understand and learn the feel of this stretched up posture for all your chips and pitches from around the green. WHAT WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM ERNIE ELS’ STRUGGLE WITH THOSE “SHOULD MAKE” PUTTS Ernie Els is one of the most talented players in the game. He’s had a great career (64 worldwide wins, including a US Open win at Congressional). Ernie was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame, a well deserved honor and rare achievement. But Ernie could be in the winners circle a lot more often if he would improve his putting. Ernie Els has been struggling with his short “makeable” putts for the past three years. In the 2010 US Open at Pebble Beach, on Sunday alone, Ernie missed enough 6 footers to win the tournament! Ernie tends to miss his short putts left. Often his left side quits upon impact, causing deceleration, and his right side takes over, which causes the putter face to release or close to his target line. Result: yet another “pulled” putt. Then, to avoid the miss left, I see him “guide or steer” his short putts. When this happens the ball doesn’t come off the putter face well, and he loses speed control caused by tension in his hands and forearms. Which, in turn, causes him to second guess his reads. There is absolutely no worse feeling in the game than standing over a putt we “should make” with the fear of missing it. And why does that anxiety creep in? Because , standing over that putt, we have lost the feel of both line AND speed and our confidence to deliver either one. Many a great player has succumbed to the putting woes as he aged. But for Ernie, and for all of you in that same boat, thankfully, that time has not yet arrived. Nor need it ever. Relax, help is on the way! If you find yourself in the same boat as Ernie, pulling your short putts left, take a look at the video below and pay close attention to how I get Ernie putting confidently. One of the most frustrating parts of this game in looking for “lost” balls. We can go a long way toward hitting the ball “where we’re looking” by simply keeping our elbows pointing at the ground throughout our golf swing. In this video clip we show you why that works and how you can quickly teach yourself this important connection in your own golf swing. In this video clip we stress the importance of spinning on a stable axis. When you Post-Up properly, you can both spin in place (make consistently solid contact) and spin faster (deliver more clubhead speed). Strike the ground beyond the golf ball, delivering all of your club head speed and power to your target, for the more accurate and consistent golf shots. |
