This is a very interesting concept on how to turn your body by pressing your weight down in the backswing and downswing, versus the idea that you must turn your shoulders back, then turn through with your hips. Sounds confusing, just watch the video and when you try Danny Maude’s drill you will immediately feel
In this video Danny Maude demonstrates three drills that will help build your swing from the ground up, without ever hitting a golf ball. These are drills you can do at home all year long. _______________________________ To see more related videos like this one click on Keys To A Good Golf Swing
By now we all pretty much know that a slice, or strong fade, is caused by an outside-to-in downswing. However, knowing and fixing are two different things. In this video Danny Maude explains that the problem really begins at setup, and how to change your setup to help avoid the outside-to-in swing. _______________________________ To see
Chipping and pitching are two of the least understood shots in golf, and in this video Clay Ballard clarifies the distinction in terms of their goals. The goal for a chip is to get the ball on the green quickly, and let it roll to the flag with no spin; the goal for the pitch
One of the most significant keys to a good golf swing, and greater distance, is the ability to load up the right side on the turn. Part and parcel of making a good solid turn is having the flexibility to do so. As we grow older, one of the inevitable consequences of aging is the
by Kellie Stenzel One of the most beautiful sounds in golf is when a crisp iron shot makes contact with the ball, and then the ground. And you immediately know that it’s a good shot, because your ball is on a high trajectory on its way to the target, and will likely make a nice
In any given round, you probably use your putter more than any other club in your bag. Of course, if you don’t get off the tee, or miss-hit your wedges, you tend to not score well. But a one putt: now that’s worth it’s weight in gold and makes up for the other errant shots.
This is one of the most frustrating mistakes in golf – you are sitting in the middle of the fairway, and you know you can get on the green. But instead, you hit a fat shot that trickles down the fairway, you are now left with a tough pitch or chip, and you just gave
If your iron shots are flying low and short, it might be because you are not using the leverage of your body to hit down on the ball. In this video Aimee Chon demonstrates how we can more effectively use our body, so that our irons hit down on the ball with the strength of
by Tom Bertrand I have been using the Ben Hogan wrist release for about 3 weeks now, and I am hitting the ball longer, and straighter, than ever before. However, what is not mentioned in the video, and maybe goes without saying to the really good players, is that you must be on plane during
by Aimee Becoming a good chipper is probably one of the most important skills you can have in your bag. Maybe even more important than putting. Why? Because the average golfer will hit between 3 and 5 greens in regulation. That means you will likely be chipping onto the green between 72% and 83% of
by Paul Wilson We know the golf swing happens very quickly. But did you know that from the top of the backswing, to making contact with the ball is about 1/4 second? Maybe this is why the downswing is so hard – a lot has to go right in that 1/4 second if you are
by Paul Wilson Although this video is aimed at senior golfers who, over the years, have begun to lose distance, the fundamentals shown here apply to all of our everyday golfers. The typical solutions for loss of distance are: trying every new driver that comes along to buy back more distance, or simply swinging harder.
by Derek Hooper One of the most frustrating shots in golf is when you take a big swing, top the ball and it dribbles down the fairway – also known as a walk-to (you don’t have to get in the cart for your next shot). If you are like most of us your immediate reaction,
by Natalie Adams While watching Sunday golf the other day, I heard the commentator say how well this pro held her finish during the putting stroke. The term “hold your finish” is fairly common, especially during a full swing; however, I had not heard it applied to the putting stroke before. And each pro I
by Christina Ricci I’m sure you’ve all heard the advice that on your irons your hands should be ahead at impact, and seen the photos of the ball being compressed at impact by the pros. And, we’ve also done a video with Mike Dero on compressing the ball. But this is different. In this video

by Julian Mellor This lesson by Julian Mellor, a self proclaimed senior golf swing specialist, is pretty much counter modern day teaching methodology. It’s safe to say you are unlikely to see this swing on any of the tours today; however, you will see it in replays of Bobby Jones on YouTube For senior golfers
