ELIMINATE EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT IN YOUR GOLF SWING
No doubt in my mind, the average amateur has too much excessive movement throughout their swings. This can manifest by ‘herky-jerky’ motions – swaying – lifting – and, especially having the arms get OUT OF SYNC with the lower body. One of the most – if not THE most – popular drills I give my […]
A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE STRETCH FOR THE RHOMBOIDS
Rhomboid Stretch – For better extension and coil. One thing I learned years ago was the body is ONE BIG WORKING UNIT, where everything is linked together. For example, our Hips control our Shoulders – and our Shoulders control our Arms, etc. Often times when my students come to me to for a specific musculoskeletal […]
‘SLIGHTLY’ PRESS INTO YOUR RIGHT FOOT TO START YOUR DOWNSWING
Everybody always asks “What starts the Downswing?” And WITHOUT QUESTION, everybody answers “The Lower Body”…Period! Some great players feel the Left Hip Shifting and Turning, others feel like their pushing off of their right foot, ad infinitum. One thing for sure that our force pressure plates prove that there’s a slight ‘Spike’ of pressure going down into […]
SOME VARIATION FOR BICEP STRETCHES TO COUNTER THE SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE
By now, you’ve probably realized that there’s an ongoing theme in my Videos and Newsletters that deal with the “Modern – Sitting Down Forward Bending Lifestyle” that we’re all victims of (i.e, if you drive cars, sit at desks and sofas, and even bend over in Golf Stances for decades – on and on). The […]
A SIMPLE PUTTING DRILL TO: MAKE THE PUTTER A ‘PART’ OF YOUR BODY – AND NOT ‘APART’ FROM YOUR BODY
I think a lot of golfers put too much emphasis on trying to manipulate the golf club instead of relying on the Rhythm of the Shoulders to have the golf club actually be an EXTENSION of their bodies. Obviously, there’ll be times when you need to hit a certain type of shot, where you’ll need […]
A GREAT HIP TEST AND STRETCH FOR YOUR HIPS AND QUADS
Without question, all sports (And Golf IS an Athletic Motion) relies on Lower Body Function, and THE most important part of the Lower Body are the Hips and Legs. PELVIC STABILITY, and I’m referring to how well the Hips and Legs Stabilize as well as Rotate, is Absolutely Crucial in the performance of the Golf […]
CURE BEING TOO QUICK WITH THE – STOP AT THE TOP DRILL
Without question, there is nothing more important in the golf swing than BALANCE – RHYTHM – and (especially) TIMING! As I mention in today’s video, you can have the greatest Swing Mechanics in the world, but if your Timing is off, it won’t do you much good. And, the reverse is true: i.e., you can […]
LEARN TO CLEAR YOUR LEFT SIDE WITH THIS SIMPLE DRILL
Very seldom do I see a high handicapper who’s in a good Impact Position, and very seldom do I ever see a good player who’s in a bad Impact Position…..Hmmm? The majority of golf instruction seems to be focused on getting into a good backswing position – so that the golfer will automatically be able […]
A Drill to Blend Weight Shift and Torso Rotation – TURN OVER THE CHAIR DRILL
Creating a better golf swing has many different facets and there are thousands of aspects that can be looked at; but in short, I believe that THE TWO major factors are Weight Transfer and Rotation. Along these lines, there are legions of different ways to make a back swing, but the majority of good players […]
