C009. How to Stay Connected in Golf

In this video, you’ll learn how to stay connected in golf.

You’ve probably been told that you need a nice, connected swing.

Well, there’s one piece to that advice that you haven’t been told…

It’s that you only need to be connected as you contact the ball.

At the top of your swing, your right arm won’t be connected…

And in the follow through, your left arm won’t be connected.

So only focus on where it really matters to be connected – right when you’re hitting the golf ball!

Think of some of the big hitters on tour like Tiger Woods and Adam Scott.

Their right arms aren’t connected at the top of the swing.

They get their arms nice and high.

But a common drill among instructors is putting a club head cover underneath your arm so you stay connected.

Now, you can hit a ball well by staying connected…

But you’ll never get tons of speed in your swing by doing that.

That’s why I don’t recommend being connected at the top of your swing.

I want you to get more speed and distance with your shots!

What about your follow through?

The same idea applies with your follow through.

If your left arm is connected in your follow through, you’re holding back some of your power.

So focus on where it really does matter to be connected – impact.

Watch this video now to learn why you don’t want to be connected throughout the swing…

And also see exactly how to stay connected in golf just at impact (where it counts)!

C007. How to Shape Golf Shots Trick

In this video, you’ll discover a trick for how to shape golf shots.

Shaping your shots is incredibly important…

But what happens when your nice fade fails you and turns into a huge banana slice?

Well, the best way to combat an out-of-control slice is to understand exactly what to do to hit a draw.

This will allow you to quickly adjust your swing and avoid having one bad shot snowball into a disastrous round.

Knowing how to draw and fade your shots will put you in a much better position to adjust your swing during a round.

If you’re anything like me, you probably want a solid swing that behaves perfectly every time.

But here’s the rub…

In reality, that never happens.

Even top pros don’t hit it perfectly every shot.

The key is that they can quickly adjust and straighten out their shots on command.

In this video, you’ll get 2 key tricks to help you hit draw and fade shots…

So the next time your swing goes wayward, you can quickly make the necessary adjustments to fix the issues.

The first trick is for a draw…

Close the face of your club about 45 degrees.

If you were to take your normal swing, the ball would shoot way left with a hook.

However, the goal of this drill is to get you to swing your club on a more in-to-out path…

So to hit it with draw, you’ll need to open up your hips and get a lot of forward shaft lean.

Practice hitting these shots and focus on hitting with an in-to-out path.

Next, practice hitting some shots with your club face in its normal position, but remember to swing with the in-to-out path that you hit with earlier.

This trick will help you develop the feel for hitting a draw.

My second trick will help you hit a fade.

This time, you’ll do the opposite of what you did for hitting a draw.

Open your club face and hit with an out-to-in club path.

This extreme practice drill will help you get the feeling of hitting a fade.

Once you nail this out-to-in club path, adjust your club face back to neutral and practice hitting shots with the out-to-in path.

So you can fine tune your swing and get the ball flight you want on the course!

C006. Golf Tip for Forward Shaft Lean

In this video, you’ll learn a great golf tip for forward shaft lean.

Why is that important?

You need to get more forward shaft lean in order to hit the ball solidly like the pros.

PGA Tour players are delofting their clubs.

For a pitching wedge with about 45 degrees of loft, at impact they’re taking off around 15% of the loft.

This delofting of the club allows for more solid ball striking.

However, many amateur golfers are flipping the club and not hitting with any shaft lean.

You can make contact with the ball, but you’re not going to get much compression on the ball.

Here’s my tip that’ll help you get more shaft lean at impact…

First, make sure your hips and shoulders are open at impact.

Your hips should be open by around 45 degrees…

And your shoulders by around 20 to 30 degrees.

Being open at impact makes it easier to hit with forward shaft lean.

If your hips and shoulders are closed, it’s really difficult to get any forward shaft lean.

Practice this feeling by pausing your swing near impact and checking your hips and shoulders.

Also, make sure your left wrist is protracted out for forward shaft lean.

Do about 30 reps to ingrain this feeling.

Now you’ll be in a good position to compress your shots.

Next, practice full swings.

Watch this video now for a brilliant golf tip for forward shaft lean…

And compress the heck out of your shots!

C005. How to Hit a Golf Ball Dead Straight

In this video, you’ll discover how to hit a golf ball dead straight.

Focus is on the club path and club face angle.

Control those two parts of the swing and you’ll be able to hit it dead straight.

In the video, I’ll walk you through the steps it takes to control your club path and club face.

But, I must warn you…

The steps you’ll learn will take you outside your comfort zone.

But the overall goal is to help you develop more awareness of your club so you can control your shots better.

First, let’s work on your club path.

Close your club face and practice hitting shots with a club path that’s severely in to out.

This should help you hook the ball.

Next, open up your club face and hit shots with an out-to-in club path.

You should be fading your shots.

Remember, the goal of this extreme exercise is get a better feel for your club path and club face.

Once you develop a better feel for the extreme shots, it’ll become easier to make smaller adjustments later when you’re trying to hit the ball straight.

For example, if your shot starts off straight, then turns left of the target, that means your club face is fine, but you’re club path is a bit too much in to out.

Make a slight adjustment to your club path, and you’ll start hitting the ball straight.

Watch this video now to finally learn exactly how to hit a golf ball dead straight!

C003. Hit Solid Golf Shots | Missing Link to More Forward Shaft Lean

In this video, you’ll discover how to hit solid golf shots.

This is a great video for you if you’re struggling to get the dead solid feel at contact that comes with compressing the ball correctly in your golf swing.

First thing you need to work on is swinging with a shallow angle of attack and taking a really thin divot, almost like you’re taking a razor blade and slicing the top layer of turf off the ground.

If you’re taking those deep divots that scare the worms, you’re doing it wrong 🙂

Next, you’re going to need forward shaft lean as you come through contact.

Most PGA Tour players have a forward shaft lean of around 10 degrees with their irons.

In this video, you’ll discover the “missing link” to getting more forward shaft lean.

A lot of golfers try to force forward shaft lean in their swing, but end up opening their club face and hitting weak shots.

Watch this video now to get the forward shaft lean “missing link”…

And hit solid golf shots!

C002. Golf Strategy Lesson | How to Eliminate One Side of the Golf Course

In this video, you get a golf strategy lesson…

…that’ll teach you how to eliminate one side of the golf course.

This will really come in handy to help cut down on penalty strokes.

You’ll learn how to avoid the danger and protect your score.

In the video, you’ll see how you should block off one side of the course.

(Usually the side that’s out of bounds or maybe there’s some other obstacle you need to avoid.)

It’s almost like you’re putting up a giant brick wall on that side.

Let’s say you need to avoid the right side of a hole.

What you want to do is aim a bit to the left then cut the ball in.

Remember, the point is to avoid the out of bounds at all costs.

So even if you hit the ball a little bit too left…

That’s way better than having to take a penalty.

But by shaping the ball flight, your goal is to still hit the ball in the fairway.

You’re just playing it safe.

The same logic applies if the out of bounds is on the left side.

You’d aim a bit to the right and bring the ball back to hit the fairway.

Check out this video now to get a golf strategy lesson…

To avoid the bad stuff (and the penalty strokes) and keep your handicap down.

Let’s get started!
