BH003. The Snap Hook Myth | Don’t Be Fooled
In this video, you’ll learn why you shouldn’t be fooled by the snap hook myth.
Many golfers are fooled when trying to figure out the root cause of the snap hook.
Snap hook a shot out a bounds…
And a buddy will explain to you how you double-crossed…
…which is coming over the top and making contact with a closed club face.
Is that what’s really happening???
Nope.
What’s really happening is the opposite.
You’re coming in way from the inside with a reasonably square club face.
Cool fact: about 75% of the ball direction is determined by the club face.
However, a severe in-to-out club path can put tons of side spin on the ball and help cause a snap hook.
In the video, you’ll see the FlightScope data for a true snap hook.
I hit a nasty snap hook and you’ll see the data on my club path.
It clearly shows a severe in-to-out path and I make contact with the club face slightly closed.
The key is to realize that a snap hook is not caused by coming over the top.
OK, now you know what’s going on when you snap hook the ball…
So how do you fix it?
First, get your path going more towards the left (or less in to out).
Second, stay in your posture.
It’s typical for a snap hook swing to come out of posture with the shoulders going up and out.
Overall, you should feel like you’re trying to hit a cut shot.
Put these two tips together and you’ll fix your snap hook in no time.
Watch this video now to destroy the snap hook myth…
And fix it for good!
C011. How to Improve Your Golf Game Fast | Variability Training
In this video, you’ll learn how to improve your golf game fast.
So, are you a range rat?
Do you spend tons of time putting in thousands of reps…
…hitting the same shots over and over and over?
Well, you can improve through endless repetition…
But there’s a better (much faster) way to improve.
In this video, you’ll learn how to speed up your training with variability drills.
Before we start, consider how most golfers (including me when I first started playing) approach their training.
They think that in order to be consistent, you need to hit the same shots endlessly.
That does work, but variability training allows you to get a better feeling for your shots…
And ultimately, you’ll get better control of your club.
So the next time you’re on the course and you hit a bad shot, you’ll be better prepared to make the correct adjustment to your swing.
Compare that to repetition training.
If your swing is a bit off, it can be incredibly frustrating because you won’t know exactly what’s causing your problem.
Here are a few variability drills to work on…
First, place a tee in the ground and focus on hitting in front of the tee.
Keep in mind, this is not the shot you want to ultimately hit, but the goal here is to develop better control of your swing.
Second, hit the tee and the ground at roughly the same time.
This is the shot you want and your goal is to have a divot in front of your tee.
Third, hit behind the tee.
The reason this variability drill works is that it gives you a frame of reference for what it feels like to hit behind the ball and the opposite of hitting in front of the ball.
As you familiarize yourself with the extremes, you’ll be able to quickly recognize and correct swing problems.
Next, practice by varying your spine angle.
Try hitting a tee with a reverse pivot.
Then trying hitting a tee while leaning back too much.
Finally, focus on hitting a tee with a stable spine angle.
Again, it’s all about feeling the extremes.
You’ll develop better control of your swing.

C010. How to Make Clean, Crisp, Solid Contact in Golf
In this video, you’ll learn how to make clean, crisp, solid contact in golf.
You’ll get a close look at:
- how the leading edge of your club affects the club face angle,
- how to limit your club face rotation for more consistent contact, and
- how your divots give you great feedback on your shots.
Start things off by studying the leading edge of your club.
Keeping the leading edge aimed at your target, see what happens when you adjust the shaft angle.
If you shallow the club, notice how the club face points left.
As you raise the club vertically, notice how the club face starts pointing right.
So, why does that matter?
Well, to make contact with a perfectly square impact (like the pros)…
You’ll need to shallow out your club path in the downswing.
I call this The Move in the Top Speed Golf system.
This move helps you make square contact with forward shaft lean.
If you don’t do The Move and come in a little over the top, you’re club face won’t be square to the target.
Also note that your divot will look similar to a dollar bill if you make square contact.
Bowing your wrist in the downswing is also part of The Move.
As you’ll see in the video, bowing your wrist helps you come into contact with a more stable and square club face.
This improves your consistency.
Watch this video now and find out how to make clean, crisp, solid contact in golf!
