G058. To Drive Long or Straight in Golf | Which is Better?

In this video, “To Drive Long or Straight in Golf | Which is Better?”…

You’ll finally discover if you should focus on distance or accuracy.

First, you’ll get a discussion on PGA Tour stats.

The stats are crystal clear for tour players.

I took a look at the 2015 stats, and the players that hit it longer made tons more money.

In fact, a lot of the shorter, and more accurate hitters, struggled to keep their tour card.

Think about it…

Would you rather be 170 yards to the hole in the rough…

Or would you choose to be 210 yards away in the fairway?

For tour players, the answer is easy…

The closer the better.

The same applies to the rest of us.

If you’re playing a long par 4 (let’s assume 450 yards).

A long hitter may punch it out 300 yards and be left with a 150 yard approach shot.

A short hitter with a much lower swing speed may hit it 240 yards and be left with a 210-yard approach shot.

Given a choice, I’d bet you’d rather be 150 yards out in the rough that be in the fairway with a long 210-yard 2nd shot.

Clearly, if you have really good swing speed but you’re so wild that 9 out of 10 of your drives are out of bounds, then you should concentrate on your accuracy.

But the vast majority of players should focus on improving their swing speeds and getting more distance.

In this video, you’ll learn some great tips to get more distance on your drives.

You’ll discover…

  • How to make a full power turn, and
  • How to swing your driver with a higher launch angle.

Watch now to get more distance on your drives!

G057. How to Release the Golf Club (3D MySwing Drill)

In this video, “How to Release the Golf Club (3D MySwing Drill)…

You’ll get an interesting look at the biomechanics of the golf release.

I strap on a bunch of sensors to capture a 3D look at how my body moves.

What’s really cool is that the MySwing software produces an overhead view of the swing.

That’s a view that’s really difficult to see with standard video capture.

Here’s the bottom line…

This analysis offers an in-depth look at the golf swing that you can’t get with standard video.

You’ll see…

  • How lag angle is created in the downswing,
  • How your hips rotate into the release, and
  • How your shoulders rotate through contact.

MySwing 3D is unbelievable technology to measure the angles created in the swing…

And this video will show you how to achieve a pro-like release.

You’ll learn how to swing through the golf ball like it’s just getting in the way.

L020. Feel Lag with the Pump Drill!

In this video, you’ll learn how to feel lag with the pump drill!

This is a great drill to feel the sensation of maintaining your lag in the downswing.

As you’ll see in the video, there are 3 checkpoints that you need to follow…

#1 Shallow Out the Club

This is important.

You don’t want to perform this drill and ingrain your swing with a steep club path.

So make sure you check your path.

#2 Don’t Forget Your Lower Body

It’s easy to perform the pump drill with just your arms.

The problem is that if you don’t use your lower body, you’ll mess up your sequencing.

Engage your legs and rotate your hips open while practicing the pump drill.

#3 Put it All Together

Pump your lag twice while engaging your lower body…

Then on the 3rd pump, swing through and make contact with the ball.

Watch this video now to learn the pump drill and get tons more lag!

G056. Strengthen Your Mental Game! Make Practice Count

In this video, you’ll get great tips to strengthen your mental game on the practice range.

I’m sure you noticed people on the range step up and beat ball after ball and spray the suckers every which way…

Hook, slice, topping the ball, hitting it thin, etc.

Don’t be that guy.

Beating thousands of golf balls just for the heck of it isn’t the best way to train.

Instead, focus on a part of the swing that you’re trying to improve and always have a target.

Here’s how I start off at the range.

I’ll hit some short wedge shots 50 to 60 yards at a flag on the range.

Once I can nail these shots close, then I’ll move on to a 100 yard shot, then longer and longer as I go through my irons.

Again, each shot has a purpose. Don’t just whack balls randomly.

Also focus on a part of the swing that you’re working on.

For example, if you’re struggling with a bad slice, focus on bringing your club on a more in-to-out path, but still aim for a flag or another target.

Watch this video now strengthen your mental game during training and improve your confidence!

BR009. How to Synchronize Your Golf Swing

In this video, you’ll learn how to synchronize your golf swing.

And I’m sure you’ve heard the saying…

“Making it look easy.”

That’s pretty accurate when you watch top players on tour.

They can bust out 280+ yard drives with a super smooth, effortless looking swing.

And it’s incredibly frustrating for many players that feel like they’re swinging out of their shoes but can only hit the ball 240 yards.

How is that possible?

What are the pros doing that most players aren’t doing?

Well, a lot has to do with synchronizing your swing.

In this video, you’ll learn the 90-90 drill to help you make a smooth, synchronized swing.

It’ll feel like you’re swinging with much less effort, but you’ll still get a lot of clubhead speed.

Watch now to get effortless power!

BR008. Golf Lesson for Effortless Power

In this video, you get a great golf lesson for effortless power.

We all want a nice, fluid swing…

But how can you possibly get the distance you want if you’re not swinging out of your shoes?

Find out in this video…

You’ll learn how to smooth out your swing and boost your clubhead speed at the same time.

Weight Shift

Your weight shift is really a huge key to achieving a smooth swing.

It’ll help improve your timing, tempo, and rhythm.

Think of your weight shift as 2 pivots.

One pivot is your right hip socket and the other is your left hip socket.

In the backswing, pivot around your right hip socket and allow your hips to rotate back.

Load up on your right leg and shift your weight to the left, rotating around your left hip socket.

In the video, you’ll learn a nice drill to improve your weight shift.

Long Swing

In the backswing, many players hinge their wrists and take the club back fast.

This results in a more compact swing and makes it more difficult to get speed in the downswing.

Here’s what you need to do instead…

Take the club back with a huge arc and let your hands go high.

Bubba Watson does a really good job of getting his hands and club high in the backswing.

You don’t need to be as extreme as Bubba, but you’ll likely find it easier to swing with more speed if your club is higher at the top of the swing.

Make sure you practice the drill that I show you in the video.

So, put these 2 keys together…

  1. Weight Shift
  2. Long Arms

… And you’ll be well on your way to producing effortless power!

SH033. Awesome Golf Putting Drill | 18 Hole Birdie Drill!

In this video, you’ll learn an awesome golf putting drill called the “18 hole birdie drill.”

The best players that I see out there day in and day out are the players that practice their putting like they’re in a tournament.

They don’t just putt a few 3 footers and then move on to the range.

They find a way to make their practice putts matter so that when they’re out on the course, they’ll be clutch.

As you practice this putting game, keep track of your progress.

For each putt that you make, count it as a birdie.

So, if you drain it, you’re -1.

Hit the next one in and you’re -2 and so on.

For your first putt, set the ball in the 8 to 12 foot range.

This distance will be your most common range on the course so it’s important to get a good feel for this range.

Next, hit a putt in the 10 to 20 foot range that has a different break than the first ball you putted.

Do this 18 times, varying your distance and break for each putt.

Remember…

Keep track of your progress and see if you can break your record each time you practice your putting.

Watch now to learn this fun putting game and drain more birdie putts!

C018. Golf Lesson to Hit Pure Iron Shots | Shoulder to Shoulder Drill

In this video, you get a golf lesson to hit pure iron shots.

Now, 3 things need to happen to hit your irons solidly…

  1. Good weight shift,
  2. Good rhythm, and
  3. Consistent contact with the ball first, then the ground.

You’ll learn several drills to help you get there.

For your weight shift, you’ll go through a set of progression drills working through two zones.

Focus on staying in posture as you work through the weight shift drill.

Once you nail your weight shift, move on to your rhythm.

Grab a rope and swing it around in a big circle with your right hand.

Concentrate on snapping it through at the bottom of the arc.

This motion is similar to that of a jump rope.

You want that same snapping motion with your club as you make contact with the ball.

Later in the video, you’ll see a drill to improve your contact.

Place a tee in the ground with about a quarter inch showing.

Concentrate on hitting the tee first, then grazing the ground after.

This simple tee drill will help you develop consistent and compressed contact with the ball.

Lastly, you’ll put all these drills together and start hitting solid irons.

Watch now to hit pure iron shots!

G055. How to Stop Getting Too Steep | Right Arm in Drill

In this video, you’ll learn how to stop getting too steep in the downswing.

It starts with your right arm.

A common fault that I see a lot of players make is when they protrude the right arm too much from the body at address.

Doing that tends to alter your spine angle at address and also contributes to coming out of your posture.

And worst of all, it can cause you to swing the club on a horrible path with a really steep downswing.

To fix this, concentrate on having your right elbow pointed behind your body at address.

Don’t jam your elbow into your body, but make sure your right arm isn’t rotated in such a way that has your elbow pointed out in front of you.

Watch this video now to get a great tip to avoid getting too steep in your downswing!
