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!

SH032. How to Hit a Full Swing Wedge

In this video, you’ll learn how to hit a full swing wedge.

I’ve received many questions about these; so, I want to address any confusion concerning this shot.

Most players think of using wedges for specialty shots, such as coming in low with tons of spin.

However, it’s common to have approach shots at around 85 to 100 yards…

So it’s definitely a good idea to familiarize yourself with making a full swing with your wedge.

In the video, you’ll get some great tips to try out at the range.

Discover…

  • If there are any changes you need to make with your grip,
  • Where to position the ball in your stance to avoid chunking or thinning it,
  • How to avoid being too handsy with your full wedge swing, and
  • Why you should focus on swinging with your core.

Watch this video now to eliminate any confusion you may have about hitting solid, full swing shots with your wedges!

G054. How to Stay in Posture in Your Golf Swing | Rip the Power Chord

In this video, you’ll learn how to stay in posture in your golf swing and generate a lot of power from your body.

The end goal of this video is to build up all of your power and unleash it at contact.

Staying in your posture can help you maximize your power.

An all too common mistake players make is coming out of posture too soon.

Think about what that does to your power.

If you pull out of your posture early, then you’ll likely start flipping the club just to make decent contact with the ball.

And as soon as you start flipping the club, say goodbye to your lag and your power.

Staying in your posture, on the other hand, allows you to maintain your lag and puts you in a better position to whip the club through contact.

In the video, I refer to a good visualization as “rip the power cord.”

This will help you maintain your posture and stay connected in the swing.

If you stand up out of your posture early, you’re unplugging the “power cord.”

Timing is huge when it comes to your posture so make sure you’re ripping the power cord at the correct moment.

Watch this video now to learn how to stay in your posture and generate more power in your swing!

SH031. Golf Putting Tip | Best Cheat to See the Line (Rifle Scope Drill)

In this video, you get a great golf putting tip.

To make a lot of putts, the first thing you’ll need to do is find your line.

The Rifle Scope drill is the best cheat that I’ve found to help you find your line fast.

It’s like you’re shooting down the barrel of a rifle.

In the first part of the video, you’ll learn how to test which of your eyes is dominant.

Once you discover which eye is dominant, you’ll want to have that eye looking down the line for your putts.

Next, stand next to the ball with your dominant eye slightly behind the ball’s line to the hole.

This will put you in a good position to naturally see your line throughout the putt.

A few more tips…

  • Get just a little bit of forward shaft lean for a better roll, and
  • Keep your left wrist flat and hold your finish to avoid a stabbing motion into contact.

You’ll learn how to hit great shots that check up next to the pin.

It’s always cool to watch the top pros chip the ball from around 30 yards out.

The ball kicks once on the green then comes to a dead stop next to the pin.

That’s the type of shot you’ll learn in this video.

Discover…

  • Why you don’t want to put the ball way back in your stance,
  • What tools you need to clean your wedge grooves, and
  • How the angle of attack and loft of the club affect your spin.
