CD013. Golf Weight Shift in Crazy Detail

In this video, you’ll learn about the golf weight shift in crazy detail.

You’ll be introduced to the science behind your weight shift and you’ll see the weight shift in action from studying long driver Jamie Sadlowski.

Jamie produces a silly amount of power, so it’s great to see how he shifts his weight in the swing.

Here are a few topics explored in the video…

  • How your weight shifts during the takeaway and backswing,
  • When you should start your weight shift to the left, and
  • When you should max out your weight shift in the downswing.

The shocking discovery when analyzing powerful swings is how early you need to start your shift.

Watch this video now to discover exactly how big hitters like Jamie Sadlowski shift their weight throughout the swing.

Learn these moves to add tons of power to your swing!

SH023. Best Putter | Evnroll Putter Review

In this video, you’ll see a great Evnroll putter review.

This is one of the coolest putters I’ve ever used in my life.

The reason that it’s so cool isn’t the design (which is awesome)…

But rather it’s the technology that’s in the putter.

Here’s what I’m excited about…

With your standard putter, if you mishit the ball a little, you’ll get less distance than if you hit the ball on the sweet spot.

Also, the ball will won’t roll straight.

The Evnroll putter, on the other hand, produces a more consistent putt even with mishits.

It does that by adjusting the grooves on the putter face.

Now, this putter won’t magically help you make long putts that are mishit, but it will help you minimize the effects of a mishit, and will help you get it closer to the hole — hopefully in the hole.

G047. Lower Hands for Better Impact

In this video, “Lower Hands for Better Impact”…

You’ll learn how to hit those really clean and crisp golf shots.

One of the most common mistakes I see with players is that, in the downswing, they get the club too steep and come in above the elbow plane.

You can easily check to see if you’re doing this by analyzing your divot.

Is your divot perfectly square or does it look more lopsided as if only a small portion of your clubhead made contact with the ground?

Your divot should have a nice wide square shape which shows you that the bottom of the clubhead made contact with the ground evenly.

When you notice a lopsided divot, that could mean that you’re coming in too steeply and the toe of the club is making contact with the ground first.

Here’s how to fix that:

As you start your downswing, you need to perform what I refer to in the Top Speed Golf System as The Move.

Essentially, this is shallowing out the club in the downswing.

Your left wrist should bow as you shallow the club path.

At first, it may feel like the hosel end of the clubface will hit the ground and that’s a normal feeling.

Just keep track of your divots to see the evidence if you’re coming in correctly.

Watch this video now to shallow out your club path in the downswing and get lower hands for better impact.

See if you can make a perfectly square divot!

C017. Hit Solid Irons Shots Now! | Forward Hand Release

In this video, you’ll learn how to hit solid irons shots now!

Top Speed Golf Instructor Michael Derr joins me to give you great tips on how to get into that nice release position that you see with all the top tour players’ swings.

First, you’ll see a demonstration of the full Straight-Line Release that we cite in the Top Speed Golf System.

This happens after contact, when the club splits your forearms at a 45 degree angle to the ground.

Swinging with a Straight-Line Release allows you to get forward shaft lean at impact.

Second, you’ll get a quick demonstration of what you don’t want to do — flip the club.

Flipping is the opposite of hitting with forward shaft lean and will cause you to lose tons of distance.

Next, you’ll get a close look at how your wrists should move in order to hit with forward shaft lean.

Note that you’ll also need to sync you upper body and hips with your lower body to open up your body and release the club at the correct time.

Watch this video now to stop hitting weak flips and to start hitting solid shots with forward shaft lean!

G046. Golf Warm-up Routine | Pre-round Driving Range Routine

In this video, you’ll learn a great golf warm-up routine.

We all realize that it’s a good idea to warm-up before you hit the first tee…

But I’m often asked by my students, “What’s the best way to warm-up before a round?”

That’s a great question because your pre-round routine, if done right, can really help you get off to a good start and help you throughout your round.

Now, your warm-up routine can vary, but, for the most part, there’s a general framework that I recommend you use.

Below is a quick review of what you’ll see in the video.

Loosen Up

Start your warm-up by loosing up.

You can do this with a sand wedge.

Hit nice and easy shots around 40 yards, and gradually build up to a full swing.

Work Through Your Bag

Now that you’re hitting full swings, work through your bag.

For example, you can hit a few with your pitching wedge, then 8 iron, then 6 iron.

As you’re working through the bag, concentrate on making a full turn, all the way back and all the way through with a good rotation.

Pay Attention to Your Ball Flight

Next, concentrate on your ball flight.

No matter how good a golfer you are, you’ll hit a little different from day to day.

For example, after a few shots, maybe you’re hitting a slight fade.

That’s fine; it just means you’re favoring a slight fade that day.

Straighten Out Your Ball Flight

Next, work on straightening out your ball flight.

Back to previous example, if you’re hitting a fade, adjust your club to a more in-to-out path.

Bonus: To improve your feel, hit a few draws, then a few fades, then hone in your ball flight to hit dead straight shots.

Grab Your Driver

After working on your ball flight, break out the big boy and imagine you’re playing a few of the crucial holes on the course.

For example, if hole #1 is a dog leg left, you may want to hit the ball on the left side of the fairway.

Practice that shot before you even climb on the tee box.

Imagine the added confidence you’ll have on hole #1 if you’ve already practiced that shot several times!

Even if you hit a few stinkers during your warm-up, you’ll have a chance to practice the shot and improve.

Overall, the pre-round routine shown in the video gives you a great process to work through and I promise that your confidence will go through the roof.

C016. Get Consistently Solid Contact | Early Extension Arms Out Drill

In this video, you’ll learn how to get consistently solid contact.

Coming out of your posture early is one of the biggest culprits that causes inconsistent shots.

And it’s more common than you think.

Just take a few minutes to watch folks at the range and you’ll see that a lot of players rise out of their posture way too early.

And, to a certain extent, this problem is likely affecting your swing as well.

In this video, I’ll help you improve your consistency with 2 great tips…

#1: Swing with a Full Rotation

A full rotation throughout the swing will not only help your power, but it’ll also help you hit with a stable, under control swing.

You’ll be able to use the momentum of the club more as opposed to muscling the club around, which is bound to cause inconsistency.

Not getting a full rotation may result in a choppier, inconsistent swing.

#2: Stay in Your Posture Through the Hitting Zone

Mentioned earlier, coming out of your posture early causes inconsistent contact.

If you stand up out of your posture before you make contact, you’ll be forced to adjust the club and may even flip the it just to make contact.

Flipping the club is a distance killer and will make it more difficult for you to hit with consistency.

In the video, you’ll see a great, simple drill to help you visualize staying in your posture.

And you can even do part of the drill in your living room 🙂

The tips in this video will help you make a consistent, full turn in the swing…

And will help you maintain your posture through contact for more consistent contact.
