In comparing Rory’s swing over the past 9 years we see some differences in the backswing, namely the takeaway and the position of the club at the top, but in all the swings we see Rory add posture into impact and follow through and get through the shot with an amount of side bend unattainable […]

In this video we see Tiger hitting a couple of mid length (20-30 feet) putts, and there is a lot for everyone to learn from his set up routine, his stance, and his stroke. One key word is “relaxed”: his lack of stress is evident from the moment he starts walking toward the ball to […]

Peter is an excellent player (scratch handicap) I see 3 or 4 times a year when either I visit Chicago, or he comes down to Florida to stay with his Dad and get out of the Chicago winter. Pete tends to hit the ball high with a draw, and his problem shot is one that […]

This video should help anyone who struggles with an inability to get the hands more forward at impact with an iron. The culprit is right arm and shoulder pull back (right shoulder retraction), which in transition causes all sorts of issues.

This video focuses on a 3-some of great ball strikers all hitting awful shots on a 225-yard par-3, then utilizing their short games to give them a chance to save par. Fowler leads off by fanning a 5-iron dead right off the top of the grandstand, getting a wonderful break when the ball kicks off […]
