If you have an impact snap for training your release, here's a little video explaining how I like to use that tool

+Guy K I haven't seen anything that discusses the advantage of pressing the ground. I can see some potential benefit to pushing down as a rhythm trigger to starting the swing. I do like the idea of the lead foot starting the takeaway, and a little p…

+B M Glad to hear that you're making some progress with your finesse wedge move. This crazy time with Covid is a great time to solidify concepts. Then when you get to training this summer, hopefully, you're time will be more effectively used. Hang i…

Here is my take on super speed. If you train speed out toward the target, instead of at the ball. It can be beneficial. Also, the shape of the club is different. The super-speed sticks train you to speed up the hosel, not the sweet spot.

Our member asked the question - "Right hip pivot video please. How much knee flex? Do you like to see a straight right leg at top of swing? Does right foot straight or flared open assist proper hip pivot?"
Here you go Stuart, let me know if someth…

+Lani H Hey, getting your golf game down to "everything but one area was pretty good" is no small step. Especially when it's something like solving the shanks with one specific club. Let me know how this drill works for you after you practice it!

+Kevin M Let's work on the hand/club location compared to address. Your handle is moving out into the golf ball too much to not hit the heel (unless you had a massive amount of ulnar deviation). Let me know if you have a hard time imaginging how to …

+Mark C Sounds like some good feedback. It does seem like it would help prevent a sway and promote a centered turn. Looking like an optimistic start. Keep us posted!

+Nick W While I do a fair about of rhythm and sequence training, I can't say I do a lot of specific tempo training. Other than with a metronome for putting. If you have some successful ways to train it, please share it with all of us.

Alright golfers, here is one way I like to help golfers prone to shanking develop a plan to never shank again. Check it out and see if you can swing a stick at an object. If you can, then you have to recalibrate where you are actually swinging the "…
