How To Start Your Golf Downswing Sequence
December 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Written By Bobby Eldridge When you learn how to start your golf downswing sequence properly, it will change your golf forever! If I got a dollar every time I heard an amateur golfer said to me “your swing looks so effortless and yet you hit it 10 miles”. OK so maybe they don’t say 10 miles but they are really impressed with how smooth my swing looks. Well let me say something that might shock you. Your swing looks smooth when you hit it well also. I want to stop and share something with you. The main reason amateur golfers think my swing looks so smooth is because my results are usually... [Read the full story]

How To Correct (Fix) Golf Hook Shot
December 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Learning how to correct a golf hook shot is a must if you want to keep your ball in the fairway. You must fix a hook, as it can easily run off the fairway after it lands due to the overspin on the ball. A fade is much easier to control and keep in play than a hook any day! Cause Of A Hook Shot In Golf As you can see in the picture; typically a hook is caused by an in-to-out swing, coupled with a closed clubface, creating a strong topspin (right to left) rotation on the golf ball. The closed clubface is the real issue, as in inside to out swing is a good thing, not a bad one. Learning how to square... [Read the full story]

How To Get Power In Golf Swing
December 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Learning how to get power in your golf swing is easy. Kenny Perry is not the fittest guy around, but he bangs it LONG! He’s a perfect example of creating lots of power, and with an unorthodox golf swing to boot! He averaged 293 yards off the tee on the PGA Tour last year. Not bad for a 49 year old who’s carrying an extra 30 pounds! What’s his secret to hitting 300 yard drives? I can tell you he has a very late release of the club, which is another term for lag in the golf swing. To improve driving distance, wrist lag is a very effective way to do it.

Golf Stretching For Long Drives
December 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Most golfers know that stretching is a must if you want to hit long golf drives. The ability to fully stretch (load) specific golf muscles, so that they unload with maximum swing speed through the golf ball is a key component to longer drives. One of the most important things to do is make a full shoulder turn. This is an area that most golfers (especially over 50 years of age) are deficient at. Do you struggle to make a bigger golf backswing? If so, you’re not alone. The culprit is tight muscles that get only tighter when you “attempt” to make a complete backswing, and you’re...

Golf Chipping Tips To Lower Your Score
November 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Written By Bobby Eldridge I am going to give you some insight into why you struggle with those tiny little chip shots around the green. It doesn’t matter if you have a great lie or not, if you will go through these steps you will begin to consistently make ball-turf contact. The first thing you have to remember is that a chip shot is a shot that fly’s 1/3 of the way to the hole in the air and then 2/3 of the way on the ground. The reason I mention that is because club selection is very important. A great tip to remember is: when your ball is in the front of the green and the pin is in... [Read the full story]

Tension In Arms Kills Golf Swing Speed
Unless you’re Camilo Villegas, or 20 years old, tension in your arms is not a good thing!
