Load the club through transition and continue to stress the club during the downswing. Release the club with unwavering trust, then ride momentum to the finish. Finally, rest comfortably in balance as the recoil quietly completes the motion.

I am FOR equipment rollback; I am AGAINST bifurcation of the rules.

Golfers who fade the ball will typically experience a pull or slice as a miss. Whereas golfers who draw the ball will typically demonstrate a push or hook as a miss. When looking to change shapes, be prepared to see the accompanying miss(es).

Somewhat of a “rough cut” but putting the feelers out… I’d love some feedback, would this form of content hold some weight in the social media world? Please and thank you.
No click bait, no fancy editing, no outlandish claims, no broken promises and no lies. Just unbiased thoughts on how to shape a golf swing and some ideas on how to play the game.

The intention is always to feel the length and pace of the swing via the hands. The reality is, the body leads the way; STEP, SWING… STEP, SWOOOSH!

A golf club can't move itself... Every single part of you has a role to play, and every single part of you will experience motion at some point during a golf swing, intentionally or otherwise. Keep in mind however, even though a golf swing can be analysed in part, it is one whole, unbroken motion. The dance begins when the club is pulled from your bag...

The subtle variation which is found in every situation on the golf course, will not be found on the practice ground.

Golf is a target game, a game of ball control, a game of precision, a game of variation and adaptation… Is mastery possible? Who knows but we can have some fun finding out!

Getting ready for the final… Hints of 2007 but with the result of 2003, maybe. 😏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Swing Thought: Hands over right shoulder… Arms over left shoulder.

Note: EVERY golf swing relies on timing.

18/04/2023

Changing a golf swing requires repetition plus mental and physical effort, over an extended period of time. Genuine and lasting change won’t be found in hints, tips and fixes.

To golfers of all standards, what would you expect this golf swing to produce? Is there anything you’d look to change and why? 8 iron btw.
