The T-Gate Drill: Two Tees for a Truer Stroke

by Martin Chuck

 

Grab two tees before your next putting session. This one takes two minutes and shows you the truth about your stroke.

Set the tees as a gate, just wider than your putter head. Then start rolling putts through with your right hand only.

The right hand alone builds feel and awareness you lose the second both hands take over. And the gate is honest with you. Clip a tee and you know your path wandered. Clean pass and you know you stayed square.

That combination, feel plus feedback, is how a stroke gets repeatable.

Watch the drill, set your gate, and roll a few.

The putter in this video is the RS1. It's the one I've had in my hands lately and it's worth a look.

Improve Your Delivery and Impact with the Payne Stewart Drill

  Most golfers who come to the Tour Striker Golf Academy fight the same thing... The club comes over the top, and good shots turn into bad ones... Let me show you the Payne Stewart drill.  He used a simple alignment rod but I'll show you how I do it using the Tour Striker Toolbox  (which you can use on range mats, too.). If you can't seem to achieve the "inside out" swing we all want... And especially if you struggle with an "over the top" move... This drill will quickly teach you how to get the club onto the ball the right way and in a reliable way.

Inside a Real Lesson: Getting a 70-Year-Old Moving Again

  I keep the camera rolling at the academy, and every so often I catch something worth sharing. My student is 70. Good player. But he'd talked himself into believing his body couldn't move like it used to. I don't buy that. So I reached for a Smart Ball. It keeps the arms connected so the body has to do its job. Watch his face about the third swing in. That's the moment I teach for. That's why I built it. Not in a lab. Right here on the lesson tee, watching real golfers feel what I was teaching.

Lots of Ways the Pros (and You) Can Use the Smart Ball

  Why does everyone love the Smart Ball?  Because everyone plays better when they remember to keep structure in their arms on full swings and short game shots. And that's exactly what the patented Tour Striker Smart Ball does: It keeps your arms from breaking down, so they remain structured, "connected" and working in unison with your lower body. This helps you strike the ball LONGER, STRAIGHTER and more CONSISTENTLY. By maintaining the structure of your swing and removing the "randomness" that happens when you bend your elbows... You gain RELIABLE control over where, when and how you contact the ball and the turf. People love it, too, because it's so versatile —  everyone can use it their own way, including inventing NEW ways to use it. As I'll show you in the above video... The traditional way is to position it between your forearms...but that's where the "tradition" ends. Some people try to keep the ball in place during the entire swing. Others let it "drop" during the downswing. Still others deflate it a bit and use it just above the writs. And lately I've seen the lanyard tucked into the waistband to keep short-game swings from getting too long. I know I'm biased, but given all the ways the Smart Ball can help you improve... This has to be one of the biggest bangs for the buck in golf! So, if you haven't tried the Smart Ball yet... Get yours here.
