How a Little ‘Bear Wrestling’ Can Fix Your Golf Swing

by Martin Chuck

As a coach, I use all kinds of tools — words, feels, visuals, launch monitors — but sometimes none of it clicks.

That’s when I’ll step in, grab the club, and physically guide a player into the right motion.

That’s when the lightbulb goes off. 💡

The problem? I can’t bear wrestle everyone.

So I started thinking… what if you could feel that same guided motion on your own?

Turns out, you can.

The training tool I’m using is the Tour Striker Swing Trainer — the same one that comes with 32 in-depth video lessons like this.

If you’ve ever known what to do but couldn’t quite feel it, this might be the missing piece.

How to Hit Lower Flighted, Reliable "Stingers"

  In my opinion, one of the iron shots you must have in your "arsenal" is the low-flying, controllable "stinger." You can use it when you're dealing with "wind and weather"... When you need a long recovery shot... Or when you simply need to, "right the ship" and gain back your ball-striking confidence. I teach a version of this drill (called the "Cornerstone Drill") at my golf camps because the cost/benefit is off the charts good. What I mean is... Mastering this shot can save you a TON of strokes and the "cost" (ie, time to learn and ingrain) is a bargain. Now, there are some important keys to hitting this shot for stroke-saving reliability and control. And in the video, I'll call-out the key moves I want you to see... And I'll also point out what you DON'T see (ie, where things often go wrong). Give it a look, then give it a try and let me know if it helps you start scoring better.

How to Reliably Hit Your Stronger Lofted Clubs Like 3-Woods and Hybrids

  Why is it often harder for you to hit your fairway woods and hybrids off the ground?  You don't have enough "runway."  To hit these clubs powerfully and reliably... You need to get them traveling fairly level to the ground. The problem is, most golfers I see tend to be "too steep."  In today's video, I'll show you two ways you can fix this. One is by copying nearly any athletic motion (like throwing a ball). The other is by training with the FlexClick. It "educates" your wrists so you can start flushing strong, powerful shots... And never fear your fairway woods or hybrids again. Try the FlexClick or learn more here

How to Hit "Up" on Your Driver to Maximize Distance

  There are a lot of videos out there about, "hitting up on your driver"... But is this something you should be trying to do? The short answer is...Yes. Because drivers have relatively little loft on them... Hitting "up" (or as I prefer to say, "hitting while the club is ascending") helps launch the ball high while reducing spin. Together (and if you generate enough clubhead speed) these things can maximize carry AND roll, therefore maximizing your total distance. It's no coincidence the majority of tour players who bomb the ball hit up on it.  So, in today's video, I'll show you how to do it.  I'll cover the setup, which is quite different from your iron setup... I'll show you the type of backswing you should make.. And of course, how the club should ascend into the ball.  I'll also show you a simple drill you can do to learn and groove an ascending path with your driver. Give it a look...then give it a try! You’ll notice I’m using the Tour Striker Toolbox on the ground as a visual guide. It’s not required for the drill, but it’s a handy training aid that makes setup and alignment easier. (Learn more about the Toolbox here if you’d like to see how it can help with your own practice.)
