The Simple Pressure Move Most Golfers Miss

by Martin Chuck

 

Most golfers stand over the ball completely static and hope the swing takes care of itself.

In this lesson, I am using an unexpected but simple aid to show the difference between weight and pressure and why that distinction matters more than you think.

You’ll see how a small amount of motion before the swing helps you rotate more freely, get your swing circle forward, and strike the ball more consistently.

This isn’t about positions or mechanics.

It’s about learning how to move athletically before the club ever starts back.

The pitch shot dance: why your feet are the secret to crispy contact

  I've seen this drive good golfers crazy for years. A simple 25-yard pitch and they freeze up, swat at it, and chunk it. The fix is simpler than you think and it starts from the ground up. Get this footwork right and you'll start hitting crispy pitch shots a lot more often. Give this a watch and take it straight to the range.

Make More Breaking Putts by Trusting Your Setup and Stroke

  When it comes to making breaking putts... You could have textbook posture... Laser-like aim... The absolute right line... The ideal stroke path... A smooth, metronome-like tempo... And strike the ball with the perfect speed... BUT... It's all for nothing unless you commit to everything above and TRUST it at the moment of truth. This might sound "obvious," but many golfers do everything right until it's time to pull the putter back and make a stroke. Often, they get scared and "bail out" of the correct line or speed at the last second... Miss the putt... Then beat themselves up for not sticking to their guns.  If you can relate, watch the above video.  It's not a tip on putting technique... But rather an important reminder to COMMIT to the amount of break, shape and speed of the putt you intend to hit... And TRUSTING yourself to execute it. p.s. The device I'm practicing with (because it helps me develop trust) is the Tour Path Putting System.

How to Consistently Hit the Center of Your Driver

  Modern drivers are SO much better than they were even five years ago, but the fact remains: The farther you contact the ball away from the center of the clubface... The less optimal the launch characteristics. That's a nice way of saying the ball probably won't travel as far.   To be sure, there are a LOT of factors at play (launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, etc.) that affect trajectory, carry, roll and overall distance, but... In general, you'll hit your longest drives by hitting the sweet spot.  One popular way to see where you're making contact is to first lightly coat your driver face with sprayable foot powder. Then, when you hit the ball, you can easily see where the ball made contact.  But here is the misconception I see with many students:  When they hit the ball toward the heel, they think they need to move farther away from the ball. (And vice versa when they make contact toward the toe.) The reality is, these "misses" have more to do with getting steep and/or bent arms. But what I really want you to think about first is, "measuring to the ball" to establish a proper and consistent radius.  In the above video, I'll illustrate this using a 48" tall tee, which should really help put this in perspective.And I'll also show you why you should, "build your house first," and "pour the foundation" last. Together, you can start taking full advantage of your driver's "hotspot" and start hitting your longest drives...consistently!
