How Swing Direction Affects Face-to-Path and Start Line

You Can Have a Neutral Path and Still Miss Target One of the most frustrating things in golf is making a swing that feels perfect—on plane, balanced, and solid—only to watch the ball start in the wrong direction and curve more than expected.

Pitch Shot Practice Routines to Improve Touch and Distance Control

From 20 to 60 yards out, you’re not trying to bomb the ball—you’re trying to finesse it. These pitch shots are about precision, not power. Yet most golfers hit them with guesswork, not a plan. That leads to chunked shots, bladed wedges, and too many missed up-and-down opportunities. If you want to get the ball…

Few places on the golf course stir up more anxiety than bunkers and penalty areas. Whether it’s a tricky greenside sand shot or a ball that trickled into a water hazard, these areas challenge your skill — and your knowledge of the rules.

How to Master Distance Control on Long Putts (Stop 3-Putting)

Why Long Putts Kill Your Score If you’re tired of 3-putting, the fix probably isn’t a new putter—it’s learning how to control distance better. Long putts—20 feet and out—don’t need to drop to be effective. They just need to stop close enough for you to clean up with confidence. The problem is, most golfers don’t…

How to Master the Transition in Your Golf Swing

The transition — that brief moment when your swing changes direction from backswing to downswing — is one of the most misunderstood and mistimed parts of the golf swing. Yet, it’s also one of the most important. A clean, well-sequenced transition creates the foundation for everything that follows: shallowing the club, generating lag, syncing body…

Launch Angle vs Angle of Attack: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters

Launch Angle Isn’t Just About Loft Many golfers hear terms like “launch angle” and “angle of attack” and assume they mean the same thing—or that both are just about hitting up or down. But that’s only part of the story. Launch angle and angle of attack are two very different measurements, and both play a…
