Few swing faults plague amateur golfers as consistently as the over-the-top move. It’s responsible for slices, weak pulls, glancing contact, and frustration that can last for years if left unaddressed. While the term “over the top” is commonly heard on the range, many golfers don’t fully understand what causes it — or how to correct…
Why Ball Position Is Often Overlooked When golfers struggle with putting, they often blame their stroke mechanics or green reading. But one of the most common causes of inconsistent roll, poor distance control, and missed short putts is something much simpler—ball position. Unlike the full swing, where ball position can vary by club and shot…
Every golfer — from weekend amateurs to seasoned professionals — has felt those telltale jitters standing on the first tee. Your heart is racing, your grip tightens, and suddenly your reliable swing feels foreign. It’s completely normal. But the difference between a shaky start and a confident opening shot often comes down to how well…
Improving your golf game isn’t just about swing mechanics and practice reps — the equipment you use plays a huge role in how fast and how far you progress.

They’ll work on neutral hand position, grip pressure, and finger placement—but when it comes to putting, the grip often becomes an afterthought. That’s a mistake. Your putting grip is just as important as your…
One of the most common questions golfers ask is, “How far should I hit my 8 iron?” It sounds simple, but the answer varies widely depending on your skill level, swing speed, contact quality, and even the weather conditions on any given day. There’s no one-size-fits-all number. While one golfer might comfortably hit their 8…
