The Challenge of Wet Lies Every golfer knows the uneasy feeling of walking up to a short game shot and seeing water glistening off the grass — or worse, the ball sitting half-buried in mud. These types of lies are among the most difficult in golf because they take away your margin for error. One…
Every golfer wants to hit longer drives — but swinging harder isn’t the answer. If you want to gain serious yardage off the tee without losing control, you need to develop explosiveness — the ability to generate maximum power in a short burst. It’s the secret behind those effortless-looking 300-yard bombs you see on tour….
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 many golfers focus on grip, stance, or takeaway, the ability to stay in your spine angle from setup through impact plays a massive role in how well you control the clubface, your swing path, and ultimately your…
