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…
“Staying connected” is one of those terms that gets tossed around a lot in golf instruction — but few golfers fully understand what it means or how to actually achieve it. At its core, connection means that your arms, club, and torso are working together as one unit. The arms don’t swing independently of the…
Why This Combo Is So Coveted If you’ve ever wondered how pros hit long, soaring drives that land softly and run forever, the answer usually lies in one key formula: high launch with low spin. This isn’t just for the long drive guys—it’s a fundamental truth of modern golf ball flight. When you launch the…
Every golfer wants more distance. And while it’s tempting to swing harder, speed doesn’t come from effort alone. The longest hitters on Tour—and the longest hitters at your local course—know how to use ground forces, timing, and body mechanics to generate explosive clubhead speed. If you’re stuck at the same swing speed despite strength gains…
Ever hit what felt like the perfect swing—only to chunk the ball a few feet or blade it over the green? You’re not alone. Most golfers make pitching harder than it has to be. The real problem isn’t your swing speed or your wedge. It’s that you’re not using the bounce on your club correctly….
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. But here’s the good news: many of the bunker and hazard rules…
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…
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 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…
There’s nothing more frustrating than hitting a beautiful drive and approach, only to chunk or blade a short pitch and throw away your chance at par. These pitch shots—from 20 to 60 yards—should be your scoring bread and butter. But for many golfers, they’re a constant source of stress. The good news? If you’re chunking…
