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…
Curvature Is Not an Accident If you’ve ever asked, “Why did that ball curve so much?” or “How do pros hit the same draw over and over?”, the answer almost always comes back to face-to-path. Curvature isn’t random. It’s not about holding off the finish or “releasing the hands” at the right time. Every fade,…
Not every golfer should play the course the same way — and not every low score is the result of better swings. Your scoring mindset shapes how you approach risk, recover from mistakes, and build momentum across 18 holes. Some players thrive on taking chances. Others score better by keeping things simple. The key is…
Pressure Is Part of the Game Every round of golf includes a pressure putt. A must-make for par. A short putt to save a great hole. A final-hole putt to break 90, 80, or 100. These moments create tension, even for experienced players. Your hands tighten. Your thoughts speed up. You feel the weight of…
