“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…
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…
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,…
Is Your Clubface Really Square? Most golfers have no idea where their clubface is pointing during the swing. They make a good move, strike the ball cleanly, and then wonder why the shot starts left or sails right. What they don’t realize is that face angle—not swing path—is often the real culprit. Elite ball-strikers don’t…
The Face Controls the Flight Most golfers think their slice, hook, or push comes from swinging over the top or dropping too far inside. But if you really want to understand your ball flight, you need to look at one thing first: your clubface at impact. The face angle—not the path—is what determines the majority…
Most amateur golfers experience the same miss over and over, yet they chalk it up to “just a bad swing.” In reality, that miss is a symptom — a clue your swing is sending you. The direction, height, and contact quality of your shots can tell you exactly what’s going wrong in your mechanics, from…
If you’ve ever had one great ball-striking day followed by three frustrating ones, you’re not alone. Inconsistency plagues most amateur golfers — not because they lack talent, but because they lack a repeatable swing built on sound fundamentals. The truth is, you don’t need a perfect swing to play great golf. You just need one…
