Back
Daily Video Tips are a pillar of GolfPass instruction that date back to our days as Revolution Golf (if you know, you know). These easily-digestible tips, usually 2 to 4 minutes long, cover all aspects of the game from a variety of voices, including world-famous golf instructors and Rory McIlroy and other touring pros.
Need to finally fix your slice? There's a tip for that. Want to stop blading your chip shots? Tip for that. Need more distance? You'd better believe there are plenty of tips for that. Our archive of more than 1,500 of these expert golf instruction tips is a fantastic resource for all golfers who want to constantly improve their game.
This year, we are unveiling our inaugural Golfers' Choice list of the best Daily Video Tips from the past year. GolfPass members and countless other curious golfers helped create this ranking through what they watched and how they engaged with hundreds of tips we produced and published throughout the year.
To find the best of the best, we used a formula that factored in likes, comments and total views on every tip on GolfPass in 2025. That equates to approximately a 50-percent impact from the number of likes versus 25 percent from comments and views, respectively. We are proud to add this new franchise of content to Golfers' Choice 2026.
Besides this ranking of the 10 best tips, we have also created top-10 lists in four different categories - driving, iron play (ball-striking), short game and putting. Obviously, the top 10 tips in this article will rank highly in these other categories. Wise golfers will use our 40 best golf instruction tips from 2025 featured in all five articles to improve their games from tee to green in 2026.
We noticed some trends in compiling the lists. GolfPass instructors Randall Hunt and Carolin Pinegger were fan favorites in 2025. The two of them combined to have 21 of the top 30 tips in the final rankings. Some of their main focal points include improving ball-striking and hitting the ball farther.
I will admit I am quite proud of our viewers. A putting tip made it into the top 8! Putting tips are usually neglected for the flashier "how to hit it far" tips ... but not entirely! They do say "Drive for show, putt for dough," after all.
To put it simply, these were the best golf instruction tips we created, and you loved, in 2025. Any or all of them can help you play better golf in 2026.

9. Fix your fairway woods
Fairway wood off the deck tips are less common than other shot types. Perhaps that is why so many members engaged with this "helpful but also fun!" noodle drill from Aimee Cho.

8. Fix your putter path
Randall resonated with our members with this simple tip to improve your putter position at address. One of the over 20 comments on the video came from Brian W.: "This is a great tip. Over the years I've tried all kinds of ways to improve my putting, with the result that my stance and set up has all kinds of moving parts - more of an awkward camel than a sleek race horse. This gives me a good visual to use all the time."

6. The ultimate chipping system
Three ball positions and three hand placements for a total of nine different shots around the green. Members were intrigued enough with this tip that one asked "Carolin, how from the hole can this chipping system work from?"
Coach Carolin responded saying, "Hey Jack, so it works well up to about 60 yards with the higher softer shots but of course gets a bit more challenging as then the "y" will need to get a bit more lose during the backswing but needs to return to that position at impact. The longer the swing gets the more challenging it gets. But anything just off the greens is the simplest to start with."

5. Utilize the bounce
Aimee Cho's "Aimeefied" tips always pique the interest of viewers. Her tip explaining bounce, an often confusing element of wedges, was no exception. James B. commented, "Aimee, You are a joy to watch. You are always so cheerful. Also, the instruction you provide is always so simple and well explained. I look forward to your videos. Many thanks."

"This video is very simple and common sensical, which makes it very easy to understand. I went to the range yesterday after watching it and immediately put it to work. It definitely helped me and I will continue to use this going forward to eliminate the dreaded "wrist flip". Thanks for presenting this in a new way, which is easy to understand and very instructive - well done!"
