In this tip, Martin Chuck brings out an old piece of farming equipment to help you feel the proper clubface rotation through impact. Use this visual to free up your golf swing and start striking the ball better.

Daily Video Tips
Outstanding tip… you do make it simple and understandable… you are the best of instructors… have been watching for the past several years and you have helped.. thanks.
Francis, thanks for the kind words.
Is there a sense of having the ball on the club face for a 'fraction' of time--something between releasing the toe past the heal and keeping the the club going to the target, thanks
A solid shot feels like there is a dwell time. In actuality, the ball is gone in 1/2000 of a second. We feel the shaft the clubhead/shaft vibrations.
Love this exercise!
This is a really good visualization tip that I've never seen in a golf video before. Helps even those of us who are not beginners but sometimes struggle. I would summarize the tip as "Don't Fear the Reaper." :-)
Hi Martin, I really like your tip on full follow through which I’ve employed to some success. However, is there a drill to learn how to keep my hands less active - I tend to turn my right hand over too much through impact and my ball flight seems to always go left
Hello Jack, rotation of the club face and body have to occur. It’s a matter when that happens. Hands are active, we just don’t want them rotating the face excessively prior to contact, sending the ball left. This action can occur milliseconds later so you don’t miss left.
I can’t hit my irons. And if I do make what feels like good contact, I’m hitting almost all of the irons the same, low distance…
Hello Susan, it sounds as though your club is delivered to steeply, down onto the ball. The more you hit down, the lower you hit it. Try and get the club to approach the ball shallowly and from the inside
Martin, my follow through problem is rolling my right forearm/hand over my left. When I don’t time it perfectly, the club face is closed at impact and I hit a shot that starts on target and then hooks 30 yards left. This problem is killing my mid-iron approach and par 3 tee shots
That face can work just fine, but the rotation needs to happen later so the face is a little more square, rather than closed when presented to the ball.
