Daily Video Tips
Great, easy drill - thanks!
This is one of the best tips that immediately fixed my problem of bringing the club inside - my right hand was too dominant - Have had a lot of paid lessons but this is a problem very difficult to see - 1 video worth the entire's year's golf pass subscription.
When freezing the finish how to you guard against stopping the putter head too soon and subsequently leaving puts short?
Hello, I consistently hear tips on striking the ball with a downward contact with irons and ascending contact with the driver. What do you recommend with a 3-wood or fairway wood off the tee and off the fairway?
Fairway woods are struck with a slight downward angle. Driver is the only club struck best with an ascending blow..
Thanks Eric for reminding me of this technique. I have been frustrated by my driver for quite a while, what with medical issues and Covid Lockdowns (downunder in Australia) things have gone a bit haywire. With what you have suggested I have found the initial bump of the left hip towards the target encourages keeping the back towards the target a little longer and dropping the club on the inside track. I'll have this in my mind when I play golf tomorrow.
Awesome tip!
I believe this will help me since I have a tendency to lean forward afterwards, almost chasing the ball. Thank you Mr. Hall and have a great week!
Great reminder!
Love golf pass instruction! So good…
I have been doing this for a couple of months. The only problem I have with it is that when I move up to the ball, I sometimes end up on a different line. I now set up to the ball and then pull the putter between my toes and the ball. I take my practice swing there and then slide the putter back behind the ball. I no longer change my target line. Is there a reason to not do this?
Only if it doesn't work......
