Daily Video Tips
John's videos are really easy to follow and very well delivered
Excellent tip. Thanks. Heel first. I will try this!
Is the lead heel lift good for clubs other than driver too?
I would say it’s safe to try with 6 iron and up! For the shorter clubs you you want to shift off the ball as much so it will be difficult to lift your heel in the backswing.
I really appreciate this lesson. I don't know if I'm getting maximum extension during my driver backswing or if I'm even lifting my lead foot heel. This drill will remind me to be more conscious of doing this and working on this while practicing. Good stuff John.
Great tip
How about a slightly open stance with the ball aligned a few inches to the right of your left toe area? This seems to provide a very good path down the target line of the putt using no wrist action with the putter. Does anyone use this method?
I can't wait to try this! Thanks
Great visual - helps to build a practise swing routine to cement that motion and weight transfer rhythm. Thanks
