Why am I shanking the ball, wedges and other irons?
Andrew - this is the visual image I have been missing. At 54 and a 14 handicap, I still struggle with dropping my back shoulder. I never thought of the front shoulder action, correcting this issue. Brilliant visual...its working great!
I'm 86 in very good health but struggling with my shoulder turn and weight rotation with my irons and driver. I don't have the flexibility and balance I used to have and have lost distance and consistency. Any suggestions? Thanks
Great tip! To what extent would "surfing" apply to a driver and/or fairway wood?

I'm having trouble hitting the ball in the middle of the club face with my irons. I tend to hit off the toe. I feel I may be pulling my arms back at the last second at impact. Do you recommend any drills that would help me stop hitting off the toe?Thank
I love this tip Andrew. Almost as much as the video you did last summer on the hips working up and down in succession. Wondering if you could comment on or do a a video on the two together (hips moving up and down along with the surfing).This really helps the lower half. Thanks
Thank You Martin. I've enjoyed your lessons for a couple of years and are always giving me great tools to improve my game. These little differences you point out between right and wrong way to hit the ball make a huge difference in my game. Love these to the point videos.
I am a 63 year old 19 handicapper that has always struggled to get through the ball. I tend to club the ball to death which is sort of effective but not reliable. I would love to be able to have my weight going smoothly through the ball with a nice follow though. HELP!
Cheers
With that move how do you prevent getting too far in front of the ball with your upper body/head
Thanks Andrew
