Most golfers talk about weight transfer in the golf swing, but what you’re actually feeling under your feet is a change in pressure — and understanding the difference can completely change how you move through the ball.

In this drill, I use a simple step to exaggerate the pressure shift and help you learn how to move dynamically through the shot, rather than simply swaying your weight from side to side.

This is a clip from my Compress the Ball in 7 Days course, where I break down the key movements that help you improve your strike and compress the ball more consistently.

The secret to quality bunker shots is understanding how the clubface works through impact.

Good bunker players don’t simply open the face at address and try to hold it there throughout the swing.

1️⃣ Start with the face open
Expose the loft and bounce at address to help the club move through the sand.

2️⃣ Let it square through impact
Allow the wedge to release naturally, with the toe catching up to the heel through the strike.

3️⃣ Maintain the loft through
As the club exits, keep the loft on the face with the clubface looking back towards you into the finish.

The goal isn’t to aggressively roll the hands — it’s to allow the wedge to release while maintaining the loft needed for a high, soft bunker shot.

🎯 Tour-style technique = Tour-style results

Want to hit better drives? Here are 3 things I focus on to create speed without losing control 👇

1️⃣ Create width in the backswing
Give your arms space to swing and create room to generate speed.

2️⃣ Complete a full turn
Give yourself time to wind up to full power rather than rushing the transition.

3️⃣ Accelerate into the finish
Commit to the shot while maintaining the balance and control needed to finish the swing properly.

You don’t need to swing out of your shoes to create speed — build a powerful motion and let the speed happen through the ball.

🎯 Better Motion = Better Drives

Want to hit more par 3 greens? Good decisions before you swing can make a big difference 👇

1️⃣ Know your carry numbers
Know how far each club actually flies — especially when you need to carry water, bunkers or other trouble short of the green.

2️⃣ Factor in the conditions
Wind, temperature and elevation can all change how far the shot actually plays.

3️⃣ Don’t fight your natural shape
Build your strategy around the shot shape you can repeat rather than trying to manufacture a different one.

4️⃣ Take enough club
Give yourself enough club to make a committed swing rather than trying to force a shorter one.

Par 3s are about more than making a good swing — get the number right, choose the right shot and then commit to it.

Can’t stop slicing the ball? Try this simple alignment-stick drill 👇

Position an alignment stick on an angle above the ball, leaving enough room for the club to swing underneath.

If the club moves over the top in transition, you’ll hit the stick.

The goal is to make short, slow swings and learn how your body and club need to move to approach the ball more from the inside.

✅ Start with short swings
✅ Keep the speed slow
✅ Swing underneath the stick
✅ Gradually build towards a full swing

The stick gives you instant feedback — get steep and across it and you’ll know straight away.

Start slowly and give yourself plenty of clearance until you’re comfortable with the drill.
