A poor release can cost you far more than just distance. It can lead to inconsistent strikes, loss of power and that dreaded chicken wing through impact.

This simple drill using an inflatable ball between your forearms encourages your arms and body to work together through the hitting area. It helps you release the club naturally, maintain better extension after impact and avoid the lead arm folding too early.

Simple drills like this provide instant feedback and are a great way to build the correct movement pattern.

Wrist hinge might seem like a small part of the golf swing, but it has a huge impact on everything that follows.

Without a proper wrist hinge, many golfers create a flat takeaway, making the club work too far behind them. To make the backswing feel longer, the body often over-rotates, which can lead to an overswing and a whole chain of compensations on the way back down.

The result? Loss of power, inconsistent strikes, early casting, heavy contact and poor clubface control.

A good wrist hinge creates leverage, helps the club stay in a better position throughout the backswing and makes it much easier to deliver the club consistently at impact.

Sometimes the biggest improvements don’t come from swinging harder, they come from getting the fundamentals right.

Your lead wrist has one of the biggest influences on the clubface throughout the golf swing.

If your lead wrist is cupped, the clubface will tend to be more open. If it’s bowed, the face will tend to be more closed. Get the wrist in a stronger position and you’ll find it much easier to return the clubface square at impact.

The important thing is understanding what your lead wrist is doing and how it’s influencing your ball flight. If you struggle with slices, pulls or inconsistent strikes, this could be the missing piece.

You don’t need to completely rebuild your swing. Sometimes a small change to your lead wrist can make a huge difference to your clubface control and consistency.

One of the biggest causes of inconsistent ball striking is excessive sway away from the target during the backswing.

A simple way to improve this is by placing a yoga wedge under the outside of your trail foot. This banks the foot slightly inwards, making it much easier to load into your trail side without allowing your body to drift off the ball.

The result?
🏌️ More centred turn
🏌️ Better pressure into the ground
🏌️ More consistent low point
🏌️ Cleaner, more solid strikes

It’s a simple training aid that provides instant feedback and helps you feel the difference between turning and swaying.

If you’re struggling with heavy shots or feel like you’re casting the club from the top, give this drill a go.

Place a yoga wedge just behind the golf ball. The goal is to miss the wedge on the way into impact. If you cast the club early and lose your wrist hinge, you’ll hit the wedge before the ball.

This gives you instant feedback and encourages you to retain your wrist angles for longer, delivering the club more efficiently into impact. The result? Cleaner strikes, better compression and far fewer heavy shots.

It’s a simple drill, but the feedback is immediate and can make a huge difference to the quality of your ball striking.

One of the most misunderstood parts of a golf club is the lie angle.

A lot of golfers think it only affects how the club sits at address, but it can actually influence where your golf ball starts.

If your clubs are too upright, the toe sits up at impact and the face effectively points left of the target (for a right-handed golfer). If they’re too flat, the toe sits down and the face points more to the right.

If you’re constantly finding your shots start left or right of your target, your swing might not be the problem. Your lie angle could be.

The key thing to remember is that lie angle mainly influences the start direction, not the curve of the shot. The curve is still created by the relationship between the clubface and your swing path.

This is why getting your clubs fitted, or at least checking your dynamic lie angle, can make a huge difference to your consistency.

Have you ever had your lie angles checked?
