WHY YOU TOP IT ❌

A lot of golfers stand too far from the ball without realizing it.

Here’s a simple setup check:

• Place a club shaft just under your armpit
• Let it hang naturally toward the ground
• The shaft should point around your kneecaps and the balls of your feet

If it hangs well outside your toes, you’re likely standing too far away and making it harder to strike the ball consistently.

Better setup = better contact.

Try this before your next round and see how much cleaner you hit it.

Most golfers ruin their backswing in the first 18 inches. ❌

Try the 2 O’Clock Takeaway Drill ⏰

• The ball is 12 o’clock
• Your toe line is 3 o’clock
• Feel the club move to 2 o’clock during the takeaway
• Keep your hands under your chin
• Add a vertical hinge
• Keep your arms in front of your chest
• Maintain the connection between your lead bicep and lead pec

Why does it work?

As your chest continues to rotate, that 2 o’clock feel naturally moves the club to 3 o’clock. This helps prevent the club from getting trapped behind you and keeps your backswing more connected and on plane.

📌 Save this for your next range session.

Stop throwing the club over the top. ❌

Try the Box Drill.

Keep your lead arm over your trail elbow, keep that trail elbow tucked, and turn your chest all the way through the shot.

This trains the club to shallow, improves sequencing, and helps you compress the ball without the over-the-top move.

Hit 20-30 shots like this, then blend the same feeling into your full swing.

💬 Comment “FLUSH” and I’ll send you another one of my favorite compression drills.

Most golfers try to fix their full swing with more full swings. ❌

Instead, start here.

Place a ball between your arms and hit short punch shots. This teaches your arms and body to work together, improves your impact alignments, and helps eliminate the flip.

Once you can consistently strike these shots solid, gradually make the swing longer while keeping the same feeling.

Don’t build a better backswing.

Build a better impact position first. 🔥

📌 Save this for your next range session.

Most golfers flip the club through impact and add loft at the worst possible time. ❌

Try this drill:

Place a Velcro hand paddle on the back of your trail hand and keep the paddle facing the target through impact.

This helps keep your trail wrist flat, prevents the flip, and teaches the proper impact alignments for more compression, better contact, and lower ball flight. 🔥

Start with small punch shots and gradually build speed.

The goal isn’t more effort…
It’s better impact.

Most golfers drive their trail knee toward the golf ball ❌

That move pushes pressure into the toes, causes early extension, and makes solid contact harder.

Instead👇

✅ Drive off the instep of your trail foot✅ Let your trail knee move toward your lead knee✅ Shift pressure toward the target before you rotate✅ Stay in posture and compress the golf ball

A simple feel that can improve contact, sequencing, and consistency.

Most golfers practice technique…

But never practice landing zones.

✅ Place 5 alignment sticks on the ground
✅ Space them about 1 pace apart
✅ Pick a target and “point and shoot”
✅ Focus on where the ball lands, not where it finishes

The goal is simple:

🎯 See it.
🎯 Land it.
🎯 Trust it.

Keep checking your target before every shot and avoid freezing over the ball.

Good short game players don’t think more…

They commit more.

One of my favorite drills for training swing path and learning how the trail arm should work through impact.

Great feel for golfers that:

* come over the top
* get steep
* swing too far out
* struggle with path control

Feel the trail arm work more under and around you instead of throwing out toward the ball.

Simple drill. Powerful feedback.

Most golfers stand up through impact…

Then the chest lifts, the trail shoulder works out, and the club exits too high.

A simple rehearsal:
Put a club across your chest and make slow swings feeling the trail shoulder work underneath the chin while staying in posture.

Through impact and into the finish, the club should point more down the fairway and toward the ground…

Not straight up to the sky.

This is a great way to train posture, rotation, and better extension through the ball without flipping or early extending.

Most golfers lose posture and stand up through impact…

Then the trail shoulder works out instead of under.

One of my favorite feels is using a workout band under the ball of the trail foot and pulling into the finish position.

Feel the chest stay down while the trail shoulder moves underneath the chin.

You should feel side bend and rotation together… not standing up and backing away from the ball.

This is a great drill if you struggle with early extension, getting stuck, or losing posture through impact.
