Your Right Elbow Can Fix Your Golf Swing

Mike — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:39:23 +0000

I’ve always had the approach that you need to get to the root cause of a swing fault to fix it permanently. For a right hander, this may very well be your elbow motion that’s causing your inconsistency and lack of distance.

Learning how your joints and body move correctly through your golf swing will give you a complete understanding of how to make a near perfect golf swing.

In my opinion, the right elbow is over-active in most golfers, especially ones that shoot in the 90’s and up into the 100’s. So we’ve got to get you to understand this better, to prevent any future mishits and swing faults.

I’ve put together a golf video, and mammoth article for you to really understand this, so click on the image below, to watch the video and check out all the illustrations on that page.

Here’s How Your Hands Release In Your Golf Swing

Mike — Tue, 08 May 2012 18:15:21 +0000

I’ve been getting emails lately from golfers who are not hitting the ball very well, and want to know how to release their hands in the golf swing. This is a great question, and one that when answered, and you apply it, will change your game forever!

Common Fault

The most common fault with high handicap golfers is the flip. That is where you flip your hands adding loft to your club, and creating a dangerous situation in regards to contact with the ball.

Sometimes you’ll hit it thin. Other times you’ll hit it fat. You’ll also have off-center hits which will take a ton of yards off your distance, as well as never fly straight.

The Fix

I’ve put together a mammoth article, with a video and pictures to really help you fully understand the release. If after you watch the video and read the article you’re still confused, I’ll be shocked, as I spell it out for you.

Seniors Golfers: Watch This Video

Mike — Fri, 04 May 2012 00:21:30 +0000

I receive emails every week from senior golfers who are frustrated at their lack of distance. Most of them are not enjoying the game anymore. It’s no fun to hit it 180 yards. Getting a par is almost impossible, so every hole is best-case a bogey.

I feel your pain!

But…like I’ve been saying for over 11 years now.

“Look in the mirror for the answer”.

I’ve put together a golf video to improve your posture that I want you to watch if you struggle to make a full backswing. This is the answer to your problems I promise you!

I’ve gotten a few emails from golfers who want to know how to rotate through impact better. I’ve put together a golf hip stretch to improve your rotation through your swing. Many older golfers may or may not realize the accumulated physical decline of flexibility in joints, especially the hips. The ONLY way to improve this is with golf-specific stretches targeting the area of deficiency. We’ve done that here, with this golf stretch video.

Get Width In Your Golf Swing

Mike — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:11:26 +0000

Got an email from a golfer last week wanting more width in his golf swing. He saw his swing on video, and actually sent me a still pic, and I could see his issue. You need to realize width in your golf swing will give you more swing speed, power and ultimately distance. Take a look at this golf exercise, and do it regularly, and you’ll see more width and power.

This golf exercise was taken out of my 3 Minutes For 30 Days Golf Training ebook.
