Swing Basics: Posture

Posture is a critical swing basic, and you can get a perfect posture every time by using this easy technique to bend from your hip joints and not your spine

Flexibility Increases Clubhead Speed

Flexibility is extremely important to producing distance because you can't hit the ball far if you don't make a full swing, the Speed Stick is a great product to increase your flexibility and can be used anywhere

Reading Greens

Start reading a green as you approach it walking or riding up, read the slope from the low point of the green paying particular attention to the area closer to the hole as the ball is rolling slower and will break more

Under pressure keep it simple and do what you know how to do

Finishing Your Pitch Shot

The most common fault in pitching is taking the club too far back and decelerating on the downswing, practicing how to finish your pitch will solve this problem

Two Approaches to Delivery Position

With a one plane swing you can let the club rip and release right from the top of the downswing as hard as you like, do not create any wrist lag like you would find in a two plane swing.
