Your setup should change as the club gets longer โ›ณ๏ธ

Hereโ€™s my simple guide for a right-handed golfer:

๐ŸŒ๏ธ Mid to short irons
โ€ข Ball around the middle of your stance
โ€ข Spine fairly level โ€” no leaning away from the target
โ€ข Around 55โ€“60% of your weight on your lead side

๐ŸŒ๏ธ As the club gets longer
โ€ข Let the ball move gradually forward in your stance

๐Ÿš€ Driver
โ€ข Weight roughly 50/50
โ€ข Just 3โ€“5ยฐ of spine tilt away from the target
โ€ข For a draw, try the ball a few inches inside your lead heel
โ€ข For a fade, try it at your lead heel or slightly farther forward

With every club, hinge from your hips and set the handle opposite the inside of your lead thigh.

๐Ÿ”ฅ YOUR GRIP COULD BE COSTING YOU SPEED & STRIKE!

For a right-handed golfer, your left-hand grip is HUGE ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Heel pad ON TOP of the grip
๐ŸคŒ Grip it more in the fingers โ€” not the palm
โšก This allows the wrists to hinge correctly
๐Ÿš€ Better hinge = more potential SPEED
๐ŸŽฏ And more control = better STRIKING & PRECISION

A small grip change can have a massive influence on how the club moves.

๐ŸŽฏ STOP PULLING YOUR CHIP SHOTS LEFT

My online client this morning was struggling with short-to-medium chips starting left.

His setup? โœ…
Backswing? โœ…
The problem was the through-swing.

The club was exiting sharply left, causing the clubface to close through impact.

SIMPLE 2-ROD DRILL ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŒ๏ธ Rod 1: Start-line reference towards the target.
๐ŸŒ๏ธ Rod 2: Match the shaft plane at address, target-side of the ball.

The goal: let the club glide up the plane through impact, rather than disappearing left.

โžก๏ธ Better path
โžก๏ธ Neutral clubface
โžก๏ธ Better start line
โžก๏ธ More consistent contact

โžก๏ธ How to Play a Downhill Lie:

โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ Club Choice: Take a little more loft โ€” the ball will come out lower and run forward when it lands.

โ€ข ๐ŸŽฏ Aim Slightly Left: Because of the slope, the ball tends to leak right โ€” adjust your alignment before you swing.

โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ Match Your Shoulders to the Slope: Tilt your body so your shoulders run down the hill โ€” not level. This helps match the swing arc to the ground.

โ€ข ๐ŸŒ๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Ball Position: Slightly back of centre for clean contact.

โ€ข ๐Ÿš€ Feel Like You Chase the Ball Down the Slope: Let the club follow the slope after impact โ€” donโ€™t try to lift it.

โ€ข ๐ŸŽฏ Strike Is Everything: ANY lifting or early extension risks catching the top of the ball (hello low bullet ๐Ÿ™ˆ). Commit and glide the club through.
