🚨 Your swing might NOT be the problem… your GRIP might be.

The grip controls the clubface. If it’s wrong at setup, you’re already making the swing harder than it needs to be.

✅ Lead hand through the fingers
✅ Heel pad on top
✅ Thumb slightly to the backside
✅ Lead thumb fits into the trail-hand pocket
✅ Trail trigger finger hooks underneath the grip and sits slightly lower than the thumb

Before you change your swing, CHECK YOUR GRIP.

📌 Save this for your next range session and send it to someone who needs a grip check.

🚨 STOP SWAYING YOUR HIPS

If your trail hip starts higher than your lead hip, you’re already making it harder to rotate correctly.

Instead, slightly bump your pelvis toward the target at setup.

This helps your trail hip:
✅ Pivot and turn instead of sway
✅ Create a better weight shift
✅ Stay more centered
✅ Improve contact and consistency

Sometimes the problem isn’t your backswing…

It started before you even moved the club.

Comment “TRAP” for my FREE 3-drill series to STOP coming over the top. 🏌️‍♂️

🚨 Is your trail elbow FLYING at the top?

That elbow getting too far away from your body can make it much easier to get steep in transition, throw the club outside, and come across the ball.

And if you’re fighting SHANKS, pay attention to this one. 👀

📦 Try the Box Drill:

👉 Swing with your trail arm only
👉 Place your lead hand on top of your trail elbow
👉 Let the trail arm stay relaxed and bent coming down
👉 Keep the elbow working in front of you through impact
👉 Let the trail arm straighten AFTER impact

The goal isn’t to pin your elbow to your side.

It’s to teach the trail arm how to fold → shallow → deliver → extend.

Get this sequence right and you’ll have a much better chance of approaching the ball from the inside instead of throwing the club over the top.

Want more speed without swinging harder?

Try this LEAD HEEL STOMP DRILL.

👣 Lift your lead heel at setup
🔄 Keep it UP as you make your backswing
💥 First move down — STOMP it into the ground like you’re smashing a soda can
🚀 Then rotate hard and finish all the way through

That stomp helps you use the ground forces to create better sequencing, rotation, and SPEED.

Stop trying to manufacture speed with your arms.

USE THE GROUND. CREATE THE POWER. 💥

Save this drill and try it next time you’re on the range.

STOP guessing where the ball goes in your stance. 👇

Your ball position should change as the club gets longer—and getting it wrong can completely change your contact, launch, and consistency.

🏌️ Wedges: About 1 clubhead inside the trail foot
🏌️ Mid-Irons: Near the center of your stance
🏌️ Long Irons / Hybrids: About 1 clubhead inside the lead heel
🏌️ Fairway Woods: Slightly farther forward
🏌️ Driver: Just inside the lead heel

Shorter club = farther back.
Longer club = progressively farther forward.

📌 SAVE this reel and use it as your ball-position cheat sheet the next time you practice.

Comment “FLUSH” for my FREE iron compression tips. ⛳️

Want more centered contact with your irons? Start the swing with the handle—not the clubhead.

✅ Handle initiates the takeaway
✅ Chest and arms stay connected
✅ Club stays in front of your body
✅ Less early wrist action
✅ More centered contact + better compression

Feel: Handle moves first → clubhead follows.

Small change in the takeaway. Big difference at impact.

🚫 Stop rushing your transition.

When you get too quick from the backswing into the downswing, the hips often spin instead of shifting, forcing the club out and over the top.

Try this:

🏌️ Complete the backswing
⏱️ Smooth out the transition
➡️ Let the hips shift laterally toward the target
🔄 Then rotate through

That little bit of patience at the top gives your lower body time to sequence properly and helps the club approach the ball from a much better position.

Smooth transition → Shift → Rotate → Better drives.

Comment “CP12” for FREE chipping tips. ⛳️

Topping your chip shots? Your body may be stalling through impact.

The fix:
• Keep your chest and body moving through the shot
• Pivot around your lead hip
• Let the club move with your body—not pass it
• Keep turning all the way into the finish

Body stops = inconsistent contact.
Body turns = cleaner, more predictable chips.

Comment “NV26” for more driving tips. 🚀

Driver impact is NOT iron impact.

With an iron, you’re looking for forward shaft lean and compression.

With the driver:
🏌️‍♂️ Lead arm stays extended through impact
🏌️‍♂️ Avoid excessive forward press/shaft lean
🏌️‍♂️ Keep the upper body behind the ball
🏌️‍♂️ Let the clubhead release through the strike
🏌️‍♂️ Create the conditions to launch it high with low spin

Don’t try to “compress” your driver like an iron.

Different club. Different impact.

Comment “FLUSH” for more ball-striking tips from my Iron Compression Series. 🏌️‍♂️

Too much—or too little—shaft lean at address can make solid contact harder than it needs to be.

• Too far back: Handle behind the ball → adds loft and can lead to inconsistent contact.

• Too far forward: Excessive shaft lean → takes off too much loft and can create unnecessary tension at setup.

• A better checkpoint: The butt end of the club points toward the inside of your lead leg.

Get the handle in a neutral position at address and give yourself a better chance to compress the ball.
