Want a wedge shot that comes out low, penetrates the wind, and checks up fast on the green? This is the shot. Do you know how to hit the low spinner?

Two keys to hit it:

1️⃣ Get your pressure to your lead side EARLY in the downswing — this delofts the club and compresses the ball instead of scooping it.

2️⃣ Extend through your lead side at impact — this manages the depth of your swing arc so the club doesn’t dig too far into the ground, giving you clean, consistent contact instead of chunky or inconsistent strikes.

Great shot to have in the bag for tucked pins or windy days ⛳️

Comment “PURE” for more video tips to lower your scores. 🏌️‍♂️

Ever catch it fat or thin and have no idea why? It might not be your swing — it might be your sway.

When you slide too far off the ball in the backswing, your low point shifts back with you. That means the club is bottoming out BEHIND the ball instead of right at it — recipe for fat shots and inconsistent contact.

The fix: feel more centered over the ball throughout your swing. Less lateral sway = your low point stays where it belongs = pure contact.

Try feeling “stacked and centered” on your next range session 👇

💬 Comment “BETTER” for more simple tips to help you move better, swing better, and play better golf.

Stop trying to move the golf club—and start thinking about what moves the club.

Your body creates the motion. The club responds.

Think of the golf swing almost like a dance. Your feet interact with the ground, your body responds to those forces, and that energy flows outward into the club.

Force precedes motion.

When you learn to use the ground with your feet and allow your body to move in sequence, the club can start to develop its own natural rhythm and flow.

Try this drill without worrying about positions. Feel your feet. Let your body respond. Allow the club to swing.

Less forcing. More flowing. 🔥

Use the ground ➡️ move the body ➡️ move the club.

💬 Comment “BETTER” for more simple drills to help you improve your swing and shoot lower scores.

Your trail foot can have a BIG influence on how your body moves through the downswing.

Instead of pushing toward the front of your foot and getting up onto your toes, learn to bank the trail foot and apply pressure more laterally.

I made this simple board to give me instant feedback. It helps train the feeling of pushing against the ground in the right direction while allowing the lower body to rotate through.

When the trail foot works correctly, it can help you:

➡️ Use the ground more effectively
➡️ Improve lower-body rotation
➡️ Keep your body from moving toward the ball
➡️ Create a more efficient sequence through impact

Your golf swing starts from the ground up. Train the feet and the rest of the body has a better chance to follow. 👣⛳️

Save this drill and give it a try!

💬 Comment “SLOT” and I’ll send you the link to the Slot Trainer I’m using in this drill.

Casting happens when the wrists unhinge and the club releases too early in the downswing, often causing the clubhead to move away from the body before you’re ready to deliver it into impact.

The Slot Trainer gives you feedback to help keep the trail arm in position longer during transition so you can feel what a properly sequenced downswing should be like.

But the goal isn’t to artificially “hold” the angles.

As you rotate and turn through the downswing, your joints naturally flex, extend and unhinge at the appropriate time—allowing the club to release through impact instead of being thrown from the top.

Think turn first ➡️ maintain structure ➡️ let the club release.

Stop casting. Find the slot. Deliver the club with more consistency. 🎯

Struggling with speed control on the greens?

A follow through that gets too long can make it harder to regulate how much energy you’re actually transferring into the ball.

Instead, feel a slightly longer backstroke with a slightly shorter follow through.

That allows the putter to build energy going back, transfer it into the ball, and then naturally slow down after impact rather than continuing to accelerate well past the strike.

Think:

Longer back ➡️ shorter through ➡️ better speed control.

You don’t need to push the putter toward the hole after impact.

Let the energy go into the ball. 🎯

💬 Comment “PURE” for more simple tips to improve your ball striking and hit more consistent shots.

Are you rotating through the golf ball—or just sliding toward the target?

Too much lateral movement can make it difficult to control your low point and consistently find the center of the face.

Try this simple visual:

Place a club across your hips and make your golf motion. Instead of letting your pelvis simply slide side to side, watch how the club moves when you properly rotate your hips back and through.

The goal is to combine pressure moving forward with rotation, not replace rotation with a slide.

When the pelvis turns, you create room for the club and give your body a better opportunity to sequence through impact.

Less slide. More turn. Better contact. 🎯

💬 Comment “BETTER” if you want more simple tips to improve your ball striking and shoot lower scores.

Struggling to hit your hybrids consistently? Check your ball position first.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is golfers playing the hybrid too far back in their stance.

Move the ball forward of center to help create a more level angle of attack through impact.

When the ball gets too far back, you can create an excessively steep strike, making it much harder to get the launch and contact you want.

Remember: a hybrid is designed to help you get the ball in the air—you don’t need to force it.

Ball forward ➡️ level out the strike ➡️ launch your hybrids higher and more consistently. 🎯

Save this and check your ball position the next time you practice.

💬 Comment “BETTER” if you want simple golf tips to improve your swing and shoot lower scores.

A better downswing starts with what you do going back.

Your backswing should create rotation, depth and a centered turn so your body and club are in a better position to transition into the ball.

Instead of simply lifting the club with your arms, focus on allowing your torso to rotate while maintaining your posture and creating space for the club.

When the backswing gets out of position, you’re often forced to make compensations on the way down—and that’s when contact and direction can become unpredictable.

Build a better backswing ➡️ make fewer compensations ➡️ hit more solid shots. 🎯

Save this and check your backswing the next time you practice.
