Bending your right arm too much in the backswing? 🏌️‍♂️

You don’t need an expensive training aid to work on it — all you need is a shoelace.

Here’s the drill 👇

Tie the shoelace around your right thumb and hold the other end with your left hand against your sternum.

As you swing the club back, keep the shoelace tight.

✅ String stays tight = right arm stays wider and straighter
❌ String goes loose = right arm is bending too much

It’s a simple way to FEEL the correct movement without spending money on another training aid.

Start with slow practice swings, then gradually introduce the ball.

Want to make a swing change?

One of the biggest mistakes I see golfers make is trying to change their swing by hitting ball after ball at full speed.

A better way is to slow everything down.

Start with practice swings without a ball and exaggerate the movement you’re trying to change.

For me, my right arm can bend too much in the backswing, so I practise feeling like my right arm stays a little straighter going back.

Then I’ll hit some shots at half to three-quarter speed and see if I can recreate that same feeling with a ball.

Swing changes take time. You’re not going to fix 10,000 old repetitions with 10 new ones.

Slow it down. Get the movement right. Build the repetitions. Then add speed.

BALL BELOW YOUR FEET? DON’T MAKE THESE MISTAKES 👇⛳️

Sloping lies can be tricky, but getting the setup right makes a huge difference.

When the ball is below your feet, remember these 3 things:

1️⃣ Get lower — widen your stance slightly and squat down so you can reach the level of the ball.

2️⃣ Aim a little left — the ball will naturally want to curve left to right, so allow for it.

3️⃣ Control the swing — use a half to three-quarter swing. Contact is more important than trying to hit it at full speed.

HOW FAR SHOULD YOU STAND FROM THE BALL? 🏌️‍♂️

I get asked this all the time during lessons.

Here’s a quick little trick to find the right distance 👇

Hold your hand out with your palm facing away from you. Place your thumb against your groin and let your little finger extend away from your body.

Now grab your club and place the butt end of the grip against your little finger.

That gives you a great reference for how far to stand from the ball.

From there, let your arms hang naturally, grip the club and swing.

No reaching. No getting cramped. Just a balanced setup that gives your arms room to swing.

Everyone talks about Scottie Scheffler’s fancy footwork, the shuffle and what his feet are doing through impact.

But look at something even more important — how stable and square that clubface is.

From halfway down in the downswing, through impact, and all the way until the club exits under his left armpit, there’s no big flip and no excessive rotation of the clubface.

That stability is a huge reason why he can control the ball so consistently.

If you’re struggling with your ball striking or clubface control:

Downhill lies — do you know how to play them? ⛳️

The first thing you need to get right is your setup.

You need to understand where the low point of your swing is going to be and how the slope will affect the ball flight.

And this is not a shot where you need a full swing.

On a downhill lie, balance is harder to maintain, so I prefer a half to three-quarter swing with control.

A few keys:
🏌️ Get your setup matching the slope
🏌️ Understand where your low point is
🏌️ Expect the ball to launch lower
🏌️ Use a controlled half to three-quarter swing
🏌️ Allow for the ball to run more after landing
