YOU’RE TRYING TO FIX EARLY EXTENSION THE WRONG WAY. 🚨

Everyone talks about “creating space” by rotating the hips harder.

But simply trying to spin your hips isn’t the answer.

To create space, you need to understand how you interact with the ground.

Think about jumping: you have to push down to go up, and push forward to move backwards.

In the golf swing, that means learning to use toe-to-heel pressure, or anterior-to-posterior force, effectively.

👉 Apply force through the front of the foot
👉 Push into the ground
👉 Use that force to move the pelvis back and create space

The pelvis moving away from the ball is an outcome of how you apply force, not something you should manufacture by simply trying to rotate harder.

Push forward to go backwards

Regulate swing plane and attack angle for short game mastery!

08/09/2026

The number one word in golf should be: REGULATE. 🎯

Golf isn’t about finding one technique and using it for every shot. It’s about having the skill to regulate your movement based on the problem in front of you.

Buried lie in the rough? I’m steep, aggressive and using minimal follow-through.

One foot away, uphill and into the grain? I’m almost making a shallow, full-swing motion just to move the ball a tiny distance.

Same golfer. Completely different solutions.

That’s the secret to becoming a better player.

Stop being pigeonholed into generic tips and “perfect technique.” Develop your ability to problem solve, experiment and regulate.

The golf course gives you a different problem every shot.

🚨 HITTING IT FAT? “STEEP” MIGHT NOT BE THE PROBLEM.

A lot of golfers immediately blame attack angle when they hit behind the ball.

“I’m too steep.”

But a steep attack angle isn’t necessarily the issue. Excessive depth can be.

Watch what happens here 👀

My knees buckle, my body drops excessively, and suddenly I’ve created far too much vertical depth through the strike. The club reaches the ground too early, hello, fat shot.

The dangerous part? You can get away with this on a range mat. The club bounces, the ball still flies, and you think the strike was acceptable.

Take that same movement onto grass and the ground exposes it immediately. 🌱

Stop automatically trying to “shallow” everything.

Sometimes you don’t need to change the attack angle , you need to control your depth.

🚨

“Get your weight forward” might be one of the most misunderstood pieces of advice in golf.

The problem? Golfers often interpret it as throwing their entire body mass toward the target.

That can create excessive shaft lean, a steep delivery, too much downward strike and poor face control, a recipe for low-quality contact and inconsistent driver launch.

The better concept:

Get PRESSURE forward while your body mass largely stays behind the golf ball.

Pressure and mass are NOT the same thing.

Learning to push into the lead side without simply lunging your body forward gives you a much better opportunity to:
• Manage your low point
• Release the club effectively
• Control the clubface
• Create speed without excessive shaft lean

Especially with driver, we’re chasing an efficient launch condition: HIGH LAUNCH + LOW SPIN. 🚀

VERTICAL FORCE ISN’T JUST ABOUT SPEED , IT’S ABOUT STRIKE. ⚡️⛳️

A pattern I see in a lot of talented juniors is excessive right-side bend, often developed from strong grips and learning to hook the ball to manufacture distance.

That might work when you’re young. But as you develop, the pattern needs to evolve.

A more neutral grip, combined with learning how to properly use the ground, can give you a much better platform to produce vertical force at the right time.

Why does that matter?

Vertical force can help you:
• Stabilise swing direction
• Control where the club hits the ground
• Create better strike conditions
• And ultimately access more of your speed and power

The answer isn’t always to swing harder or add more side bend.

Learn to use the ground. Create force. Then learn to direct that force efficiently.

One of the strangest things about golf is that the second we put a static ball in front of someone, they suddenly forget how to be an athlete.

The feet stop working.
The body becomes rigid.
The sequence disappears.

Yet put that same person in a situation where the ball is moving : throwing, catching, hitting a tennis ball , and suddenly their footwork frees up, pressure shifts naturally and their sequencing can look elite.

Why?

Because they’re reacting like an athlete, not trying to manufacture positions.

Golfers have been scared of movement for far too long.

Step. Shift. Push. Brake. React.

Don’t be afraid to explore movement and occasionally hit a bad shot while learning.

That’s a much better option than spending the rest of your golfing life hitting it terribly because you were too scared to move.

🚨 WELCOME TO “TEMPO TOWN” 🚨

Social media has created an obsession with golf swings that look smooth, pretty and effortless on the driving range.

But here’s the problem…

Smooth doesn’t automatically mean fast. And if you constantly train slow, don’t be surprised when you hit it shorter.

There is absolutely a time to move slowly. When you’re working with a coach on an intricate movement, you need awareness of where the club and body are positioned. Slow, deliberate rehearsals can be incredibly valuable.

But once the goal changes to SPEED, the training has to change too.

Think about the gym. 💪

If you want to become stronger or more explosive, you eventually have to push the boundaries of what you can currently do.

Golf is no different.

Want more clubhead speed?
⚡️ Swing faster.
⚡️ Be aggressive.
⚡️ Push beyond your comfortable speed.
⚡️ Give your body a reason to adapt.

You don’t create a new physical capacity by staying comfortable.

A lot of amateur golfers get confused about how pressure actually shifts in the golf swing.

The key question isn’t simply, “Do I move into my trail side?” It’s when do better players begin to recenter, how much pressure shifts, and within what parameters?

Better players typically move pressure into the trail foot early, but they also begin shifting pressure back toward the lead side before the backswing is finished.

That early recentering is a huge part of creating an efficient sequence.

This stick drill gives the player a clear constraint: shift pressure without allowing the pelvis to simply slide laterally.

Learn to move pressure, create a braking force, recenter early and then use the ground to produce speed.

SKILLS ARE TRANSFERABLE FROM SPORT TO SPORT 🥏➡️🏌️‍♂️

There’s a reason good coaches often ask a new client: “What other sports have you played?”

Movement skills transfer.

In this case, throwing a frisbee with your lead arm can replicate a lot of the footwork, pressure shift and sequencing we see when hitting a driver.

You load, shift, brake, push and allow the body to organise itself around the task, with the motion naturally working a little more upward, just like we want with driver.

Sometimes the best way to improve your golf swing isn’t to think more about your golf swing.

Give the body a task it already understands.
