🎯 Comment STRIKE for my free video course to help you strike the ball better without overhauling your swing.

Thin, weak, no compression? It’s usually not your hands — it’s this.

Most golfers try to fix a compression problem at the bottom, with the hands, when the actual cause is up top in transition. If the upper body hangs back while the lower body drives forward, you’ve lost compression before the club’s even halfway down — no amount of hand manipulation saves it from there.

Sort the sequence and the strike sorts itself.

If you pull it or slice it, there’s a good chance you’re spinning out.

Spinning out is when your body opens up too early, before you’ve shifted towards the target. The club gets thrown across you — and you’re left pulling it or slicing it.

What you want instead is a shift towards the target first, then the turn. Lower body leads, and now you can swing out to the right and hit a draw.

The drill: normal setup, bring your lead foot next to your trail foot, make your backswing, then step back towards the target and slightly in towards the ball. The step to the target trains the shift. The step in delays your body opening up so the shift comes before the turn.

Do it without a ball first to feel it, then hit shots. One crucial bit — set up a little further from the ball than usual, so you’ve got room to step in without catching it out the heel.

Spinning out is when your body opens up too early, before you’ve shifted towards the target. The club gets thrown across you — and you’re left pulling it or slicing it.

What you want instead is a shift towards the target before the body turns. That stops you opening up too early.

The drill: take your normal setup, bring your lead foot next to your trail foot, make your backswing, then step back towards the target and slightly in towards the ball. The step towards the target trains the shift. The step in towards the ball delays your rotation so you’re not spinning open early.

Start without a ball to get the feeling, then progress to hitting shots.

One crucial bit — set up a little further from the ball than normal, so you’ve got room to step in without catching it out the heel.

🎯 Comment SWING for a free personalised swing analysis.

Chasing clubhead speed before you’ve sorted these three things is a waste of your time.

Strike. If you’re not consistently finding the middle of the face, adding speed just means you miss the middle by more.
Face to path. The gap between where the face points and where the club travels decides your curve. Speed magnifies it — so if those two are miles apart, swinging harder doesn’t give you distance, it sends the ball further offline.
Launch. How high the ball takes off and how much spin it has. So many golfers lose distance launching too low with too much spin — dial this in and you’ll pick up yards at the speed you’ve already got.

Sort those three, then go chase speed. Do it the other way round and you’re just adding fuel to a fire.

Here’s how a cack-handed grip can help you stop fatting your chip shots.

If you set up with too much shaft lean, it can tilt your shoulders too far to the trail side — which pushes the low point of your swing deeper into the ground. From there you’re forced to move quickly through the ball to avoid the fat, which is the last thing you want on a delicate chip.

Here’s the fix.

Set up with a cack-handed grip — lead hand low — and notice how it naturally levels your shoulders out. Then put your normal grip back on and feel how much less your shoulders tilt.

That levelling raises the arc height and helps take the fat shot out of play.

You’re not chipping cack-handed on the course — it’s just a feel to show you what level shoulders should feel like.

If you’re trying to fix your overswing with a shorter backswing — it won’t work. Here’s why.

An overswing isn’t a backswing-length problem. It’s a symptom of when your pelvis starts moving.

Most golfers think the downswing begins when the club changes direction. But watch any great ball striker in slow motion and you’ll see the pelvis start shifting back towards the target much earlier — while the chest and club are still going up. Overswingers leave that shift too late, so there’s nothing pulling the club back, and it just keeps going.

Start the downswing earlier and you fix the actual cause.

🎥 I’ve broken down the full fix — the drill that trains this, plus how it adds speed — in my latest video. Search Huw Williams Golf Coaching on YouTube.

Getting steep in your downswing? Your lead wrist might be why.

A cupped lead wrist at the top weakens the clubface and tends to steepen the club coming down.

If you’ve got a fairly neutral grip, try feeling like you bow — or flatten — that lead wrist a touch at the top. Stronger face, shallower plane, easier low point.

⚠️ One caveat: check the matchup with your grip first — on a strong grip this can send you the other way.

💥 Comment STRIKE for free access to my Strike It Pure video course.

Struggling with fat shots, thins and tops? This is usually the reason.

It’s called casting or scooping — releasing the club too early, so the lead arm and shaft line back up before the club’s even reached the ball. That widens your arc and pushes your low point behind the ball. Cue the heavy strikes, the jumping up to save it, the tops and thins.

The fix: keep your hands leading the club until after the ball — working around the body, not shoving the handle forward.

That’s just one lesson from the free course. The full thing walks you through the whole system.

If your lead knee works forward towards the ball in your backswing, it could be why you can’t turn enough.

When that lead knee drifts forward, it restricts how much your pelvis can rotate. Instead, let the lead knee work down and towards your trail ankle — that frees the pelvis up and gets you a much bigger turn in the backswing.

💬 Do you struggle to turn enough in the backswing? Comment below.
