STOP SQUATTING LIKE YOU’RE OVER A TOILET 🚽

It might feel stable… but it’s actually killing your golf swing.

Dropping your Centre of Mass (CoM) too low and sitting into your heels = biomechanical nightmare.

Here’s why 👇

❌ You lose dynamic balance:
When pressure sits in your heels, the club’s outward centrifugal force in the downswing can literally pull you off balance.

❌ Your body has to compensate:
With your CoM too far back, you’ll either stand up (lose posture) or thrust forward to recover.

❌ You shut down power from the ground:
Good Ground Reaction Forces (GRF) come from an athletic setup—not a squat.

❌ Wrong muscles take over:
Less glutes (your power engine), more quads and lower back = inefficient and inconsistent.

❌ You restrict internal hip rotation:
Limited trail hip turn going back, limited lead hip rotation coming down.

—

So what should you do instead?

✔️ Stop over-squatting
✔️ Less knee bend, more tilt from the hips
✔️ Feel pressure in the balls of your feet—not your heels

And the “ruler”?

👉 Just a feedback tool to keep pressure where it should be.

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED RORY MCILROY’S LEAD HEEL…?? 🤔

Arguably one of the best drivers of the golf ball in our generation. The scary part? It’s not just power—it’s precision.

But here’s something most people miss…

👉 In transition, Rory’s lead heel replants CLOSER to the target.

Why does that matter? 👇

First—can your body even do it?
Quick check: Lower Quarter Rotation Test
🎯 Target = 60°+ internal rotation in the lead hip

⸻

🔑 What this move actually does:

⚙️ Re-centres + shifts pressure forward early
⚙️ Optimises Ground Reaction Forces (GRF)
⚙️ Pre-sets the lead hip internally → allows faster, freer rotation
⚙️ Creates separation (SSC) → more stretch = more speed
⚙️ Boosts clubhead speed
⚙️ Improves strike + consistency
⚙️ Reduces injury risk (less last-second compensation)

⸻

Let’s be honest… we’re not getting Rory’s swing anytime soon 😅

But understanding why he does it?
That’s where your gains are. 📈

DRIVER 🔥 LEAD SHOULDER IN THE BACKSWING

Rory McIlroy (1st SG Off the Tee)
Aldrich Potgieter (1st Driving Distance)

Different swings. Same outcome… BOMBS 💣

But here’s the common thread 👇
Lead shoulder movement in the backswing matters.

⸻

When your head + lead shoulder are not behind the ball/towards the inside of trail foot at the top of the backswing you’ll end up get too “on top” of the ball at impact:

❌ CoM not behind the ball
❌ That “stuck” feeling
❌ Reduced dynamic loft
❌ Handle dragged too far forward
❌ Steep AoA
❌ Stalled rotation
❌ The dreaded 2-way miss

⸻

What you actually want:
✔️ Stay stacked… but not on top of it
✔️ Create space to launch
✔️ Let the club shallow and release naturally

⸻

Big drives start with better structure 🧠

➡️ This builds directly off my last reel:
“LEAD SHOULDER DOWNSWING”

CASTING = POWER LEAK + INJURY RISK ❌

Casting (early release) throws the club away too soon — killing lag, speed, and compression. You lose control of the clubface, adding dynamic loft and strike consistency goes out the window with dropkicks and thins!

But here’s the bigger issue 👇
When you cast, your body has to compensate hard late in the downswing — putting excess stress on the wrists, elbows, and lower back. End result = Early retirements.

Try this simple drill, it’s just one of many that can help. Even better than it can be done at home so there is not excuse! 👍🏽

WHY YOUR LEAD FOOT “SLIDES AWAY” ⛳️

Have you seen the video of Matthew Fitzpatrick power mechanical training with Mark Blackburn??

This is a very simple drill to train the lead leg and motor patterns. A more in depth explanation why this drill is important: ⬇️

When you start using ground reaction forces (GRF) + real rotational speed, that lead foot often creeps further from the ball. Here’s the simple reason 👇

1️⃣ You’re pushing into the ground harder. As you apply force down and out, the ground pushes back (GRF).
That force doesn’t just go up — it also has a horizontal component.

➡️ That horizontal push = your lead foot getting nudged slightly away from the ball.

2️⃣ Rotation needs space
When the pelvis rotates aggressively through impact, the lead hip moves back and around.

3️⃣ It’s a pressure release, not a slide
It’s a reaction to force + rotation ✅

Think of it like:

Push hard into the ground → body unwinds → foot adjusts to keep balance

4️⃣ Better players don’t fight it
Watch high-speed swings — the lead foot often:
• Rolls
• Opens
• Slightly moves outward

All to match the force they’re producing

⸻

Simple takeaway 🧠
If you’re creating real speed and using the ground properly…

👉 a small lead foot movement is a feature, not a fault

There’s no “one way” to release the club — just look across the Tours from Rory McIlory to Jon Rahm. Different swings mechanics, different motor patterns, different shot shapes.

But if you’re lost between P6–P8 and just want something simple that actually works… start here ⬇️

👉 Grab a towel + place it under both arms
This keeps the arms + chest connected and removes all that unnecessary compensation whilst doing the drill ❌

Build it step-by-step:

1️⃣ Stand tall
No body, no pivot — just feel the wrists + forearms releasing the club

2️⃣ Add a slight forward bend
Now introduce pressure shift… start blending it together

3️⃣ Layer in the full pivot
Rotate through and finish fully extended — now you’ve got a release that squares the clubface whilst maximising clubhead velocity ✅

Simple. Structured. Repeatable.

There’s no one perfect grip…
Rory McIlroy runs it strong 💪
Jon Rahm leans weaker 🤏

👉 It all depends on your swing matchups ⚙️

But if you want a blueprint… Adam Scott’s grip routine is ELITE.

👀 Watch this closely:
• Lead hand sits in the fingers
• Sets up neutral → slightly strong
• Clean. Repeatable. Reliable.

⸻

Why it matters 👇

✔️ Builds your swing structure
✔️ Controls wrist mechanics
✔️ Improves strike & efficiency
✔️ Eliminates compensation

You’ll see it all the time with weekend warriors — that flying trail elbow in the backswing.

Now don’t get me wrong… even legends like Jack Nicklaus had a version of it. But the difference? Elite players maintain structure and connection. Most amateurs don’t.

When that trail elbow gets too wide and disconnected, things can get messy fast… 👇

Common issues that follow:
❌ Across the line at the top of the backswing
❌ Arms disconnect from the torso
❌ Shaft gets too steep in transition
❌ Poor kinematic sequencing
❌ Clubface control becomes reliant on the wrists & forearms

All of that usually leads to one thing…
➡️ Weak, inconsistent power

Simple drill to improve it:

1️⃣ If you’ve got decent trail shoulder external rotation, slide your lead hand under your trail arm around the tricep/elbow area
2️⃣ Make a backswing using only the trail hand
3️⃣ Feel the deltoids and traps engage to maintain structure at the top

The goal?
👉 Better connection. Better structure. Better control.

SIMPLE. 👍🏽

See this all the time — especially in faster clubhead speed players who struggle to control the core + pelvis through transition.

So what actually happens when you early extend?

1️⃣ Block right (for right-handers)
2️⃣ Snap hook left when you try to save it
3️⃣ Excessive ulnar deviation → toe-down turf strikes
4️⃣ Leaking serious power

🚨 The Fix (Your Feel):

In transition, yes — pressure shifts to the lead side as normal…

BUT also feel the pelvis working on a 45° angle (from a bird’s-eye view), not thrusting straight toward the ball.
That’s where the alignment stick comes in 👀

Control the pelvis → control the strike → control the ball flight.

Give it a crack and let me know how it feels 💪🏽

The F’way Wood is arguably one of the hardest clubs in the golf bag to hit….people assuming because it’s closer to the Driver they have to apply the same swing mechanics. Definitely not! ❌

To hit the Fairway Wood more cleanly you still need to have a slight Downward ⬇️ Angle of Attack (AoA) but not too much where you take whooping divots and hit Tiger stingers.

2 Simple Tips:
1️⃣ Place a tape around 1” in front of golf ball, when practicing try and ‘feel’ yourself hitting the tape.
2️⃣ Ball position around a clubs size away from heel (4”-6”)

Priorities contact first. Distance after! 💪🏽🚀
