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.

💬 Comment “CHIP” and I’ll send you the full YouTube video breaking down how to become more consistent around the greens.

Want to control your chip shots better? Pay attention to what the club does after impact.

For a basic chip, feel like the clubhead stays low through the strike rather than quickly lifting up.

Keeping the club moving low helps create a more controlled motion and allows you to regulate how far the ball travels without adding unnecessary hand or wrist action.

Think about swinging through the ball—not scooping it into the air.

The club has loft for a reason. Let it do the work. 🎯

Low through the strike ➡️ better contact ➡️ better distance control.

Save this and give it a try during your next short-game practice.

💬 Comment “CHIP” and I’ll send you the full YouTube video breaking down how to build a more consistent short game.

Better chipping starts before you ever move the club.

For a basic chip shot, you don’t need a wide, full-swing stance. Narrow your feet to create a setup that makes it easier to control the motion and find consistent contact.

A more compact setup helps you stay connected, control the bottom of the swing, and create the simple motion you need around the green.

Remember—the goal isn’t power. It’s control, accuracy and predictable contact.

Simplify your setup. Simplify your motion. Hit better chips. 🎯

Save this one and check your stance the next time you practice your short game.

💬 Comment “CHIP” and I’ll send you my full YouTube tutorial breaking down how to chip with more confidence and consistency.

Chipping doesn’t need to be complicated.

One of the easiest ways to create a repeatable chipping motion is to think of the club moving more like a pendulum.

Let your arms and body work together as the club swings back and through. You don’t need to manufacture a big hit or add unnecessary hand action to create the shot.

The length of the motion helps control the distance, while the loft of the club helps determine how the ball launches and rolls.

Think smooth, connected and simple.

The less you try to “hit” the ball, the easier it becomes to create predictable contact around the green. 🎯

Save this and try the pendulum feel during your next short-game practice.

💬 Comment “CHIP” and I’ll send you the full YouTube tutorial to help you sharpen your short game.

Want more consistent contact around the greens? Think less wrist and more like a putting stroke.

For a basic chip shot, minimal wrist action helps keep the motion simple and repeatable. Too much wrist action adds unnecessary movement and can make it harder to control where the club bottoms out.

Think about the simplicity of your putting stroke: your arms, shoulders and torso work together with very little independent wrist action.

Bring that same feeling into your chipping.

Keep the motion connected, minimize the wrists, and let the loft of the club do the work.

Less wrist ➡️ simpler motion ➡️ more consistent contact. 🎯

💬 Comment “PURE” if you want more simple drills to help you hit it solid and shoot lower scores.

Your shoulder tilt could be the reason your club gets off plane. 👀

During the takeaway, your lead shoulder should feel like it works down and across as you rotate.

If your shoulders turn too flat, the club can get whipped inside early. From there, you may have to make compensations that lead to:

❌ Topped shots
❌ Off-plane swings
❌ Erratic contact

Try this simple checkpoint:

Place a club across your shoulders and make a few slow rotations. Check the angle of your shoulder turn and feel that lead shoulder working down and across rather than simply around.

Better shoulder tilt ➡️ better swing plane ➡️ more consistent contact. 🎯

Your best chipping club isn’t always a wedge. ⛳️

💬 Comment “CHIP” and I’ll point you to the full YouTube video where I break down chipping from setup to club selection.

Before you choose a club, ask yourself: How much airtime do I need—and how much roll can I use?

If the fringe is smooth and predictable, the putter may be your easiest option.

Need to carry some rough or uneven ground? Move into a higher-lofted iron or wedge to get the ball airborne before letting it release toward the hole.

The goal isn’t to automatically grab your favorite wedge. It’s to choose the club that creates the right air-to-roll ratio for the shot in front of you.

🏌️ Less air + more roll = lower-lofted option
🏌️ More air + less roll = more loft

Smart club selection makes chipping a whole lot easier.
