Koivun has shown some incredible wedge play this year, and this is a big reason why.

He keeps WIDTH in the backswing, which keeps the motion simple and controlled, then he maintains that into the downswing.

Then through impact, you’ll notice a slightly more HOLD-OFF release.

That helps him manage the face, loft, and trajectory through impact — giving him the ability to flight wedges in a ton of different ways.

And that’s absolutely KEY for high-level wedge play.

This is a very different release than what you’d see from him with a driver, and understanding that difference matters.

Different shot. Different intention. Different release.

Simple stuff but highly effective. Something any golfer can learn.

If the best in the world take it slow, why don’t you?

Jake Knapp is being DELIBERATE.

He knows what he needs to work on. He knows the drills to get him there. And he knows he can’t just go at 100% speed and expect something to change.

Everyone should practice like this.

Learn your tendencies. Understand what YOUR swing needs. Then use drills and constraints that push you in the right direction.

Feels aren’t always enough.

Sometimes you need a physical obstacle that makes the old pattern difficult and forces your body to find a different solution.

Don’t just find a new feel. Create an environment where your body can LEARN it.

Cringing while cleaning out my camera roll….

But the bones of the swing were good enough if you ignore the frequent shanks, tops, and toe hooks 🫣

Can definitely see some similarities between my old and new swings though. A lot of the same motion. Just cleaner. Less stuck. Less lower body action.

Putting still sucks 🤷‍♂️

Back pain was a part of my golf game for YEARS.

And looking back, there were a lot of things I could’ve been doing differently.

How I swung. How I set up. How I trained. Even something as simple as actually warming up before I played.

None of these are magic fixes, but becoming more intentional about how I take care of my body has made a huge difference for me.

Don’t wait until your body forces you to make a change.

Want cleaner iron strikes?

Copy THIS from Rory.

Watch his lower body throughout this swing.

Before the club really gets moving, there’s already a small trigger move through his feet and lower body.

That gets everything moving dynamically instead of starting the swing from a completely static position.

But the REALLY important part happens next.

As Rory turns into his trail side, he doesn’t just stay there until the downswing.

He begins re-centering toward the target EARLY — around the time the lead arm is approaching parallel in the backswing.

So by the time he reaches the top, pressure is already beginning to move back toward his lead side.

Then comes the part everyone notices.

He gets into that lead side and EXPLODES off the ground.

That push through the lead foot helps drive the pelvis up and around while the club continues working down and through.

And for an iron shot, that entire sequence helps create something incredibly important:

A low point that’s FORWARD of the golf ball.

Pressure gets forward early.

The body keeps rotating.

Then he uses the ground to push UP as the club releases through.

Down → Around → Up.

That’s a huge part of how great players create speed AND compression without trying to manufacture an impact position.

Now, don’t try to copy Rory’s exact amount of movement.

Copy the SEQUENCE behind it.

Get moving.

Re-center early.

Get into the lead side.

Then use the ground and RELEASE the club through.

The goal isn’t to force yourself into the perfect impact position.

Build an athletic motion that creates it.

Most golfers are trying to HIT an impact position.

That’s the problem.

They want the hands forward.

Chest open.

Weight forward.

Shaft leaning.

So they start trying to manually PUT their body and club into those positions at the ball.

But impact isn’t a pose.

It’s a BRIEF moment inside an athletic motion.

Think about throwing a ball.

You don’t freeze halfway through the throw and consciously arrange your arm, hips, chest, and pressure into the perfect “throwing position.”

You create the motion…

and your body passes THROUGH those positions.

The golf swing should work the same way.

Shift pressure. Rotate. Release.

One athletic, continuous motion.

Get pressure moving toward the lead side.

Let the body unwind.

Then allow the energy you’ve created to work OUT through the clubhead.

The ball just happens to get in the way.

That’s where the impact conditions we’re all chasing can start showing up NATURALLY.

Forward shaft lean.

Compression.

Rotation.

Speed.

Not because you tried to pose there…

but because the motion created them.

So stop trying to HIT the perfect impact position.

Build an athletic motion that passes through it.

Most golfers try to fix their slice in the DOWNSWING.

But the problem may have started long before you ever got there.

When the arms get loose and disconnected in the takeaway, the club can start working too far inside, the face can begin opening, and the arms can lose their relationship with the body.

Then they keep running after the chest stops turning at the top.

Now you’re starting the downswing with the arms behind you, poor structure, and often an OPEN clubface.

So what happens next?

You have to find some way to get the club back to the ball.

For a lot of golfers, that means the arms work OUT, the shaft gets STEEP, and the club cuts across the ball.

Open face + leftward path = SLICE.

And then we spend hours trying to “shallow” the downswing…

when the downswing may just be reacting to what we gave it at the top.

Instead, build a backswing that gives you somewhere to go.

Keep the arms connected to the turn.

Maintain WIDTH and structure.

Keep the hands and arms organized in front of the chest instead of letting them run behind you.

You don’t need to manually reroute the club on the way down if you’ve already created an environment where it can fall into place naturally.

Sometimes the best way to fix your downswing is to stop fixing your downswing.

How you organize the club going back has a HUGE influence on what you’re capable of doing coming down.

That’s a major piece of what I’m building into my Art of Ball Striking — a system that helps you understand how to build a swing that creates better contact without constantly fighting compensations.

I’m putting together the early access list now.

Comment “BLUEPRINT” and I’ll add you to the waitlist.

For a long time, I knew exactly what was wrong with my golf swing.

Or at least I thought I did.

My club would get steep in transition, and when my timing was off, the result was usually the same:

Pulls and huge over-fades that could ruin a round fast.

I could see the club getting across the line at the top, so that became the thing I obsessed over fixing.

Different feels. Different positions. Different rehearsals.

And I made progress.

But the change never felt as simple as it should have.

Because eventually I realized I was asking the wrong question.

Instead of asking:

“How do I fix the top of my backswing?”

I needed to ask:

“Why does my club keep getting there in the first place?”

For me, the answer started much earlier.

My takeaway worked too far inside, which made organizing the rest of my backswing significantly harder.

Once I started cleaning up what happened earlier, I didn’t have to work nearly as hard to manufacture the position I wanted later.

That change became an important part of my journey to becoming a + handicap.

But more importantly, it completely changed the way I look at golf swings today.

Seeing WHAT is wrong doesn’t automatically tell you WHAT to fix.

You’re steep? That doesn’t automatically mean you need a shallowing drill.

You early extend? That doesn’t automatically mean you need to work on your hips.

You flip it? That doesn’t automatically mean your hands are the problem.

Sometimes the ugliest part of your swing is just your body’s solution to something that happened earlier.

And if you spend all your time fixing the symptom, you can spend months working on something that was never the root problem.

That’s one of the biggest lessons becoming a better player taught me — and it’s now one of the biggest things I try to help my students understand.

Don’t just find what’s wrong. Find out WHY it’s happening.

Most golfers trying to gain speed have the same solution:

Try harder.

Swing the arms faster.
Rip the club from the top.
Fire the hips as hard as possible.

But more effort doesn’t automatically mean more clubhead speed.

And Cameron Young is a great example of why.

He absolutely swings HARD — but watch where that speed actually comes from.

Even with one of the most noticeable pauses in golf, there’s no panic from the top.

He uses the ground, gets pressure moving into the lead side, and allows everything to accelerate in sequence.

Pressure. Rotation. Extension. Release.

The goal isn’t to have every part of your body moving as fast as possible at the same time.

It’s to transfer energy through the chain and ultimately OUT to the clubhead.

If you immediately rip your arms down or spin your body as hard as possible from the top, you can disrupt that sequence.

Now you’re creating a ton of effort...

without necessarily creating more speed where it actually matters.

Think of a whip.

The handle doesn’t need to be moving fastest when the end cracks. Energy transfers through the system until the end accelerates.

The golf swing works on a similar principle.

So yes — swing hard.

But apply that effort in the right order.

Because the goal isn’t to LOOK fast.

It’s to make the CLUBHEAD fast.

And if you’ve been chasing speed without getting faster, another speed drill might not be what you need.

First, figure out what’s actually limiting YOUR speed.

That’s exactly what I look for in my Online Golf Game Evaluations — what’s holding your game back, what I’d prioritize first, and where your practice should go from there.
