AWESOME WORK TODAY WITH MEERA! LATELY I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO NARROW THE FOCUS AND HAVE 2-3 MAIN GOALS FOR THE STUDENT DURING THE SESSION. IF WE DON’T HAVE THIS FOCUS, ITS TOO EASY TO DRIFT AROUND AND ULTIMATELY NOT NAIL WHAT WE NEED TO BEFORE MOVING ON. STICK TO THE PROCESS AND LET THE RESULTS PLAY OUT. GREAT WORK MEERA!!!

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF
HOW SOME PLAYERS CAN MAKE FAST UPGRADES AND BIG POSITIVE CHANGES TO BALL FLIGHT IN REGARDS TO SPEED, START LINE, AND CURVE, ALL WITHIN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
•
•
•
In my eyes, controlling the low point, and striking ball in middle of face, and producing rhythmic athletic motion, are cornerstones for good golf, and Adam had pretty solid control over each of these. He had nice control over many aspects of his swing and is able to produce a repeatable motion enough to the point where he was able to shoot in the mid 80’s. For many recreational golfers, they would be very happy at this level. After watching him hit a few shots and watching the ball flight do basically the same thing, I told him we were going to be able to do some great things quickly. Take a look at this video and watch how much better he can move!

INITIAL GRIP POSITION WILL DETERMINE YOUR REQUIRED LEAD WRIST CONDITION TO MAINTAIN A SQUARE CLUBFACE.
•
•
There is a direct correlation between how you set your lead hand and how the wrist must perform during your swing in order to maintain a square clubface and ultimately control your start lines. There are great players on both sides of the grip spectrum, but in order to maximize your control, you need to get a handle on where you fit in and how to best manage your clubface. Check out the video and see which best fits you!

WHEN MAKING SWING CHANGES, IT IS NOT EASY! CHANGES DON’T TAKE PLACE JUST BY INTENT OR A NEW IDEA THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT. IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY SEE THE CHANGES, IT IS VITAL TO PERFORM THE NEW ACTION SUPER SLOW FIRST, SOMETIMES EVEN COMPLETELY STOPPING TO FEEL A CERTAIN POSITION. GRADUALLY ADD SPEED UNTIL YOU CAN NOTCH IT UP TO YOUR NORMAL TEMPO.

THE DOMINO EFFECT - I HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD WITH MY STUDENTS TO DO WHAT I REFER TO AS “GET THE DOMINOS PLACED SO THAT THEY FALL IN THE CORRECT ORDER” DURING MY NEXT SEVERAL POSTS, I WILL DESCRIBE IN DEPTH THE DIFFERENT DOMINOS TO YOUR GOLF SWING AND HOW WE CAN GET THEM IN LINE!
•
•
The above video is a clip from one of my Betterspaces live zoom classes. In this class, I discussed the importance of your setup and how we can make sure we are setting up that first domino in place. Distance from the ball, ball position, grip, posture and alignment are the most important aspects/dominos and I will discuss these each in depth as we go forward.

WANT TO INCREASE DISTANCE? ONE SIMPLE KEY COULD BE YOUR FEET AND HOW THEY ARE POSITIONED AT YOUR SETUP.
•
•
In many of my lessons I notice that the golfer will have their feet both square/pointing straight forward, or even worse, turned in. Having your feet set in this fashion limits your ability to turn. Flaring out both feet at your setup will give you much more range of motion in your legs/hips to create a more proper and bigger turn/pivot, thus increasing your potential to create speed!! In any sport that we play, or even when we are walking down the street, our body is most balanced and agile when the toes flare out slightly, carry this into your golf game as well!!

ONE HANDED PITCH SHOTS, WITH YOUR TRAIL HAND. ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH FINDING THE CORRECT SEQUENCE AND PRODUCING AN ATHLETIC MOTION?
•
•
One of my favorite drills to develop a proper sequence to the transition and downswing is to hit one-handed pitch shots with my right arm only. Your lower body will lead and you will get out of the way to make room for your arms and the club! Start with small swings and work your way up to a full pitch shot!

AWESOME PROGRESS FOR SKYLER! THE BEST PART OF MY CAREER IS HELPING PEOPLE ENJOY THIS GREAT GAME MORE AND MORE BY IMPROVING THEIR ABILITIES AND GAINING A TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR GOLF SWING WHICH LEADS TO CONTROL OVER THE GOLF BALL AND ULTIMATELY LOWERING THE SCORE.
•
•
I look at each client/student as a new challenge and enjoy diagnosing their swing issues, building a sound improvement plan and prioritizing what components of the swing need to be addressed and in which order. Skyler has worked with me less than a year, and when he started with me he was admittedly not very good and didn’t have an understanding of the golf swing as he didn’t have any formal instruction. It’s been great working with him and watching him work his way to a much better swing today. There is always room to get better and many things we will continue to improve upon, but very impressed with his progress and work ethic in regards to his practice commitments!

My top two fundamentals in golf are - centeredness of contact, and controlling the bottom of your arc. Everything we work on leads to better control over both of these!

ONFORM COACHING APP - A TOOL TO ANALYZE YOUR GOLF SWING, STORE LESSON VIDEOS, SHOW PROGRESS AND AN OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR.
•
•
I have been utilizing this great app more and more with clients and it demonstrates a ton of value in tracking progress. Really great to be able to see how you were swinging in comparison to how you are now, what you were doing when you hit it best, and many more positive aspects. The new analysis tools are amazing!!! Let’s get to work!

***SWING ANALYSIS*** 👀 🔬 ARE YOU CURIOUS AS TO HOW YOUR GOLF SWING MATCHES UP TO A TOUR PLAYER OR MODEL GOLF SWING? DO YOU WANT SOME IDEAS OR DRILLS TO WORK ON WHEN YOU PRACTICE? IF WE DO NOT HAVE AN EVALUATION OR ANALYSIS OF OUR SWING, IT GETS VERY DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE AND PROGRESS.
•
•
Adam is a new virtual/online client and we are beginning the journey to gain more control over his golf ball and ultimately lower his scores! Take a look at this small clip of our initial swing review.
•
•
Many of us cannot carve out time in our busy family and work schedules to get to a weekly lesson in person. That doesn’t stop us from improving and working on your golf swing! Reach out today and let’s take the first step to fix your golf swing!
