If you want the best chance of striking the ball consistently out the centre of the clubface with effortless speed, don’t forget these easy to follow setup essentials and drills you can do at home…
1) Posture is the foundation needed to help you harness all the clubhead speed that you will generate from following my 5 step video series. Using a slam ball I demonstrate how this helps to set you up into good balanced posture.
2) The Pivot is the engine of your swing, learn to do this correctly to unlock effortless clubhead speed, rhythm and tempo…Using a heavy object to swing can help you quickly learn the feeling of the correct pivot and naturally and instinctively develop rhythm and tempo…
3) Left shoulder turns down towards the ground on the backswing, this keeps your spine angle maintained throughout the backswing keeping the club on a consistent plane.
