So many golfers either pull with their arms in absence of full body movement, or pull the handle of the golf club like they are harpooning a whale. This will lead to many serious issues with the flight of your drives. Pulling the club down from the top typically causes slicing and a tendency to…
A good golf swing keeps everything moving around a fairly parallel arc, from the hips and center of mass, to the handle and the clubhead. This means that a perfect swing will approach the golf ball from the inside, hit it squarely, and then return back around to the inside again after impact. But this…
There are a myriad of ways and approaches to hit longer drives in golf. In the video below, I have brought my latest eBook, ‘4 Pillars for Hitting Long Drives’ into video form. In it, I explain the 4 Pillars and how you can use them to formulate a plan to increase your clubhead speed…
The graph below demonstrates how the golf swing is very much like a bullwhip action. As the segment (in this case the part of your body) gets smaller in mass, it slows its acceleration, allowing the energy to continue traveling out more distally. The blue line represents the clubhead. You can see clearly how much…
Mike Austin always talked about supple quickness, and we can use this philosophy to ramp up the clubhead speed of our golf swings by a massive amount. We apply the quickness in two areas of the swing – the pivot and the throw of the clubhead. First, in the pivot, which shifts our body weight…
The right humerus bone, the right forearm and wrist play a pivotal role in raising your potential to swing for high clubhead speed. Combined with contact and ball flight, this will get you hitting your longest drives ever…maybe even more driving distance than you’ve ever dreamed of having! In this video I demonstrate my ‘Pizza…
The release of the golf club has been one of the most misunderstood aspects of the swing. Starting with the camcorder era, our understanding of what the wrists should do in a good golf swing has been convoluted. Misrepresentations of popular books such as Hogan’s 5 Lessons and top 100 teachers instructing to lag and…
A great backswing puts you in good position at the top and sets the stage for the rest of the golf swing – a good transition and impact zone. A poor backswing, whether it be off plane or poor tempo, can really hamper your ability to get back to the ball with any consistency. There…
Mike Austin didn’t swing 150+ mph by complete accident. Yes he was a very strong man with a solid classic golf swing, but there was more – in the way he was doing it. You see, One of Mike’s key phrases that he passed on to students was ‘Under, Up, and Out!’. These are feels…
If you have been able to reach the 275 milestone as I demonstrated in my previous video in this ‘personal milestone’ series, you should now start to aspire to getting to the next phase which will really drop your handicap. Hitting the ball 300+ allows you to start dominating golf courses by hitting mid and…
