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…
In part 3 of my personal milestone series, we will discuss in great detail exactly how you can reach the 250 yard milestone…first once, then consistently. Here are the basic factors that hold most golfers back from driving a ball this far: You’ll need a minimum clubhead speed of around 89 mph just to hit…
First we contract a muscle. The instant the motion starts, even if just a finger, the forces we put into the ground suddenly change. Then the ground pushes back. If we can put a lot of forces into the ground as we start our downswing, we create a tremendous brace to turn around and hit…
The driver is one of the toughest clubs to make perform consistently. It’s length, bulky head, and low loft makes it the easiest to mistime and go off line. The lower the loft on a club, the greater the potential it has to curve. Also, since we are going the furthest, the geometry would suggest…
You could use all kinds of different golf swing methods and have decent results when it comes to accuracy. I prefer the Mike Austin swing method because I get big time distance with no sacrifice in accuracy. But no matter which type of swing you use, or even your own style, you must have 3…
