Try My Bucket Drill to Add More Power to Your Golf Swing!

July 24, 2019Steve Pratt

Many golfers, especially as they get older, fail to properly use one of the biggest power sources in the body – the legs and hips. Instead they try to overuse the arms especially the left arm in a pulling action, which results in a whole list of issues like slicing and the chicken wing for…

The History of Driving Distance on the PGA Tour

July 17, 2019Steve Pratt

Since the dawn of the driving distance stat in 1980, professional golfers have gained about 40 yards off the tee. But rather than a slow linear creep over that time span, there have been some notable milestones where distance has sprung up more suddenly. Dan Pohl was the driving leader the first year the tour…

Mike Austin Debunks Golf’s Biggest Lie

July 14, 2019Steve Pratt

Ever since the early 90’s, starting when handheld camcorders came into existence, golf teachers (and golfers) have been obsessed with creating the ‘delayed lag’. Mike dubbed this phenomenon, “Golf’s Biggest Lie.” Certainly it’s right up there with my all time favorite, “Keep Your Head Down!” This thinking was certainly pervasive until recently. You see, technology,…

Mike Austin at Age 77: Still Driving a Golf Ball Over 300 Yards!

July 11, 2019Steve Pratt

The members of Mike Dunaway’s 350 Club were like the who’s who of the Long Drive Hall of Fame. You had Evan ‘Big Cat’ Williams, Bobby Wilson, Mike Gorton, Art Sellinger, and an old timer named Mike Austin. To make the 350 Club you had to either hit the ball over 350 yards in competition,…

Mike Austin Talks About the Golf Swing

July 7, 2019Steve Pratt

Mike Austin and Mike Dunaway went up to central California to film Austinology, which would become a massive 7 1/2 hour opus detailing how to construct the Austin swing, and incredible demonstrations from Dunaway.

Mike Austin: Super Rare Lecture and Demonstration of the Golf Swing

July 6, 2019Steve Pratt

I recently discovered a video I’m betting most Austin fans have never seen. This was filmed in 1997, when Mike was reportedly 87 years old. Mike had suffered a stroke in 1989 but yet you can still see his fighting spirit. Mike was extremely knowledgeable about the joints, muscles, and nerves involved in making a…

Mike Dunaway: Greatest Power Swing of All Time?

July 4, 2019Steve Pratt

There’s a lot of guys on my list of great power swings – Sadlowski, Zuback, David Mobley, Eddie Fernandez. But arguably, Mike Dunaway could be on top. Dunaway was Mike Austin’s most notable pupil, and founder of the 350 Club, back when 350 yard drives were a really big deal. In the 80’s, the National…

The Longest Driver in the World…Pound for Pound?

July 1, 2019Steve Pratt

Sometimes they crown boxers greatest in the world pound for pound, but how about for driving distance in golf? Until I see different, I have to hand the title to Aaron Davis of Phoenix, Arizona who was a respectable pro long driver. At 5’7″ and 145 lbs., I captured Davis at 138 mph clubhead speed…

3 Big Keys to Generating Effortless Power in Your Golf Swing

June 30, 2019Steve Pratt

If you’ve ever been to a PGA Tour golf tournament, you’ve certainly heard the oohs and aahs of the gallery watching a pro drive the ball for the first time. The ball simply soars out of sight, unlike their hacking attempts to swipe it out there 150 or 200 yards. And it looks so darn…

Getting More For Less: The Keys to Driving Distance Efficiency

June 27, 2019Steve Pratt

There’s something very beautiful about smooth efficient motion. And I don’t just mean in golf – but any sport or even dance. I’ve been mesmerized by great athletes from basketball to ballet, from golf to gymnastics. It’s as if poetry from a book by Robert Frost has spilled out all over a sports field. Most…
