I have played with 3 Korn Ferry Tour guys in last 3 days. I hit it just as far as they do, I am almost 46, they are 23. If you stay fit and train hard you can hold onto distance for a long time. Your lower body strength/power will dictate how far you are able to hit it.

Once you have the proper hip internal rotation it is time to start using it. Stagger your foot for each respective side. Slow, short swings, feel your hips internally rotate. You will feel like your chest is staying down a bit through it. Important that you don't try and create speed with your upper body.

Here is a drill to help you learn what it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.

Steph Curry Drill: 5-10 shots, none of them the same. Don't worry about re-gripping it. Move your body, close your stance, open it. Get too far away from it, get too close to it. Stand on one leg. Move around and just let your body create the shot. If you ever watch Steph Curry warm up, this is what he does in basketball. This gets you out of internal swing thoughts and into the shot. I hit every one of these right on the sweet spot. Your subconscious when allowed to operate is powerful and using drills like this to develop. hand eye coordination will help you to just be an athlete on the course.

Because of this drill I tend to use my 56 degree for most chips. I do this 3 club chipping drill a lot. I like how it forces different feels, trajectories and requires me to react to the target. I will switch from 60 -> 56 -> 52 Same pin, different landing spots, spin and shot type. My practice data supports me using a 56 over a 60 on a lot of green side shots. This drill will help you to discover what is right for you.

If you can't do this in your golf swing you are going to struggle. The Pelvic Tilt Test is a little goofy but it is critical to having a great golf swing. I break down how to test yourself and why it is important.

Yesterday a guy I have helped a bit here on X played and missed his State Am Qualifier by a few shots. He sent me a list of shots that cost him. Here is what you can learn as I talk through the scenario below. "Bad club choice on 1. Hit a 135 club to a 147 back pin. Had a flyer lie in the first cut and it didn’t jump like I planned. Hit a good bunker shot and missed a 5 footer. Led to Bogey. "

I started working with a guy who is a 30 handicap this weekend. Here is how I coached him on how to shoot his lowest round ever immediately. If you fit this archetype as a golfer my advice might surprise you.

Golfers: Do this in your pre-shot routine to make sure you are lined up correctly. So many times people think there is something wrong with their swing when it is just their alignment. Tiger and Jack did this in their pre-shot routines.

My favorite drill/feel if you come over the top. This is a great drill to practice at home without the feedback of the golf ball. It can also be a nice feel in a pre-shot routine.

This test and how it plays out in the golf swing is exactly why I do at TPI Fitness evaluation before ever giving you swing advice. I have to know what the root cause is. This is a simple test you can do at home and and explanation of how it plays out in your golf swing. Let me know if you have any questions.
