Many golfers who come over the top have transition backwards. They feel like the downswing starts with rotation, so they spin open from the top, throwing the club out and over the plane. Hello, slice. The fix isn’t no rotation. It’s better sequence. Starting the downswing with a lateral move toward the target not only shifts pressure into the lead side, it helps shallow the club. Now rotation becomes an asset. With the club shallow, a player can rotate as aggressively as they want and the path stays on plane. The lateral shift earns the right to turn hard. This is one of the ways we teach coaches to use force plate data in our advanced seminars. When we see an over-the-top pattern and lateral force is low or late, we start cues from the ground up. 🎥: Me and My Golf

Many golfers believe that dialing back their swing speed is automatically going to produce a more controlled, technically sound swing. However, in reviewing motion-capture and force-plate data from elite players like Wyndham Clark, we often see the opposite is true. When we ask golfers to go after it, their data not only looks more athletic, they get a more dependable ball flight.

Huge congratulations to Aaron Rai and our friends at Me and My Golf on the PGA Championship! The success of Aaron, Andy and Piers is the product of years of doing the right work, the right way. Zero shortcuts taken, by the player or his coaches. Could not be happier for them.

Many amateurs wait until the top of the backswing to initiate the downswing. Elite players do not. When we look at force plate data from the best ball strikers in the world, the majority begin pushing against the ground well before the backswing is complete. These ground reaction forces help decelerate the pelvis so the player can lead with the lower body on the downswing. Force precedes motion. New video on our YouTube channel. Link below

Alignment trouble looks like a setup problem. Often it's a perception problem. A right-handed, right-eye dominant player often has more difficulty aligning to the target than a cross-dominant player. If alignment is an issue, here are two of our favorite strategies that Dr. Rose introduces in our advanced Golf curriculum. 1) Move the reference spot behind the ball: Instead of picking a reference spot in front of the ball, pick a spot behind the ball on the target line and walk in looking at that. For same-side dominant players, this moves the spot closer to their dominant eye. 2) Keep it binocular: Pick a spot in front and keep your eye on it as you walk in. Draw the line from the ball through the spot, square yourself to it, then walk into the shot. This keeps both eyes working together the whole time. Poor alignment can quietly hinder progress, and a player's visual system can make it even harder to correct. Our next Golf Level 3 seminar is October 9th - 11th at TPI HQ. Golf Level 2 is available via online course.

When we saw Wyndham Clark in 2025, he was sliding excessively towards the target on the downswing with his irons. One of our favorite drills for helping golfers eliminate slide is lead leg only swings. By removing the trail leg, the golfer is forced to stabilize and rotate over their lead side rather than slide past it. Any excess lateral movement is amplified immediately, so the body starts to learn to post up and turn around a firm front side. The payoff is a more stable low point and more consistent contact with the irons.

Building a firm front side with Wyndham Clark. When we assessed Wyndham last year, 3D and GRF data showed that his lead side was soft in the downswing with his irons. This caused him to drift toward the target rather than post up and drive his arms. While changes will ultimately be made with a club in his hand, we like to incorporate exercises in the gym that reinforce the feel we are chasing. An overhead medicine ball throw can introduce how “the foot connects to the hand” in that the push from the ground helps accelerate the ball. The legs lead, and the power follows. From there we move to a side-toss into the wall, training a firm, athletic lead foot. That’s the feel we want to encourage in his iron swing.

“I saw a 5 mph increase like that.” Ben Crane describing how learning to unweight in transition helped him generate higher ground reaction forces on the downswing, resulting in an immediate jump in clubhead speed. Ben’s journey to 120 mph has also included serious physical and speed training, but this change is an example of how encouraging a more athletic swing can produce instant speed.

A characteristic of the best putters in the world is they tend to keep more focus on the hole while setting up. Just as a basketball player or QB focus on their target and not the ball, looking at the hole more than the ball or putter head can help a golfer with alignment and speed control. 🎥: Golf Level 3

The 90/90/90 Oblique Stretch is one of our favorite exercises for improving rotational mobility in the thoracic spine, especially for golfers with fascial restrictions. This is one of the hundreds of “at-home” exercise options that a TPI Certified professional can program through our app. If lack of mobility is affecting your swing, lack of equipment or gym access shouldn’t be an excuse to improve. Full video of our session with Tyler Duncan on our YouTube channel.

The best players in the world are teeing it up in Augusta this week. The swing styles might be different, but the preparation is the same. Hard work is the price of admission in professional golf. Working on the right things is what separates the best from the rest. Assess, don’t guess.

Whenever a golfer comes to us asking for more speed, we start by answering a single question: is the gap between their current ball speed and their potential ceiling a mechanical, physical, or equipment issue? Teaching golf instructors, fitness and medical professionals how to evaluate problems like this is one of the foundational goals of our advanced course curriculum. By developing assessment skills for movement capabilities, physical capacity, force production and 3D mechanics, they can turn that question into a clear, traceable plan for every athlete they work with.

Golfers who early extend often have physical limitations which make it difficult to rotate their pelvis, preferring to thrust towards the target line instead. Additionally, many of them are actually standing too far from the ball at address. This makes it very challenging to correct early extension because they feel they have to shift forward to make center face contact. By moving them fractionally closer to the ball at address, we can give them an additional incentive to clear their pelvis on the downswing.
