I pull the handle in with my left hand... as I turn the corner. That simple move creates what I call the “water skier effect.” Just like a skier accelerates when the boat changes direction, the club speeds up when you pull in and turn through. It’s not about swinging harder—it’s about applying force at the right moment. This is one of the key pieces most golfers are missing. When you get it right, the strike feels effortless… and the ball jumps. If you’d like to learn how to build this into your swing, join me at my upcoming golf schools: 📍 May 2–3 at Grapevine Golf Course (TX) 📍 July 17–19 at Foxwoods (CT) For lessons or more info, email me at [email protected]show more

Ben Hogan’s left arm got closer to his chest... as he turned through the shot. Instinctually, a lot of golfers “chicken wing” because they think they can hit the ball harder. But that’s not how serious compression is created. Pull in as you turn the corner, and keep that upper left arm tied to the chest. That’s where the speed, control, and compression come together. My upcoming Classic Swing Golf Schools are June 20–21 at Grapevine Golf Course in Texas and July 17–19 at Foxwoods in Connecticut. Email [email protected] for details.show more

Today everyone seems to be talking about getting shallow... — but with an iron, I actually want a steep angle of attack. Most of my students come in too shallow! When you get the hands ahead and create forward shaft lean, it naturally steepens your AOA and gives you that crisp, ball-first contact the greats all had. If you’d like to learn how to strike your irons like the legends, come train with me at Classic Swing Golf Schools. 📧 [email protected]show more

This swing has racked up over 1.8 million views... on Instagram — and here’s why. In this move, I’m focusing on pulling my hands in toward my body as I turn the corner. This simple key accelerates my rotation and keeps the club in front of me — just like Hogan. When you feel it, you’ll never go back. 🎯 My next Classic Golf Swing Weekend School is happening September 20–21, and I’ll be teaching one-of-a-kind fundamentals that can truly change your game — and maybe even your life.

Blades are the true game-improvement clubs. Why? Because they... demand your full attention. They require focus, precision, and a commitment to finding the middle of the face. When you know a slight mishit will let you know about it, your concentration sharpens and your strike quality improves. Those big, hulking, offset monstrosities allow your mind to wander—and that’s a dangerous thing in golf. Great ball striking starts with awareness. Get zeroed in. Get committed. Get Zen. If you’d like to learn the Classic Golf Swing and improve your ball striking, join me at my next Weekend Golf School on June 20–21 at Grapevine Golf Course in Texas. We spend two days building a repeatable, powerful swing, and we play 18 holes together on Sunday. For golf school information or private lessons, email me at [email protected].show more

The sweetness of catching a pure blade right on... the screws is hard to describe. These Miura Baby Blades are as pure as it gets. Miura Golf Early in my swing evolution, I made a decision that most people thought was crazy. I put away my oversized game-improvement irons and switched to blades. The result? My ball striking improved dramatically. Why? Because blades demand your full attention. They expose flaws, reward precision, and force you to develop better mechanics. Every shot matters. In a way, it was sink or swim—and my game got much better because of it. If you’re serious about becoming a better ball striker and learning the Classic Golf Swing, I’d love to work with you at one of my upcoming golf schools. For details and registration, email me at [email protected]. One question… Are you a blade player, or do you prefer game-improvement irons? Let me know in the comments.show more

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.show more

more GOLF micro-mechanics that will break your brain If... you release the #golf club earlier or later, that changes both low point and arc depth. This has a dramatic effect on ground contact location. Here's the scary part. An earlier release that creates just 2 degrees less shaft lean at impact is the difference between a flush strike and laying a divot over the ball. This is just another reason why your golf swing can feel the same from swing to swing, yet produce incredibly different results. If you want to learn the truth, as well as what to do about it, I put together an incredibly geeky golf webinar (7 Advanced Ways To Improve Your Game) which you can get (see next attached tweet/post)show more

The famous 16th hole at Cypress Point. Playing 220... to the pin. Wind howling to the left and into. Last time, I tried to muscle a 3 wood and ended up drowning. This time I went with the bunt driver. It’s the rare golf hole so impactful to play that you think about it the entire round. Heck, I was thinking about it the day the round was scheduled. It’s so hard. It’s so beautiful. It’s the most thrilling golf shot in the entire world.show more

I see the golf swing as a three-piece movement:... the backswing, the transition, and the downswing. The transition is where most golfers lose the swing. They rush from the top, jerk the club down with their arms, and throw away all the power they created on the backswing. That’s why I love the Pause Drill. By pausing at the top, you’re forced to start the downswing from the ground up, just as the great ball strikers did. It teaches the proper kinematic sequence while helping you develop a smooth, unhurried transition. I constantly remind my students that a great golf swing isn’t about moving faster—it’s about moving in the right order. Master the transition, and the downswing will take care of itself.show more

Grip a club in your lead hand. Observe how... twisting your forearm changes the angle of the face. This is largely what controls where your ball flies. Small differences in this angle lead to huge changes in shot direction. This precision is not being trained in the gym with “golf exercises”. Poor control of this face angle is what leads to a whole host of swing issues. More so than physical limitations. For example, it is far more likely you come over the top in an effort to stop the ball going right because your face is wide open and you’ve seen the ball go right the last 5000 times than it is you lack hip or shoulder mobility. It would be beneficial for me as a trainer to say otherwise, but I just don’t believe it to be true. Use the gym to work on your physical capabilities. Improve your mobility, strength, and power. These are the things you are losing as you age. Leave the swing mechanics for your practice and golf lessons. If you try to “fix your swing in the gym” you will likely do a poor job of training your swing and your body.show more

At Ardfin, one thing you get that is often... missing in modern golf course architecture is the Heroic golf hole. Golf holes that instill fear. That require long clubs and long carries. Golf holes with no escape. The 2nd hole is a 210 yard par 3 with a 180 yard carry. Playing 20 yards longer into the wind. Yes it’s hard. Yes I saw good players top the ball into the nether. But the reward is so satisfying when you hit the great shot.show more

A hallmark of Lee Trevino’s swing was right arm... extension. I studied this move with Tim Brantley, and it completely changed the way I think about the release. Here I’m working on allowing my right hand to thrust the handle forward and around through impact rather than trying to “hit” at the ball. It’s a great feel to try because it encourages the club to release naturally while maintaining lag and compression. Trevino understood that power comes from extending through the shot, not quitting on it. Give this feeling a try on the range and see what it does for your ball striking. 👍🏻show more

🚨Rodrigo when ask about his future after Real Madrid... signing Yan Diomande as his replacement while he’s injured. Reporter🗣️: What do you make up of Real Madrid signing Yan Diomande.? Rodrigo: 🗣️“It’s obvious how things change and how people forget you immediately you’re away, my opinion will be clear as I wouldn’t want to continue at the club if I’m recovered, will like to have new challenge else where in the premier league.” “And Liverpool is the club I’ve always wanted or chose as my next move when I want a new challenge in the premier league, a lot of fans will question me of this opinion but that’s what it is because Liverpool is the biggest club in England and every player will love to join them.” “Anfield is somewhere I dream of playing, the atmosphere there is so lovely with the fans cheering up for the players to get it done. I’ve never seen such beautiful atmosphere before at club football.”show more

Ben Hogan once said, “The flatter my swing is,... the fatter my wallet gets!” There’s wisdom in that. A flatter motion keeps everything moving around you—more rotary, more connected, more repeatable. When I work on flattening my swing, I feel my hips and shoulders turning on a more similar plane. The club begins to orbit instead of lifting and chopping. That freedom creates width, compression, and the kind of consistency you can trust under pressure. The classic players understood this. They built swings that worked when it mattered. My new Classic Swing Performance Academy, 3-Month class, begins March 4th. Enrollment is limited but there are a few spots left.

Bryson DeChambeau hasn’t played since the Ryder Cup and... he won’t be again until LIV Golf Riyadh in February. He says he’s been speed training through the off season though and has a target of reaching a comfortable 200mph ball speed. He’s also been playing table tennis with America’s number 1, Kanak Jha. Speaking to Tom Hobbs from Flushing It Golf, Bryson said: “I’m not playing until Riyadh. I’m going to be going in hot though. I’m sneaky working on my game really hard. “I'm going to start ramping up my speed again. I ramped up my speed in November, got it to where I was pumping over 190 quite efficiently with some slow golf balls and stuff. I got to 200 quite a bit. “I haven’t done much recently though. I was playing some ping pong actually the past couple of days with the number one USA player, Kanak Jha. He's so much fun. Ping Pong is my favourite sport, so I got to learn a little bit from the best in the U.S. He’s twenty first in the world. So nobody's really gotten that high from the U.S. which is sweet. “But I'll get back to speed training right after Christmas and going into the new season, I want to be close to 200. So that's my goal. I’ll just get to a place where I’m super comfortable swinging fast.” The last time Bryson went after speed he gained an enormous amount of mass. He’s come back down through the weights though over the last few seasons and is much healthier for it. But, if Force = Mass x Acceleration, will he look to add more mass again and what’s more important, increasing acceleration or gaining mass? “They're both very important. If you don't have any mass, you can't accelerate it. It's a symbiotic relationship. It's actually more like F equals M V squared, that’s more of the velocity side of it. “You can accelerate too, but what I would say is the most important thing is it's not necessarily the mass or the acceleration, it’s the ability to put pressure onto the club. So you're able to apply pressure and control that through your grip strengths around a circle, that's probably the more important piece. Applying controlled pressure to the golf club like grip pressure. “It's not that you just accelerate the club, because you have to learn how to control the face through that motion as well. So it's all, you know, you can say it's acceleration, but it's a lot of grip pressure stuff. The more you control the grip pressure and how you're moving that grip, I would say that’s more the answer to your question. “And I guess at a certain point there’s dimishning return with, you know, going up in the mass and even down in the mass. There is a sweet spot for swinging a golf club. If you get a speedstick, there's just not enough mass behind it to create the smash factor necessary, and vice versa if it is too heavy, you can’t swing it that fast. “I'll always say swinging and accelerating the club is probably the most important, but the real answer is applying the most pressure to the golf club. The grip pressure. You’re not gripping it tighter, but your hand force into it pulling it and then throwing it around the corner.” Continues in comments thread below.

I have learnt to understand that golf is about... minimizing your misses. On the tee, I aim up the right and I do everything to hit a draw. It gives me confidence knowing that I then have the entirety of the fairway to play with. If I hit a small draw, I end up on the right side of the fairway. If I hit a big draw, I end up on the left side of the fairway. If you aim up the middle, you double your room for error. Lesson is to learn the way you shape the ball and then make it work for you. #PXGTroopsshow more

Width and body turn are really important in the... backswing. Many ams think they have a full turn only because the club gets to parallel but in reality, they barely get any turn. It’s a lot of “fake” turn. First swing is a demonstration of how it can look like the club gets to parallel but with small body turn. When I “unfold” my arms, the club is only at hip length. The second is the opposite. Some think I’m trying to keep a short backswing when in actuality my body is turning really full with width and no wrist cock. I can get to “parallel” really easily with some wrist cock.show more

What’s your attitude when you get a windy day... on the course? One of the best things about playing links golf is you get used to the wind. You go from fearing it to craving it. (When the course is made for wind.) We had a super windy day at Kennemer in Holland. Had 180 yards straight into the breeze on 9, went with a dead hand 7 wood and struck gold. A great shot is always satisfying. But the more variables you take on, the more satisfying it is. Learning to treat wind as an opportunity to really play golf completely changes your enjoyment level.show more

What do you think of blind par 3’s? This... week at the Walker Cup, the world will get to see the famous Dell hole at Lahinch. Unless it’s a far right pin, it’s completely blind.

Wouldn’t want it on every course, but it’s awesome when it’s a rare and exciting experience.show more
