Most golfers hit down on their driver without realising it. It kills distance and adds spin you don’t want. This simple two-ball drill fixes it without having to think about your swing mechanics mid-round. Here’s how to set it up: ✅ Place a second ball roughly 4 inches in

Comment SWING and I’ll send you a free swing analysis to help you sort this out 👇 Most golfers use the same swing for every club. That’s the problem. Your irons and your driver actually require opposite movements, and once you understand why, the game starts to make a lot

If you’re trying to get under the ball to help it into the air, this swing thought is costing you clean contact every single time. The club is already designed with loft. Your job is not to help it. When you try to scoop or get under the ball, you either hit it fat or you

Most golfers just throw clubs in wherever they fit. There’s a better way, and once you see it you won’t go back. A well-packed bag protects your clubs, saves time on the course, and means you’re never fumbling around mid-round. Here’s how to set it up properly: ✅ Wedges in

If your pitching feels inconsistent, the problem usually starts before you even swing. Most golfers set up for a pitch shot the same way they set up for a full swing. That’s the issue. A few small adjustments at address make everything easier: ✅ Feet closer together than a

Most golfers try to swing differently to hit the ball low. You don’t need to. It’s a setup problem, not a swing problem. Move the ball back in your stance and shift your weight forward at address. That alone delofts the club and gets the ball flying lower before you’ve even

This is one of the most common faults I see, and it’s one I’m working on myself. When the trail arm loses connection with the body, the whole swing falls apart. The Swing Sync from Final Putt keeps the trail arm connected to the chest throughout the swing. It’s not about

If you’re losing power or striking it thin, coming out of your posture in the backswing is likely the reason. Most golfers stand up without even noticing it. The body lifts, the head drifts, and the swing falls apart before you’ve even started down. Try this at home before your

If your ball striking is inconsistent, your posture in the backswing is probably the reason. Most golfers lift out of their posture without even knowing it. The head rises, the spine angle changes, and the whole swing has to compensate from there. This drill fixes it fast: ✅

The reverse pivot is one of the most common power leaks in amateur golf — and most golfers don’t even know they’re doing it. Instead of turning around your spine, the weight shifts toward the target on the backswing. Then it falls back through impact. The result is weak,

If your swing feels all arms and no power, this is exactly why. Most amateur golfers swing with their arms and wonder why they can’t generate distance. The body isn’t turning. It’s just lifting. This drill fixes that fast. Place the club head on your trail shoulder with the

Most golfers try to create width and turn at the same time. It never works. This drill breaks the backswing into three simple parts so your body actually learns what a good position feels like. ✅ Hinge the club up and rest it on your shoulder ✅ Turn your body into the

If your pitching feels inconsistent, shaft lean is probably what’s missing. Most golfers flip through the ball at impact. The club passes the hands, loft increases, and the strike falls apart. The Hell Drill fixes that. ✅ Lead hand on the club as normal ✅ Trail hand palm on

Most golfers blame their swing when the real problem is their weight transfer. If you’re hitting it fat or thin, this staggered stance drill will change the way you feel impact. Here’s how to do it: ✅ Drop your back foot roughly 12 inches behind your normal stance ✅ Make a

If your ball keeps peeling right, your swing path is the problem — not your grip, not your stance. Most golfers try to aim further left to compensate. That just makes the slice worse. The ball gate drill forces your body to find a neutral path without overthinking a single

If you’re slicing or hooking, your swing path is almost certainly the culprit. This simple drill builds the awareness most golfers never develop. The good news? You don’t need a complete swing overhaul. One drill trains your body to feel what a neutral path actually is. ✅

Most golfers try to control ball flight at address. The answer is actually in your finish. Where your hands finish tells you everything about where the ball is going. ✅ Low finish = low penetrating ball flight ✅ Mid finish = your stock, piercing trajectory ✅ High finish =

Most golfers use the same setup for every club. That one mistake is quietly costing them both contact and distance. Shaft angle at address changes everything — and irons and driver need to be set up completely differently. With your irons, the ball is on the ground. You want

If your fairway woods are inconsistent, your body movement off the ball is likely the problem. Most golfers sway away from the ball in the backswing without realising it. That lateral slide makes it nearly impossible to find the centre of the face. The fix is simpler than you

Most golfers who slice have tried everything. New grip, new stance, new swing thought. But the real cause is usually happening in the first move of the downswing. There are two common mistakes that cause the ball to go left or right off the tee. ✅ Pulling the handle down
