Congrats to Lydio Ko for winning the 1st major of the year, the ANA Inspiration. Her tempo is spot on at 27/9 on full swings. Also, Congrats to Jim Herman for his first PGA tour win. He has fairly unique tempo in that he does around 21 frames going back and then 7-8 frames down […]
Congrats to Jason Day! His tempo has historically been a little slow on the backswing and then fast on the downswing. However, I’ve noticed that he’s starting to speed up his backswing and this is much more in sync with his downswing. So, he’s: 21-23 frames back 7-8 frames down Thus, he has approx. the […]
One of the goals that Golfers who come into our VIP Schools have is that they want to be more Consistent. In 1990, when my dad first invented the SpeedBall, we did a video about the 3 things you had to have at impact to be a more consistent golfer: Clubface must be square at […]
WGC @ Doral Adam Scott making ‘beautiful swings’ at 22-24 frames back and 8 frames down. And then the final putt that he made on 18 was perfect Tour Tempo Short Game – 16/8. Rory’s Tempo is slightly off. Rory used to be a perfect 21/7 or sometimes 22/7. I’m now getting him at 21/8 […]
We’re going to get into the ‘Back Breakers’ and how to avoid them, but first we Start the blog today with a quote from Rory: “Obviously I’m trying to be strong, but the whole reason I started this is because I was injured. The golf swing is way worse for your back than anything I […]
You know if you stick with me, I’ll get you more distance (training aids/mechanics/workouts) and less thinking/better tempo (tour tempo). But before we go any further together, we need to make sure that we are on the same page. So, I’m going to lay out 2 options and you need to choose the right one. […]
Couple of General Tips to improve Geometry and increase your Distance! For our purposes, we have 5 keys to ‘ball launch 101’: Club Speed Ball Speed Smash Factor (Ball speed/CHS) Launch Angle Spin For the assumptions of this article, we are going to assume CHS is a constant. Thus, we need to first look at […]
Increasing your Driving Efficiency (how to hit farther with the swing you have now) With Simulation and everything! Do you want to hit the ball farther? Stupid Question, I know. Let me rephrase that, “How would you like to hit the ball farther right now?” or at the very least “Would you like to find […]
The USGA rule 14-3 goes into effect in 2016. For the basics, check this short video: http://www.usga.org/videos/2015/10/23/2016-usga-r-a-rules-revisions-rule-14-3-final-4575608041001.html 2 Parts to the rule: 1. Less Penalty (2 strokes compared to DQ – but watch video for full details) 2. This mainly applies to lasers – you can now turn ‘off’ the non-conforming part of the unit…i.e. […]
For distance I always start my students with… you guessed it the Speedball & Tour Tempo. We did the Y and L drills and then progressed to full swings with the Power Module. Mason’s main comment was, “wow, that is some serious resistance, I definitely feel I’m using some new muscles”. I always love to hear […]
