Stance and Alignment: Building a Reliable Setup

Lay an alignment stick parallel to your target line and match feet, hips, and shoulders to it. Subtle shoulder misalignments can cause hidden slices. Film from down-the-line, pause at address, and compare to your intended line. Repeat until alignment becomes second nature under stress.

Backswing Sequencing: Coil Without Tension

Feel the chest, arms, and club move together the first foot back, maintaining triangle structure. Avoid snatching with hands or rolling the face open early. A towel under both armpits is a classic, reliable check that encourages connection without locking your motion in concrete.

Transition and Downswing: From Ground Up

From the top, feel pressure move into your lead heel as the lead knee re-centers toward target. This subtle move sets the stage for rotation without sliding. Film your feet; pressure boards or balance discs add awareness. Share your before-and-after ground use results.

Transition and Downswing: From Ground Up

Let the trail elbow glide down in front of your hip while the wrist maintains hinge. Imagine skipping a stone, not chopping wood. Over-shallowing can cause blocks, so pair with a chest-turn cue. Post your favorite shallowing drill for others to try this week.

Transition and Downswing: From Ground Up

A controlled, square release comes from body rotation plus stable wrists, not last-second hand flips. Use tee gate drills to confirm centered contact. If hooks appear, extend through impact with chest facing left of target. What release feel produces your straightest ball flights?

Tour-Pro 3:1 Cadence Explained

Many elite players move the club back roughly three times longer than down. Count ‘one-two-three’ back, ‘hit’ down. Practice with a metronome to engrain it. Consistent cadence tightens contact dispersion without extra effort. Tell us how your shot pattern shrinks when cadence locks in.

Metronome and Music Drills

Set a metronome between 60 and 75 bpm and match takeaway to three clicks, then strike on the fourth. Alternatively, swing to a favorite chorus. Record ten swings, compare timing, and note strike quality. Share your playlist so the community can groove together.

Breathwork to Calm First-Tee Nerves

Inhale for four, exhale for six before addressing the ball. Use a quiet sigh to release jaw tension. Pair breath with a waggle rhythm to keep motion alive. Comment with your first-tee ritual and help others start their rounds with steady hands and heart.

Impact and Follow-Through: Where Ball Meets Story

With irons, strike ball then turf for a descending blow; with fairway woods, brush the grass with a shallow arc. Use face impact tape to verify strike height. If thin, check low point. Share which cue helped you achieve that satisfying, crisp iron thump.

Impact and Follow-Through: Where Ball Meets Story

Sprinkle chalk line or draw a stripe on the turf. Make swings and note where the club first meets ground. Move that point forward by shifting pressure and maintaining tilt. Divot direction reveals path, depth reveals dynamic loft. What did your last divot teach you?

Practice Plans and On-Course Decisions

Start with short block sessions to learn a move, then switch to random targets and clubs to test it. Use ten-ball sets: three block, seven random. Track contact, start line, and curvature. Share your ratio sweet spot so others can copy what actually transfers.
