Tiger Woods’ golf swing is a swing that is marveled by all. We all think to ourselves, “If my swing mechanics just looked like his, I’d be on the PGA Tour.” Let me assure you, you wouldn’t! How do I know? Let’s take a look. Over the past 6 months, I spent a great deal of time learning Hank Haney’s…

Stuart Appleby’s golf swing has long been marveled at for its simplicity and power. It’s such a simple movement, but done with such great dynamism and athleticism, that Stuart makes a lot of complicated things seem very, very simple. Stuart looks very powerful, right from the outset, at address…

Today we’re going to take a look at the great “Slammin’ Sam Snead.” Snead had an excellent golf swing that’s been modeled after and discussed for many, many years.

We talk a lot about the importance of rotating your shoulders perpendicular to your spine. The Slide the Shaft Drill will help you learn that movement and build a more repeatable, powerful golf swing. This drill is best performed with two people, but there’s also a way to do it on your own if…

We’ve talked about the many different kinds of misses in the golf swing, and the different ways golfers miss the ball. A lot of our drills address the basic misses. Today we’re going to talk about what causes the typical pull shot by comparing a student’s swing with one of Chuck’s. Many golfers…

Wrist set is one of the most important aspects of the golf swing, and one that’s not discussed very often — especially in the Rotary Swing where you’re swinging the club more around your body rather than trying to get it set up high. Understanding the correct amount of wrist cock can be the…
