3 Incredible Ball Striking Drills inside+ How Far Do You REALLY Hit Your 7 iron?


Hi,
​
I know you work hard on your game and gather your distances and I also know it’s frustrating when your performance on the course doesn’t improve. Greens in regulation don’t increase or distance from the pin doesn’t get closer.
​
My question to you today is - Do you know your CARRY distances? ​
​
You might think you hit your 7-iron 170 yards. But do you actually know your average carry distance? Do you know your gapping? Or which club is costing you the most shots around the greens?
​
Often Golf is about making better decisions. And to make better decisions, you need accurate data.
​
If you're a ShotScope user then add me as your coach on the Shotscope dashboard.
​
Instead of guessing what happened during your round, Shot Scope tracks every single shot automatically. It gives you Strokes Gained analytics so you can clearly see where you’re losing shots and exactly what needs attention in your practice and then together we can set a practice plan to prevent wasted practice time.

Thanks to Lauren who helped me with the below video. We targeted her 40% GIR stats as a point of reference because she was missing too many greens SHORT

Happy Friday! If you’ve tried Pete Cowen’s spinning arm drill, you’ll know the idea: rotate the trail forearm to get the club working in the right direction. It’s a great drill, but a lot of golfers I coach can’t quite feel it. They end up confused about what their arms should be doing. So in this week’s video I show you an alternative: the motorcycle drill. Instead of thinking about your trail forearm, you focus on your lead wrist. You put it into more flexion, like revving a motorcycle...

I played a tournament earlier in the year. Having not played for a couple of weeks leading up to the event due to wintry conditions here in the UK, I took to my stats to try and figure out the best game plan that I could come up with to best represent my game. And using my shot scope data, I found that one of my main strengths in tournament golf is hitting greens in regulation. For me, and for most golfers, there is a direct correlation with shooting lower scores when you hit more greens in...

Spine angle faults in the golf swing

Hey. I hope you've had a great week of practice. Let's hope that practice can be rewarded with a good round of golf this weekend. In a recent YouTube video I posted, I showed the effects of poor spine angle control. One of the most common faults that I see in my lessons is the lack of understanding of the spine angle, not only at setup but throughout the golf swing. Many golfers actually correct this during the swing and can get into a decent impact position. However, the constant change of...
