Stop The Reverse Pivot

Rob Watts, 04 March 2010 11:52

A common cause of the slice is when the body reverse pivots – where the weight shifts on to the left foot (for a right-hander) during the backswing and the upper body tilts towards the target. The weight then shifts the other way in the downswing, causing the club to come into the ball from across the target line. In ...

Strike Chips Better

Rob Watts, 04 March 2010 11:31

Many amateur golfers suffer from poor strikes when chipping because they take the club away too far on the inside, which means the hands have to over-work into impact to square the clubface. In this golf video tip, you can use a cane or rod positioned along the line of the toes to provide instant feedback if you bring the ...

Get more yards from the rough

Nick Clemens, 22 January 2010 14:27

You reach the biggest birdie chance on your home golf course, a short par five that often provides your scorecard with a rare red number. But if your tee shot slides off the fairway and into the rough, a bad lie can sometimes prevent you getting near the green with your second shot. But thanks to this top golf video ...

Improve at Impact

Nick Clemens, 14 January 2010 15:17

The point where the club meets the ball during the golf swing is arguably the most important fundamental in the game. It only needs you to be a fraction out and your ball could travel many yards right or left of the target. Sure, making sure the rest of your set-up is spot on helps, but watching this golf video ...

Don't Shank Chip Shots

Lee Scarbrow, 30 September 2009 10:07

Don't be fooled into thinking a shank is a horror shot that just creeps into your long game - it can filter down to your short game too! The shanked chip is often the consequence of a bad address. If the shoulders sit too far open at address, the right elbow tucked in close to the side, the club is forced ...

Chip Dead Every Time

Dan Frost, 30 September 2009 10:01

A lot of people have too much wrist hinge in their chipping action. This leads to thinned or fat chips. If you want to ensure you chip dead every time then you have to eliminate the wrists from the action and keep them very quiet in the stroke. TG Top 12 Teacher Dan Frost demonstrates a very effective way to ...

Should You Forward Press With Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson, 02 September 2009 14:07

Although the forward press in putting is a matter of preference, it has always been my style to use one, and I recommend you give it a try. By nudging your hands toward the target a couple of inches before starting your takeaway, you'll find it easier to return at impact with your hands ahead of the ball -- a ...

How I Turned A Low Fade Into A High Draw With Camilo Vilegas

Camilo Villegas, 01 September 2009 09:20

When I first arrived on Tour, if you’d asked me to hit a high draw then it wouldn’t have been a comfortable shot for me. I tended to hit the ball very low and, although I could move it both ways in the air, my natural shape was definitely a fade. Now, I’m not a very technical player, I don’t ...

Spend Less Time Over The Ball

Nick Clemens, 24 August 2009 16:00

As a general rule of thumb, the longer you take to hit your shot when standing over the ball, the worse the upcoming shot will be. This is because you become static and are thinking too much about the swing you are about to make. TG Instructor Nick Clemens has devised a method of keeping your pre-shot routine smooth and ...

Blasting Uphill by Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson, 24 August 2009 12:30

Uphill lies in sand give amateurs trouble because the tendency is to drive the clubhead directly into the upslope. There’s no margin for error that way: If you hit behind the ball even a little too much, the clubhead will pass directly under the ball, and you’ll be lucky to get it out of the sand. The key is to ...

With this anti-slice drill, you can use simply the weight of the club to get your swing plane online. By just placing your right hand on the grip when you swing, the weight of the ...

Pitching Body Synchronisation

Adrian Fryer, 06 August 2009 12:30

Pitch shots tend to go wrong when the arms work independently from the body and the hands get either too far behind or in front of the ball, leading to miss-struck shots. The key to consistent ball striking and getting your ball close to the pin is to get your arms and body working together. Here, we show you how ...

Shoulder Turn Drill

Dan Frost, 31 July 2009 09:00

Every golfer wants more distance off the tee with the big stick. But in an attempt to get fully loaded behind the ball for a big drive, many golfers will simply rotate their shoulders. By doing this and keeping the torso and lower body square to the ball, the position at the top becomes restricted often resulting in the player ...

Beat The Uphill Lie With Graeme McDowell

Graeme McDowell, 09 July 2009 14:00

The Uphill Lie One of the reasons golf is such a fascinating sport is all the different lies you encounter in any one round.

The dreaded slice. Just about every golfer has experienced it, so much so that nearly everyone even understands what happens when you create a slice.
