Align at impact for added distance

Gareth Johnston, 14 March 2012 11:32

Angle of attack is very important when driving as it influences the launch angle and amount of backspin imparted on the ball. The optimum point in the swing arc to strike the ball on is slightly on the upswing. Having the ball positioned correctly, just inside the front left heel, will encourage this. A flat left wrist at impact allows ...

Master those in-between yardages

Gareth Johnston, 09 February 2012 16:40

Those tricky yardages around the 100-yard mark often don’t match up with how far we hit our wedges. Most players will have quite large gaps between the yardages of each of their wedges so it’s important to know how take distance off the shot when required. In this golf video tip, TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston explains how some simple ...

Nail your plane when pitching

Gareth Johnston, 09 February 2012 16:29

Swing plane is important on every full shot as it influences both path and angle of attack. To strike pitch shots crisply and accurately, getting the plane right at the start of the swing is especially important. In this video tip from TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston, you can use this simple checkpoint to check your swing plane is correct. ...

Tiptoes pitching drill

Gareth Johnston, 02 February 2012 14:52

One of the reasons you may strike pitch shots poorly is because you don’t achieve enough body rotation in your swing. A great drill to increase the amount of turn through the ball and improve your angle of attack is to hit some shots with the right foot up on its toes, as TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston explains in ...

Pre-round putting routine

Gareth Johnston, 02 December 2011 10:31

It’s very important to make the most of any spare time you get before you tee off, especially in a competition. Ultimately, on the greens is where shots are often lost, especially early on in the round. This ideal putting routine from TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston will not only help you gauge the pace of the greens but also ...

Shift the left knee for more power

Gareth Johnston, 25 August 2011 09:48

The golf swing is a continuous and flowing movement. There’s a point where the clubhead will be still at the top of the backswing as it changes direction, but that doesn’t mean the body shouldn’t be moving. As the backswing approaches its completion, you should be looking to start transferring your weight into your left side. A good way to ...

Be positive on short putts

Gareth Johnston, 25 August 2011 09:36

A good putting stroke comprises a gentle acceleration of the putter through the impact area. When club golfers swing the putter back too far, especially on shorter putts, the tendency then is for the putter face to over-rotate, making it more difficult to square it at impact. To combat this fault, you can place a tee behind the ball to ...

Swing long back and through for power

Gareth Johnston, 18 August 2011 16:04

When our backswing is too short, the downswing can become snappy in a bid to create power. This often means we lose control of the clubhead leading to off-centre strikes and poor distance from the tee. A good swing thought is to feel that the backswing and throughswing are both long but also equal in length. This will increase your ...

Squeeze the knees in the downswing

Gareth Johnston, 18 August 2011 15:53

Once we’ve loaded our weight in the left side to start the downswing, it’s important we keep turning through the shot to ensure our weight transfers fully towards the target and we don’t lose any clubhead speed. A good swing thought to adopt for this to occur is to feel that your back knee, the right knee for right-handed golfers, ...

Use your face-balanced putter more effectively

Gareth Johnston, 12 August 2011 13:56

Face-balanced putters are designed to stay much squarer throughout your putting stroke. This differs from toe-weighted putters that form the more blade-style, which are designed to rotate much more during the stroke. To use your face-balanced putter more effectively, form a gate of tees around your ball, as explained here by TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston. This helps keep the ...
