Increase Clubhead Speed This Winter

There's one thing all great ball strikers have in common...

We've all heard the term "swinging on plane" and getting your swing "in the slot" but what do those things really mean and how can they help your golf swing? First let's talk about what the term "on plane" means. Essentially, on plane means swinging the club on the same line that is formed by your club shaft at address. Below is a picture to help show you what the swing plane is.

We hear a lot about match ups in the golf swing, but what does it really mean and how does it help your golf game? To answer that question simply, there is no perfect golf swing and there is no perfect way to swing the club but the different pieces of the swing do have to compliment each other and not work against each other.

How about if you were standing in a mud pit? Or floating in a pool? We immediately know that we probably couldn't generate much power because we aren't able to use the ground very efficiently. Although we don't think about it much, how we use the ground is a very important element to our success level in golf. From the way we shift our pressure in the backswing and downswing to the way we use the ground to compress and jump up through the ball, we can use the ground to our advantage, an advantage that all great players use. Some simple ideas such as how much pressure we put into our lead foot at set up, or how we shift into our backswing can really help you reach your golfing goals.

There's nothing more frustrating than missing another green after hitting a great drive...
