Swing Video
Video showing Taly – eliminating the flip
Feb 2nd
I came across this video on YouTube and I wanted to share this. For those of you who read the review of the Taly Mind Set, I wanted to provide a real world scenario of how it used to help golfers improve their swings. In this video Lynn Blake, the famed TGM teacher (The Golfing Machine), has a clinic and each student has a Taly Mind Set. Take a look at how he teaches and what he teaches. It is simple but effective. Similar to the drill I talk about in the article on achieving left wrist supination.
Enjoy and of course let me know if you have any questions about this.

Spotlight Swing: Hunter Mahan
Jan 11th
Hunter Mahan has a wonderful swing that we can learn from.
Hunter’s swing is uncomplicated and allows him to be very consistent. Watch how he gets on plane, and stays on the same plane coming down. There is no wasted movement, no extra effort added. It is a swing that conserves as much energy as possible to be transferred into the ball instead of into compensations.
Doesn’t it just look like a simple, repeatable motion?
Winter Golf Practice – Get the most out of it
Dec 15th
So you live in colder part of the country. Maybe there’s snow on the ground, maybe there isn’t but the temperature outside doesn’t make you want to hit the golf course. And it’ll be a while before spring arrives and melts the snow. What do you do to improve your game.
Actually winter golf practice can be extremely productive. Imagine that spring time comes around and not only are you not rusty but you feel like you’re ready to play the best golf of your life. Here are the essentials you need to make this your best winter practice session.
1. A quality golf mat
Nothing is more frustrating than hitting golf balls off rock hard mats at the driving range. They don’t provide realistic feedback. They don’t allow you to hit down and through the ball. The tees may not be adjustable or they are those rubber tubes. Yech!,
The Magic Golf Swing of Ben Hogan
Dec 11th
I love this video. Ben Hogan’s swing is so classic and there is so much to learn from it. Even on his short swings watch how he generates lag and delivers the club to the ball. Just beautiful. Hogan’s swing is the best example of what I talk about in my book. He is efficient and was known for amazing accuracy and shot making.
He never looks like he swings hard but he always hits it solid. Very inspirational.
Amazing driving range session – Swing Update
Dec 10th
Today I had an amazing driving range session. Let me set the stage. It’s 39 degrees here in CT and a bit windy. I wanted to see how my ball striking had become based on the practice I’ve been doing from my book, “8 Keys to Effortless Distance”.
I started out hitting it well, but right. I realized I wasn’t allowing the finish to happen, I was kind of tightening up through impact. So I did some half swings focusing only letting the finish happen. When I felt that I had it, I started hitting balls again.

I’ve been discussing the psychological effect of the ball on the swing over at GolfWRX and some very interesting things have come up. I want to synthesize the best nuggets of information from it, but I recommend reading it.
