One of the keys to improving your consistency is finding the right tempo for your swing. Tempo is simply the rhythm of your swing – the cadence of your backswing and downswing. Maintaining a consistent tempo will improve your ball contact, your accuracy, and your distance control. It’s worth spending some time on the range ...…
One of the most critical steps you can take to improve the consistency of your golf swing is to get yourself into athletic balance. Balance is so fundamental you more than likely take it for granted.

It was turning into a habit, and making his slice worse. …
I’m staying with my low energy swings to protect my shoulder and make sure it doesn’t get any worse. That means it is a good time to work on fundamentals. As I was practicing the other day I kept trying to understand why it felt difficult to make my normal turn. What I discovered was ...…
Well, I mentioned that this journey wouldn’t be without its trials and tribulations. A couple of days ago I did a long drive clinic and exhibition for one of my corporate clients. It was fun and everybody had a good time, but I was hitting uphill, into the wind all day for groups as they ...…
