Whip Less

Problem

You swing too much with your arms.

Cure

Work on creating a better turn by improving your flexibility. The more you try to make a better turn and keep your upper body in sync with your arms, the better your swing will be. It is common for a player to want to whip the clubhead as fast as possible but it is important to remember that you can swing faster at 85 percent power.

Therapy

Swing club with only your trailing arm. Notice how gravity pulls the clubhead down the target line naturally. This is the feeling you want to have when you have both hands on the club. This may mean you need to relax more to gain this feeling or simply turn more and whip your arms less.
