Category: Inconsistency

Your Grip Can Reduce Power

If your thumb is extended too far, it will weaken your grip and prevent a proper wrist cock. A poor wrist movement will prevent you from squaring the clubface through impact. This is due to bringing the shaft too far back at the top of your swing and casting the club early in the downswing.

Tension Kills the Game

When your arms are too tense, it prevents a natural flowing swing, then the ball will fly erratically and you will lose distance.

Consistent Pitching

You do not have the feel for pitching or are not very consistent at it. If you square your body to the target line, you will end up flicking your hands to help attempt to make clean contact.

Improve Your Downswing

The ball skips or hits the ground when teeing off before it rises into the air. Very often, this is because the person favors their irons, where they are used to making more of a downward blow at impact.

Playing Under Pressure Kills Your Score

Adrenaline will cause you to swing faster and lose your rhythm as you build tension in your game.

Gradually Accelerate for a Better Swing

Swinging too hard will cause a bad transition from the top of your swing and will lead to poor timing and inconsistency.

Chip with Your Hybrid

Poor chipping and iron play from just off the green.

Stop Flubbing Your Wedges

Wedge shots that fly short and unpredictably.

Barefoot Drill

Poor balance due to swinging too hard.

Consistent Ball Striking

Straightening out your hips during the backswing or a having a poor tempo can cause poor and inconsistent contact with the ball.
