5 weird golf hacks that surprisingly work

1: Swing at 80 percent power
More power does not equal more distance. Full send makes you tense and the path goes everywhere. Back off to 80 percent and the ball usually goes further with better contact

2: Practice putts from 3 feet only
Tour players make 96 percent from 3 feet. Amateurs make 76 percent. That gap costs you strokes. Drill 3 footers from different angles until you can make 25 in a row

3: Look at the front of the ball
Instead of keeping your head down focus on the front quarter of the ball closest to the target. Your body rotates through better and you stop chunking and topping

4: Chip with a putting grip
Yips come from hand tension. Use your putting grip on chips inside 20 yards. Wrists quiet down and the motion becomes a pendulum. Softer contact and better roll

5: Tee the ball lower on par 3s
Everyone tees it high. That’s backwards for an iron. Lower the tee until just a quarter inch of ball is above the ground. Promotes a descending blow more spin and better trajectory

They feel weird at first but the scores drop

Which one are you trying first?

One of my favorite drills to learn extension. Put the club down on the ground a few feet behind the ball. Then using your hips and letting your arms follow, drag the club through the shot.🏌🏻‍♂️⛳

Drivers and irons require different swings. Here's how to groove each of them.

Tommy Fleetwood showing you want you need to do if you want to shift forward in your downswing, lean the shaft forward & compress the golf ball

Not long ago, there was a post where Tommy spoke about his feel being "close the door" with his lead hip

Nahhh. He might "feel" that, but that's not what he does. There is PLENTY of lateral shift here with his lower body. Most recreational golfers need more of this!

PS: He's potentially hitting a lower shot here for context

If you want to learn how to do this movement Tommy is doing, I have a video I can send you for free in the link below 👇

Imagine how good your ball striking would be if you practiced like this for 5 minutes a day

[GolfTrainingAids.com @GolfTrainAids]

Johnny Miller breaks down a drill Jack Nicklaus shared with him, focusing on maintaining the angle in the wrists and keeping the trail elbow in position at the start of the downswing.

That move can help create better sequencing, more effortless power, and a more consistent path into impact. It also helps address common swing flaws like casting, coming over the top, and the movements that often lead to a slice.

That’s why this drill pairs so well with both the Pro-Slot and the Right Angle.

The Pro-Slot helps train better wrist and arm structure so you can maintain your angles longer, find the slot, and avoid releasing the club too early.

The Right Angle helps train better timing and release with audible feedback, giving you a simple way to feel when your arms are staying in position and when the club is releasing at the right point in the downswing.

Train the move. Feel the difference. Build a swing you can trust.

Moe Norman never believed the modern swing was simpler. No wasted motion. No digging trenches. No manipulation. Just clean geometry and repeatable impact, ball after ball. The golf world said unorthodox; Moe said easier. 👉 https://t.co/5jbp60PLiB
