🔔 TEMPO & RHYTHM 🎶

All great golfers have amazing tempo & rhythm in their golf swings that allow them to create effortless power and maintain balance.

The Penguin walk drill (named by a former junior golfer 🐧) is a fantastic way to help golfers find their perfect tempo and rhythm. If you have a junior golfer I would have them do this all the time. If you can learn how to master this drill you are well on your way to becoming a great golfer.

How to create more backswing turn!!

Hip tightness and lack or rotational ability is something that plagues many players we see in almost every @mytpi physical screen.

2 simple ways to help create more natural turn can be done before we swing the club.

1. Turn your trail foot out 15-20 degrees… maybe even 30 degrees for some of you.
2. Drop your tail foot back 2 inches. This will close your stance and preset your hip turn.

Focus on getting activation and load into trail glute when making backswing.

Send us a dm to schedule your TPI assessment today to see what you can do to play better golf!!⛳️

I’ve seen this a bunch in recent lessons with students trail legs moving toward the ball and crowding their impact spacing.

Use this drop step drill to maintain that space and allow your arms room to swing.

This is also a great drill for those of you that come over the top and slice the ball.

Set your self up for success with correct set up. All you need is an alignment stick or golf club.

I find many golfers struggle with getting proper setup. Often times their upper body is facing too far open at address and their upper and lower body is not aligned. This makes it very hard to be consistent as they will have to make compensation moves to try and correct the poor address position.

Stock irons - we want the chest stacked over the pelvis with minimal offset(chest aligned to trail side more than pelvis). Any offset is due to trail hand being lower than lead hand meaning shoulders should naturally have small tilt.

Stock Driver/Launch the irons - more tilt at address with chest alignment now noticeably behind pelvis. This helps promote a more inside out pattern to help the driver and add height to irons if desired.

Launch The Driver - if you are wanting to carry your drive to the moon 🌕 then adding some extra tilt can help with this. Have your alignment stick touch the inside of your lead leg.

First let me say as a coach I love to focus and attention from my junior student. I can’t wait to see her potential over the next several years.

Now to the drill. For players that have excessive slide into their lead side the step out drill is an amazing drill. You have probably seen videos of Matthew Fitzpatrick doing this on the range which he used to help reduce his slide as well.

With this drill players learn to push through the lead toes and redirect the force to push the hips back and create rotation.

If you slide past your lead leg in your swing give this drill a try.

31 Days until Round 1 of the @pga Professional Championship @bandondunesgolf. Thanks to @trackmangolf for having this amazing resort available to play.

Been super busy opening @elev8_gc and finally took some time for practice. Very happy with swing even with the little practice. Sometimes taking a little time off clears the mind.

Now it’s grind time 😎.

🔥Impressive changes in 1 session for @gavinroth711 🔥.

Came in tightening the quick hooks from a quick closing face. This was due to loss of posture and rotation through impact by having his hips jump thrusting forward instead of creating space.

After a quick @mytpi we identified only a few physical limitations but did have some pelvic control.

We used a @theforcepedal under his lead toes to help drive the hips back as well as a wedge under his trail heel to force the trial hip from pushing too far forward.

Looking forward to seeing what this young man can do this coming spring season for his HS team!!
