‼️YOU DON’T NEED A LONG BACK SWING TO BE A GREAT GOLFER!‼️

One of my all-time favorite swing thoughts!
“Shoulder to your chin, then go!”
This quote has had a huge impact on my game and is probably one of the main reasons I eventually developed a really compact golf swing. The truth is, you don’t need an enormous shoulder turn or a backswing that looks like John Daly’s to hit the ball really well. What you actually need is a consistent move that allows you to hit the ball in the center of the club-face as often as possible. When you get a second, you should look up the golf statistic
“smash factor,” and take a look at the golf swings that have lead that statistic on the PGA tour over the last 10 years. You know what you’re gonna see? A guy named Jason Dufner, and the most money golf swing that exists.
Aside from good music, good food, and cool spots to travel, my other favorite discussion topic is “smash factor.” I’m here for it anytime. But for now try this swing thought, put it in play and watch how a compact and smooth golf swing is more effective than just about anything out there.

Pedal down! Be grateful, be present, and good luck out there, y’all!

"Shoulder to your chin, then go!" — what a swing thought! Compact and simple, and that ball flight speaks for itself. A quiet mind and a compact move is a great combo.

Great feel, however sometimes I’ve had heavy contact with irons doing this. Do I need to consciously focus on pressure shift at the same time?
