Finding the right arm coming down without straightening the body allows RS players to trap the ball and get consistent flight and contact. The key is understanding the body and the first move. In this video Gary explains how to get into the perfect position going back with the body and the arms.
Side Throw and Step
Gary has used the ‘step in drill’ for many years to get people to master the throwing shape. In Lacrosse the side arm throw is equally as difficult to master but shares many of the same principles. If you can learn to do this drill correctly, you can simplify your swing, get more shaft speed […]
Shift without Lift
Tiger has changed the way he generates speed and has developed a more upper body hitting motion. It is possible to shift weight and get speed without lifting and dropping and changing levels. In this video Gary talks about modern instruction, using your legs correctly, and how to shift weight without falling backwards with your […]
Trajectory Control: Wind and Uphill Lies
To hit the ball low of an uphill slope is a difficult thing to do but it is often the key to playing successful golf in the wind and on links courses. Many players say that this shot is the ultimate test. If they can hit this shot they know their swings will hold up […]
The First Move Down
So many golfers get too steep coming down and can’t come around at the ball without it pulling left or slicing. When the body and the club-face are have the correct relationship going back the first move down can feel easy, like there is more room and more time. In this Lesson Gary explains the […]
Trajectory, True Loft and Radius
Great ball strikers can hit the ball through the same window every time and can hit it straight. Australian legend, Peter Senior, won the annual RSS Tournament last month and gave some great advice in at this clinic about making the game simple and the importance of understanding your swing in tournaments. Brad Lamb also […]
Covering the Longer Clubs
If you want to be a consistent player your technique needs to work right through the bag. Some players hit their short irons and wedges well but can’t cover and flight the longer clubs. In this Tour Lesson PGA Tour winner, Keith Clearwater, asks Gary how his players cover the ball with the longer clubs.
Fixing Steep
The only way to get a decent flight is to have a flat spot at the bottom of your swing. Golfers that try to hit down usually pull the club down. If you pull the club down it will get narrow and steep, and you won’t have much of a flat spot. In this new […]
Learning to Coil
Learning to Coil correctly is the key to developing direct arm and shaft speed coming down. People who don’t start correctly almost always over-turn or tilt in the first move. In this new video Gary demonstrates how the correct arm structure and posture enable you to get a coil, and easily develop a more powerful […]
Top-Half Hitting
The most consistent ball strikers get their speed in front of them and are top-half hitters. Players that shift laterally with their legs or do not have ‘Shape’ have to use their knees more. In this lesson Gary outlines the main ingredients in becoming a top-half player.
