If you've been around Graves Golf for some time, you'll have heard us talk about Two Birds with One Stone. It's a core philosophy for us and an excellent piece of work that I'd recommend if you need a brushing up on how your golf game is connected. If you are receiving this email, then you are a part of Graves Golf On-Demand, and have access to Two Birds with One Stone, as well as our entire arsenal of golf learning we've put together over the years. As far as the tip today goes, I would normally explain mechanical things here, or tell a story, but today I'd like to give you all an analogy. Ever since I was a teenager, I've loved nature documentaries. Sir Attenborough, BBC Studios Natural Histories, Martha Holmes, you name it. The thought I'd like to leave you with today is that your golf game is not a sum of its parts, rather, it is an ecosystem. While each skill you can learn as a golfer is great, and will make some sort of impact to your overall game, there are core pieces that will support it in every aspect. For as something as vast, and intricate as the ocean is, the entire thing is held up by the tiniest of plankton and plant life. Today's overall topic in the quick tip is shaft lean, but eluding back to the analogy, this is one of the fundamental pieces of your golf ecosystem, and will feed into every part of your game.
PS: We have been kicking off our 25th anniversary celebration this month, and I'd like to wrap today's writing up by saying thank you all for the support. A lot goes into what we do behind the scenes, but seeing you all congratulating us and enjoying the festivities in last week's webinar was a lovely reminder of what we do all of this for. Thank you for your support of our vision. Here's to many more years of helping golfers play better and play longer. Cheers!

Folks, we've had a lot of position talk recently, and rightfully so. Your positions make up the beating heart of your swing, and it all starts with grip and address. We are going to be talking about the former today, and there is one major takeaway I'd like to leave you with. Things like molded g...

Quick Tip - Unity VS Separation
Throughout my time writing these Quick Tips, I have learned that while position 0 and position 4 are my personal choices for the most important moments of the swing, positions 2 and 3 are by far the most asked about. That makes sense, as 2 and 3 are both very mechanically demanding positions that...

Quick Tips - Overswinging
"You're swinging too hard, stop trying to muscle the ball." Ever heard that one? I definitely have. Putting too much effort into a swing is a real thing, and yes, it will break your swing down entirely, but what is overswinging? On paper, I know what it is, but I'm learning that overswinging is g...
