Quick Tip - Iron Address
Full Swing

We were talking kinematic sequence last week, today I'd like to continue that talk, but boil it down to one part of the body. If you saw the title of the email, you know that we will be talking about iron address, specifically feet placement. The Alignment and Ball Position Trainer sorts all that out for you. I assume y'all know that already, I'm talking with the folks who are dedicated to their game here, and I'm not here to sell you anything anyways. That being said, let's talk about just why foot position is so important. When you're making athletic movements, power that is generated has to go somewhere. The kinematic sequence is basically a progression of how that power transfers from place to place. The destination is always the same: that power goes to the ground. Having the appropriate width of your base will allow you to generate the optimal power, and give your body the optimal base to rotate around to generate the ideal ball trajectory. Join Tim Graves, PGA, as he goes over how exactly your feet are supposed to be set up, with irons and other clubs in the bag as well.

Quick Tips - Loosen Up
When it comes to generating speed, there is an extremely common way that golfers, and in truth most athletes, hold themselves back. Back in the baseball days, we did velocity testing, and naturally, I'd throw the ball as hard as possible. Turns out, the last few throws when I was tired, and thus ...
