Most golfers lose power before they even start the downswing.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is a narrow takeaway that gets the club too far inside. A simple body pillow drill can help you create more width, keep the club on plane, and set yourself up for more consistent power and accuracy.

Try this drill the next time you’re at home or on the range, and let me know how it feels!

If you’re in the Brunswick, St. Simons Island, Sea Island, or Golden Isles area and want to improve your swing, send me a message or book a lesson. I’d love to help you play your best golf.

Think your short backswing is caused by your shoulders? Think again. 👀

Most golfers blame a lack of upper body rotation, but more often than not, it's your hips that are limiting your backswing.

In this quick video, I'll explain why hip rotation is so important and show you a simple drill you can start using today to increase your backswing length, improve your turn, and generate more power.

Try the drill and let me know in the comments if it helped your swing! ⛳

Single arm rows are a key exercise for golfers looking to enhance their rotary power. By strengthening the major muscles in the back, this movement helps maintain optimal posture throughout the backswing and follow-through. Additionally, single arm rows engage the obliques in anti-rotation, promoting rotary stability—a critical factor for a powerful and controlled golf swing. This exercise also addresses asymmetric overuse by balancing muscle strength, counteracting the effects of explosive, one-sided swings. Incorporate single arm rows into your golf fitness routine to improve your performance on the course.
