As promised, here’s more from Monte Scheinblum, the golf instructor in cargo shorts. In these videos he focuses on the shoulder turn, and gives some drills on how to improve on your own. I think the majority of high handicap golfers really struggle to make a proper shoulder turn, and Monte does a great job of explaining how you can make yours better.

If you like Monte’s style, check out his new instructional page at The Swing Surgeon.

Enjoy!

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve spent more time on the computer than I’d like to admit watching slow motion video of PGA players. Out of all the videos I’ve watched, there is one golfer’s swing who I enjoy the most, and that is Sean O’Hair. Here are some videos of Sean doing his thing.

If you spend anytime online reading about the golf swing, you probably know the importance of a flat left wrist at impact. If you are like the majority of golfers out there, and you have a hard time keeping your left wrist flat because of an early release or because of flipping, then these two videos are for you.

Enjoy!

Ben Hogan is probably my favorite golfer of all time. His book, “Five Lessons” pretty much taught me the fundamentals of my swing I’ve been using for years. So when the guy actually speaks up and gives us a swing tip, we darn well better listen!

A Tip From The Man Himself

In my last post, I featured some videos from Jeff Evans. Remember how he talks about the trigger finger pressure point of the right hand? How is this for validation!

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ve been finding a lot of great instructors who are active participants in the GolfWRX forum. Jeff Evans is another one of these great instructors. He is a certified Golfing Machine instructor and creator of a cool little training aid called the “Pure Ball Striker.”

In the videos bellow, Jeff talks about the importance of the sweet spot, how to grip the club to properly utilize the sweet spot, and then how the trailing index finger can be used to control the sweet spot. It might be a bit advanced for some begining golfers, but at the very least, the video on the grip should be watched closely.

Enjoy!
