  1. Am I the only who notices that Rory walking away from the tee has the frustration look on his face? It seems like he is frustrated with the club and not happy with the results he is getting regardless of the distanced achieved.

    I don't know maybe I am reading into it, but his face genuinely looks like he is frustrated with the club.

  2. This may seem obvious or useless but it’s actually excellent advice. I almost gave the game up because I kept hitting 50 yard hooks into the ground. Turned out I was taking the club back way inside on the backswing. Took lessons and this was the main teaching point.

  3. Have a look at all pros. They hit it "late" (lag the club with timing and tempo) and the club moves down the target line after impact for 20cm. The rest is practice and talent. Any other teaching is moot if they aren't trying to get to this basic principle of hitting the ball towards the target from the middle of the face.

  4. The opposite of what Rory did when he was winning majors in 2011-2015. He used to have a great classic swing, taking it slightly inside on the way back then over the top of the back swing plane on the downswing, but straight down the target line. He hit the ball straighter then.

  5. Love this. I've been watching Porzak Golf lately because they explained the "club in front" in a way that made something click for me. Specifically, the results of doing the 10 and 10 drill at the range. Good stuff.
