About Ross Eves Golf
Ross Eves Golf is all about improving your golf. From golf fitness, to golf biomechanics to beginner’s golf tips!
So, what’s my background?
Well, as most professional golfers my dream was to play professionally. However, that dream was a little lofty for someone with my talent. So, I decided to take a different route. This route was to investigate the science behind getting better, specially how to hit the ball further! After all, who doesn’t want to hit the ball further.
This desire to learn how to increase swing speed lead me to investigate the body in terms of golf fitness and golf biomechanics. This interest in golf fitness lead me to complete TPI Level 1 and 2; become a qualified massage therapist and then extend that knowledge by completing a Masters degree.
During my Masters, I focused my research solely on increasing club head speed through golf fitness interventions. This line of scientific enquiry provided me with first evidence and golf fitness routines which would increase swing speed and hence increase club head speed. Personally, I found this research to be extremely helpful, and I increased club head speed by 15mph (from 100mph to 115mph) within 1 year.
After this I have turned my attention to the biomechanics of the golf swing. This combination of golf biomechanics and golf fitness knowledge allows me to provide coaching to all levels to help increase club head speed.

Hi. If you notice his shaft positioning during the swing… JD is good at hitting what I call "5 Times Parallel."
"Whenever the shaft is level to the ground… it should be parallel to the target line." This should happen 5 times during a golf swing.
This will produce a swing that is on plane, and that plane is parallel to the target line.
If the clubface is squared correctly, the result is a dead straight ball flight, straight at your target.
I would say that he likely hit a teeny, butter fade on this swing… as at the last (5th) level/parallel position…the shaft is pointed just little left of parallel to the target line. 😉
How many backs did Jim McClain hurt ? At least he admitted he was wrong . I like how stacked JD is at the top, one of the keys for good iron striking. Nice analysis btw.
