GURU TV – How To Free Up Your Driver Swing Using Visualization

July 30, 2011

As I wrapped up my last day of family vacation at Beautiful Fripp Island, I couldn’t resist the urge to shoot some video. So I hired my daughter as my film crew (which cost me several virgin Pina Colata’s) and my wife even shot some behind the scenes footage of Guru TV. I included this really cool shot of me hitting the shot as she got me just after impact. This a great image that I think will help you hit more fairways. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to share with your friends and leave a comment below.

Only the most patient and creative of players will survive this unusual test. Here is an archive video that I did last year for the Open Championship. Enjoy!

Guru TV – Body Pivot Options: Neutral vs. Positive

June 24, 2011

The body is the engine of the swing. After you train the hands and arms effectively then you can focus on your body pivot. In the past I have talked about matching components. Different pieces put together correctly that allow you to swing the club on the correct swing plane. You can’t get these mixed up or you will not hit the ball your best. Here are the different combinations that I prescribe for the best results:

Neutral Pivot (Option 1) – steeper shoulder plane, higher right hip, centered head position. I recommend coupling with a flatter hand/arm plane to balance out the swing.

Chad Campbell – Option 1

Positive Pivot (Option 2) – flatter shoulder plane, level hips, spine tilted away from target. Head moves a half of a head away from target. I recommend a more a more upright arm plane to match. Requires a bigger slide forward with the hips and hand drop from the top to balance out hsp.

Ryan Moore Option 2

Guru jr. TV – How to Hit a 5 Iron Straight featuring Nicklaus Sutton

June 23, 2011

Ever since baseball has finished, my 10-year-old son, Nicklaus Palmer, has really taken to golf which makes me so proud as I think every golf pro wants their kids to enjoy the game. Nick has been tagging along with me to work the last couple of days and has been practicing very hard and having a great time. He was the camera man on my latest Guru TV video that you will see shortly and asked if he could do his own tip so I said, “sure Guru Jr.” This was the first and only take and I think he did a great job and makes a great swing considering it was my club and not his junior club. I hope you enjoy Nicklaus Palmers debut as I am a very proud father. We have played a lot of golf in the last month which has been very cool for the both of us. “Great job son, I love you and I hope you enjoy this great game for a lifetime.”
