by Mike Dero I’ve always struggled with getting correctly aligned so that my golf balls travels in my intended direction – I just assumed I was directionally impaired. I watched all the videos that talked about visualizing railroad tracks, parallel lines, etc. Problem is there are no railroad tracks on the golf course, and it
by Mike Dero In the previous video Mike Dero showed us an excellent routine for making sure we are correctly aligned to the target. Since most of us don’t have a caddie to stand behind us, this is an essential skill. During the filming of the video one of the club members came by, and
by Mike Dero We all want more distance, and most of us know that the distance holy grail is club head speed. But what exactly is club head speed, where does it come from and are we actually capable of increasing our club head speed, or are we just genetically constrained? In this video Mike
by Stan Geer Senior golfers always strive to hit the ball longer, but this often comes at the expense of accuracy. So if you are a senior golfer, you need to ask yourself what is more important, getting more yardage or keeping the ball in play. Of course the ego in all of us often

The incidence of golf related back pain is reported to be somewhere between 18% and 60%, depending on which report you
by Jim Venetos The holy grail of golf, the inside to out swing, seems to elude most of us. I have a friend that has a really good golf game – but he gets there with a natural fade. And yet, he has become obsessed with developing an inside to out swing so he can
by Alistair Davies The concept of flipping your hands at impact is not something I had heard ever been conscious of. However, when I took a few practice swings, I realized that I do flip my hands, but I can’t tell yet if it is at, or, after impact. In this video Alistair Davies explores
by Mike Dero How many times have you found your ball either in, or around a bunker, in what can only be described as a pretty weird lie. It’s the kind of lie that makes you wish you were a contortionist. Well in this video Mike Dero teaches you how to adjust your body in
by Stan Geer I’m sure you’ve heard it said that bunker shots are one of the easiest in golf; heck, you don’t even have to hit the ball. While that may be true for golf professionals, who sometimes even bail out into a bunker, that generally is not the case for the everyday golfer. Witness
