His left hand was inner opposite left thigh, and he had about 55 percent pressure on his left side. Here, his sternum lined up over his belt buckle with a mid-iron, helping balance the upper center and lower center at address. Day 1: Golf setupĬooke had Allen make his spine more vertical from a face on perspective. Here’s what Cooke had Allen do to help correct the problem. Like Allen, too much pressure on the right side with the upper body leaning away from the target is a common mistake amateurs make. This is where Cooke decided to find the root cause of the issue: Allen’s setup. This made planning and playing a predictable ball flight extremely difficult! This was because his club path at impact was variable both to the left and right of 0 degrees, leading to an overly shallow angle of attack with his irons. Take a look below to see how he did it - and how you might be able to use the information to improve your own game!Īccording to Cooke, Allen (a right-handed player) started out with a few common ball-flight tendencies - pulling his irons left, and hitting high right with his driver. In today’s Shaving Strokes, GOLF Top 100 Teacher Tim Cooke explains how he helped a 17.5-handicap named Allen improve to a 12.1-handicap.Ĭooke told me that Allen began as a “17.5-handicap who was trending in the wrong way.” But after using the following steps from Cooke, Allen has shaved five strokes off his scorecard. So seeing a player improve is always fun - especially when you can get inside access from the teacher, revealing what steps the player used to get better. While we all compete to beat one another on the golf course, in the end, we root for each other. It can be simple things (like fixing a golf setup) to something more complex (like a full-blown swing adjustment). One of the many benefits I get from being GOLF’s Instruction Editor is hearing stories about the major gains that average golfers make. Welcome to Shaving Strokes, a new series in which we’re sharing improvements, learnings and takeaways from amateur golfers just like you - including some of the speed bumps and challenges they faced along the way.
