6 year old Jack Chapleski is part of the BHSG Junior Development Program.  The program focuses on creating rotational velocity movement patterns.  Check out this video of Jack doing a ball slam in golf posture.  The purpose of this drill is to create explosive downard rotational force.  The main idea is to teach our juniors to make athletic movements that will create speed when swinging the golf club.  Notice how this movement pattern is similar to a golf swing. 

Gaurav Ghei, Asian Tour Member, flew into Dubai from India last week to work on his game before heading out to Korea.  Gaurav has a habit of spinning out his hips too early on his downswing.  This can cause him to hit low hooks with his irons and high weak blocks to the right with his driver.  Here is a video of Gaurav working on a constant swing drill for his problem.  He takes his normal setup, then drops his trail leg (right leg) back behind his lead leg (left leg) and gets up onto the toe of his trail leg and keeps all his wegiht on his lead leg.  As he swings into impact, his lead leg stabilizes as he comes into impact, and his hips don't spin out.  This is a great drill to try if your hips work too much during your swing.

Here at the BHSG, we have an eight camera putter studio.  Check out this video and hear about how we can help you putt better.

The bunker shot should be the easiest shot in golf, as it is the only shot were you don't have to hit the ball.  Check out this cool high speed video of a greenside bunker shot.  First, notice how open the clubface is at address.  This allow the club to bounce through the sand.  If the face is too square at address it will dig into the sand too much at impact.  Also, notice how the club works straight back and works up on a steep plane off the ball.  The club needs to work steep off the ball.  If it works back too shallow your arc will be too shallow and you will either hit too far behind the ball or catch the shot thin.  This is a great angle to see how the golf club exits through impact.  Notice how the club works down the line toward the target, not across the target line.  I see too many players swinging too much across their bodies in the bunker. 

Lee Westwood was at the BHSG recently tuning up his game for the Masters.  We worked on trying to get Lee more into his right side at the top of his backswing, which shortens his arm swing.  This allows the club to be very stable at the top and Lee can fire his arms right down his target line. 

Wallace Booth, aka Bravehart, rolled through the BHSG recently to work on his game. Wallace helped Scotland win the 2008 Eisenhower Trophy in Australia.  This kid can bring it on the course and in the gym.  Do you have this kind of explosive power?!
