How keeping your head down hurts your golf swing’s ability to get through the ball. Think you should keep your head down? Then why do so many tour players including 2 NUMBER 1 IN THE WORLD players do the COMPLETE OPPOSITE? Many of you have been misguided by the old myth of keeping your head down during your golf swing when in reality, our anatomy can’t allow us to do that in the action of the golf swing. David Duval and Annika Sorenstam repeatedly proved that, as top world ranked golfers of their time, you can move your head through impact and have a successful result.

Knudson vs. Tursky: “3-Club Challenge” (with a Ben Hogan driver from the 1960s)

Published

on

Recently, ahead of the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, GolfWRX.com’s “Two Guys Talking Golf” podcast hosts Brian Knudson and Andrew Tursky played a 3-Club Challenge at Rackham Golf Course in Huntington Woods, Michigan.

Tursky, as a scratch golfer, used a 3-club set, while Knudson, a 9-handicapper, used his full bag.

The rules were simple: Play a 9-hole match play at Rackham’s back nine. Every time Tursky makes a par or birdie, he gets to add a club to the bag. Every time Tursky makes a double bogey or worse, he removes a club from the bag.

The catch was that Knudson got to pick the clubs that Tursky had to use, and he didn’t make things easy. Knudson had Tursky start with a Ben Hogan persimmon driver with a steel shaft, a Ben Hogan Apex blade 7-iron with a G-Loomis IMX Boron shaft, and a Cleveland RTX ZipCore “Sip Groove” 52-degree promotional wedge, with an extremely light swing weight.

Check out the full match (plus a bonus double-or-nothing 18th hole!) in the video at the top of the page.

Clement: The key to making your practice swing your actual swing

Published

If I had a dollar for every time I hear a golfer say, “My practice swing looks and feels great but when I go to the ball…”

Here is a major reason why that is and you will not hear this from any other teaching academy except ours (for years) for the moment. And it works for every single golfer!
