It’s amazing how staying centered in the swing increases the G-Forces and allows the club to track on a rail and get more speed and compression; and the best way to stay centered is on one leg! See one of the best drills in the business of learning and perfecting one’s golf swing!

    This video seems to imply that we pivot on our legs, when in fact we pivot on our hip joints.
    The legs support the hips.
    The trail leg back drill forces the pivot on the lead hip, rather than hanging back on the trail hip in DS. it also ensures we stay “inside” the ball.

    If we simply point our butt hole behind our lead heel at address, we ensure our pivot is correct every swing.
    Its described best in ” The Hogan Manual of Performance Sport: GOLF”, 1992.

    Shawn… have you noticed that tennis players jump off the ground to gain more racket head speed? How could a golfer do the same to increase clubhead speed? Any thoughts on how to jump up during the downswing??

      Don’t hold your breath waiting for Shawn to reply. He’s notoriously absent on this forum… he dumps and runs.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.

Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.

You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.
