Use A Chair For More Power
The Problem

Hitting powerless shots that have too much fade or slice spin with no consistency of contact.

The Cause

In the backswing, your lower body slides outside of your back foot.  This creates a reverse weight shift where the upper body leans to the target.  When this occurs, the lead shoulder gets too active and the club travels from out to in.




The Solution

Using a chair (or bag stand), turn your upper body over the chair without your lower body touching the chair. By replicating this feel, you will create a much more powerful and consistent top of backswing which in turn produces a better down swing
