I truly believe the stuff in this week's episode is going to DRAMATICALLY help your swing.

It's with a coach we haven't seen on the channel in 7+years?! And one of my favorite guys to hang out with.

If you're like me you're going to be trying these practical drills while your watching along with the video. Don't miss it!

​

In this issue:

• The 30-minute practice session almost nobody does (free printable card below)
• The Decade app looks brand new (and a code to save on it)
• The travel bag I always recommend.

Is a Resistance Band the Secret to FINALLY Fixing Your Swing? 👀

This weeks guest on the show is Jackson Koert​

I'd seen Jackson posting tons of videos on Instagram of his students using resistance bands to make some great swing changes.

So I went down to Jacksonville, Florida, to Atlantic Beach Country Club, where he's based, to investigate. And boy did we learn some good stuff.

Jackson summed up the whole approach in one line:

What has stuck with me after filming this video...

I do the pivot punch drill for the backswing and through swing all the time now, even without a band. I'll run it as part of my warm-up, or as a practice swing to get that feel. It's really really helped.

​
What else is in the full video

• The drill that stops your head from dropping in the backswing
• A band setup that kills the hip slide most amateurs never feel
• The early-extension fix that keeps you in posture without thinking about it
• The "lawnmower" that gave my swing an effortless feeling.

​

If you've hung out around this channel long enough, you probably remember Jackson from the Golf Science Lab days. Did a bunch of videos with him back then.

And if you need to pick up a band, check out Tony Ruggiero's Dew Sweeper Pivot Pack. It's got a band plus a few other tools that'll help you pivot better.

Wedge Practice on a Budget

Everybody wants to get better at their wedges.

But almost nobody practices them well enough to actually get better.

Step 1. Practice with a launch monitor.

Honestly, it can be as simple as just giving you a carry distance.

This past weekend I wanted to test two affordable options under $300, to make sure the data was good and they'd actually be useful.

Both the Shot Scope LM1 and the Stack were almost identical on every single shot on the carry distance. I'd say both are great options.

If I'm picking one, I'd go with the Stack. Just for the app. The wedge games and the testing you can do in there are great

Step 2. Write down what you learn.

Full swing, 3/4, half. What's the average you're seeing for each of your wedges?

Write it down and keep it in your bag.

If you don't, you're going to forget it. I can guarantee that.

Thanks for being a GolfWell subscriber and hanging out with me on a weekly basis!

I genuinely hope the stuff here is helping you play better golf week after week.
​
Also, I'm pretty sure this 👇 is unrelated, but you never know, so stay safe with your resistance bands out there.

Have a great week!
