Not necessarily, depends how fast it is now.  Really slow backswings typically lead to bad tempo, at least from what I've seen.  I don't mean people to speed up the backswing to fix everything, but it shouldn't be "slow."  Pro's generally have a fast paced swing from backswing to finish.

I don't know about your students, but when I hit my tee shots longer, I also hit more greens, and hit it closer.  That's a function of having shorter shots to the greens.  So improving driving is a si

I very seldom try to speak for others, but I don't think you'll find many (any?) people on this forum who would ever recommend an approach like the bold one.  A 14-handicapper should generally be doin

I actually stopped reading when I saw "vs" in the title Sorry, I want both.  that just means a better swing. Or, as my swing got better, guess what, I got gains in both.  It shoudn't be a tr

I neither hit it far nor accurately today. Wish I had the choice of one or the other.

I don’t see that too often, but you’re the instructor 😊

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      No rain while I was out (9am to 11:30am). Fairly pleasant for a late November day in the Mitten.

      70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲
