Welcome to the final part of the Strike Series - How To Improve Your Ball Striking.
So far we have covered:
Ball Then Turf Strikes ✅
Low Point Control ✅
Now we finish it off with the final piece: Club Path.
Because once your strike is improving, the next step is making sure the ball is actually starting and finishing where you want it to…
Why path matters…
If your club is:
Shooting too far out in front of you ❌
Or getting stuck too far behind you ❌
You’ll start to see:
Curved shots ❌
Poor direction ❌
And even inconsistent strike ❌
So we need a simple way to help your arms and body work together in the downswing. Let’s get stuck in…
Why this works…
This swing drill will help you keep:
✔ Arm path connected to your body
✔ Club path more neutral
✔ Strike and direction working together
Instead of arms and body fighting each other, which is so often the case among amateur golfers and where most problems come from.
If you haven’t already, go back and run through all three parts to get the full picture. Here are some links to help you find the videos in question:
Combine all the ideas we have spoken about in this 3-part series together, put some time into practicing and you’ll have:
Better ball striking ✅
Better control ✅
And much more consistent golf ✅

Something close to my heart…
What I would consider my home club (where I grew up learning the game of golf) is in the process of raising funds for a cancer charity that is close to my heart, and that of some of the members who helped me on my way in the world of golf.
If there is anything you can contribute to the cause, no matter how big or small, please use the QR code below.
No pressure, no expectations, just some charitable outreach on my part if this is something you can get behind…
I hope you enjoyed this issue and it helps your game!
Please reply to this email with requests for future topics you would like me to cover.
Have a great Easter weekend!
