3 minute read

Are you struggling with how to break 100 in golf and looking for ways to improve your game? In this video, we will discuss essential techniques to help you create better strikes off the clubface, launch the ball higher, and develop a consistent draw. By focusing on the differences between a driver and iron swing and understanding proper head and shoulder movement, you can dramatically improve your game and finally break 100.

Understanding the Driver and Iron Swing:

To improve your golf game, it's crucial to understand the differences between a driver and iron swing. With a driver, the ball position should be inside your lead foot, and you should have a slight tilt to swing up on the ball. This allows you to launch the ball high into the air. With an iron, you set up to swing down on the ball and compress it, taking the ball and then the turf.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

One of the most common errors we see in golfers struggling to break 100 is improper pivoting during the driver swing. Many players stay on top of the ball without any movement off of it, leading to swings that are too high or too low. This results in pop-ups or low pulls, which can severely impact your score.

The Key to Proper Head and Shoulder Movement:

To create a perfect swing and break 100 in golf, focus on the position of your lead shoulder. Aim to get your lead shoulder behind the ball during your backswing, allowing your head to flow with your body. This will help you avoid staying on top of the ball and ensure you make a good strike.

Practice Drill for Improved Swing:

To improve your swing, follow these simple steps:

  1. Set up in your usual driver stance.
  2. Perform three reps of moving your lead shoulder behind the ball while letting your head flow with your body.
  3. Once you feel comfortable with the movement, hit a ball with the same focus on getting behind the ball.

By consistently practicing this drill, you can develop a proper swing that will help you launch the ball higher and achieve a consistent draw.

Conclusion:

Breaking 100 in golf is an achievable goal with the right technique and practice. By understanding the differences between a driver and iron swing, avoiding common mistakes, and focusing on proper head and shoulder movement, you can create better strikes and dramatically improve your game. Keep practicing these techniques, and you'll be well on your way to breaking 100 and enjoying easier golfing.
