Essential Skills:
Ball Striking Systems

The systems for building the essential skills in ball striking. Face, path, low point, contact. Everything else is built on this.

Call To Action

Ever Shoot 82 One Day and 97 the Next?

As you improve as a golfer, you can build the skills to shoot 82. But not having the essential skills means you can't stop yourself from shooting 97.

When your timing is good, you play well. But timing is not a recipe for consistency. On the days your game isn't on, you don't have enough skill to save you.

That's the gap. And the essential skills are what close it.

Consistency isn't the score. Consistency is the process. The best place to start building that process is with your setup, because setup drifts on everyone, and setup issues create swing issues.
