The range is a lie - Here's how you Improve Faster With Less Practice
Craig Jones from Face First Golf explains why traditional driving range practice often hinders improvement and introduces the 'Power Position.' He details a 6-pillar progression focused on a proper forearm release to eliminate slices and generate effortless power. By practicing these drills into a net at home for short, frequent sessions, golfers can rebuild their swing mechanics more effectively than by hitting buckets of balls.
Most golfers have 'too much lag' on the target side, leading to a chicken-wing move and open face.
The 'Power Position' is achieved when the toe of the club whips past the heel, squaring the face naturally.
Short, frequent practice sessions (5-10 mins) are more effective for skill-building than long range sessions.
A closed stance and strong grip preset the body to swing from the inside and compress the ball.
Always master slow, small swings (L-to-L) before attempting full-speed, full-length shots.
