Inside a Golf Lesson: Rebuilding a Game

Golf Performance Coach Justin Langhill takes a student through a comprehensive swing rebuild focused on lower-body engagement. By utilizing the 'Step Drill' and focusing on hip coiling, Langhill helps the student eliminate tops and weak 'arm-only' swings to find a consistent draw and increased power.

• Power in the golf swing must come from the lower body using the ground, not just the arms.
• The 'Step Drill' is a vital pre-swing activation to feel the lower body leading the downswing.
• Maintaining your spine angle is critical to avoiding the 'chicken wing' and thin/topped shots.
• Avoid 'opening' the hips too early in the backswing; instead, coil the trailing glute to create a 'slingshot' effect.
• Practice 'intentional reps' by analyzing why a shot was poor rather than immediately pulling another ball.
