Performance Golf coach JT Thomas helps 'DOD King' Carter rebuild his swing and confidence after a high-pressure collapse. The lesson focuses on flattening a steep arm plane by lowering the chest and simplifying putting through improved tempo and alignment. Viewers will learn how to reduce swing thoughts and use physics to eliminate 'jerky' movements under pressure.
Flatten your arm plane by feeling your chest stay closer to the ground and moving arms around the body rather than up.
Early extension (humping the ball) is often a compensations for a swing that is too steep and out of sync.
To fix jerky short putts, take the putter back slightly faster and use momentum to hit the ball rather than accelerating through impact.
Use external 'gates' or targets to distract your mind from the outcome of a putt during high-pressure situations.
Proper driver-off-the-deck (DOD) requires a level pivot and avoiding an excessive lateral shift off the ball.
