Added on May 08, 2025
Throughout a round of golf no two shots are exactly the same. To play well, you need to have versatility in the flight, shape and how forcefully you strike the ball. In this video, Titleist staff member Joe Plecker shares how to respond to the various demands the game presents not by changing your swing mechanics, but by simply adjusting the magnitude of the ground forces you use to accelerate the club.
