    Hit the ball farther and solid !!!

    For the new golfers out there and mid to high handicappers these videos are a MUST WATCH !!!!

    The two videos from instructor Martin Hall are terrific. Some of you may have seen them on the golf channel. He explains the hinging, create pressure to the ball and release like no other instructor I have seen. Also, keeps the instruction flowing with great humour.

    Enjoy !!

    Another great video is from instructor Chuck Martin who also teaches you the proper impact and where your swing should bottom out. Good drills !!

    Very good videos, especially the third video, great drill for impact position. He also did an admirable job of explaining the feeling of where your hands should be.

    Golf is such a simple game... Thanks PEIG for the great videos. A must before each practice session. I can see myself in each of those four sessions.

    Great Instruction

    Martin Hall is a tremendous teacher. Some golf instructors give a person too much information to process, so much so that your brain suffers from information overload. His explanation with the hinges afixed to his wrists taught me a lot. The explanation with the 1/2 inch piece of plywood on how to correctly hit down and put pressure on the golf ball was equally informative. I am practicing his suggestions standing on an angle and hitting the ball off a wooden fence and the ball is just exploding when hit his way compared his to what I was incorectly doing before. Thank you, thank you, thank you! tomgolf

    I love Martin Hall. I learned years ago that props are the best way for a weekend golfer to learn the proper swing. That plywood drill is a great way to learn with immediate feedback. After hitting the board a couple of times you learn.
    Strive for perfection, but never expect it!

    Aren't you?

    JK Buddy, you better study those videos because if we get together for a game I really do not want to beat you like a drum
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.
