The secret to better ball striking? Keep that body moving! I’ve heard from so many of you that this video gave you a great picture for what the body should be doing. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go.

So many golfers I cross paths with need to educate their body on what it’s like to move correctly in the golf swing. They’ve spent far too many hours sitting and sedentary. This is a simple one with the keys being to get the lead shoulder and hip behind the ball going back and

If you struggle with hooks this is the challenge for you! Ball on a tee, 7 iron and start small. Objective - launch the ball outside the alignment rod, while the club head arcs inside the rod. I’ve got a strong feeling that if you can do this ‘simple’ challenge you will stop

It’s crazy how well this exercise works! It’s not easy but a little persistence and you’ll have a good sense of how the face and hands need to be working on the way down and through the strike. Ball should fly low and short while doing the drill.

At all costs, the handle must beat the clubhead to the ball! It’s imperative. How? Get the clubface stronger on the way down, have the appropriate intent, drive the pelvis/weight forward in the downswing. This leads to shaft lean and a slight descending strike - bingo!

If you’re a hooker you need this! Tee a ball up and use an 8i. Place an alignment rod in the ground approximately 15” in front of your ball. Go softly and work towards the ball starting right of the rod with the club head arcing back inside the rod. It’s noooot as easy as it

If you’re looking to shallow your swing or just simply improve your downswing, the best method is often to improve the position of the clubhead at the top. Here’s an idea that will help with that objective. Give it a go!

I call it 9 to 3. A simple, yet integral, little shot that I discuss and teach often. A crispy strike, where the ball sizzles low off the face. Seven iron is perfect. If you can do this you’re well on your way. If not, keep going. #andrewricegolf

A huge factor in determining spin rate off the driver is impact location! These were three back to back shots: Orange 3300; Green 2600; Blue 1900. Same speed and intent for each swing. If you’d like to improve your spin rate start with impact location! 🌪 #andrewricegolf
