Accelerate when you putt for better results

By SwingFix.com staff

The quickest way to become a better golfer is to become a better putter, but most amateurs don’t devote nearly enough practice time to that aspect of their game.

Additionally, one thing that plagues many amateurs on the greens is a decelerating stroke.

If you tend to miss putts short and on the low side of the hole, this video from SwingFix pro Bill Schmedes III will help you out.

So try this simple drill on the practice green and you’ll start to accelerate through the ball and make more putts.

Be careful when it comes to "lag" advice

By SwingFix.com staff

There are a lot of bad tips out there that many golfers fall victim to, and some even come from less-than-knowledgeable golf instructors.

We asked a few of our top SwingFix teaching professionals for the worst tips they've ever heard.

So if you happen to run into any of this questionable advice, you'll be able to steer clear.

Here is one bad tip, courtesy of Dan Carraher, to avoid at all costs.

"The worst golf tip is anything about actively/forcefully holding lag,” Carraher said. “Lag is a byproduct of proper sequencing and having the clubface in a position that can square up.

“If you don't have lag, it's because you can't have it and hit good shots. Generally the face is too open on the downswing forcing you to flip. Fix the open face and lag takes care of itself."
