Today’s short is all about how to stop fatting your tee shots. Our pro, James Whitaker, talks us through the problem from Reunion Resort in Orlando…

When you are making the swing you are dropping the club down a little bit too quick, and because of that you are having to release the club way too early.

To fix this what I want you to do is hover the club above the ball and make a few swings without hitting the ball.

It gives you the feeling of swinging through without dropping the club down.

Give it a try.

The Shack

Come and join us at The Shack for all of the best instruction and equipment videos.

Resident head pro James Whitaker hosts regular guests from the NCG family to fix some of their most frustrating faults and joins equipment editor James Savage in taking an in depth look at all the latest releases.

NCG’s mystery golfer, Anonymous Big Hitter, then gives all the clubs a proper test while the two Jameses analyse the data with Trackman software.

With a state of the art ShackCart – based on the popular SkyCart – and Trackman, The Shack is the ideal pace for instruction and challenges with Tour professionals.
