YOU DON’T NEED TO MUSCLE YOUR SWING. WANTING TO HIT THOSE DRIVES FURTHER AND SHOTS FEEL SMOOTH?

Do you ever feel like you're swinging as hard as you can, but the ball just doesn’t go as far as it should?

 

The problem isn’t your strength. It’s not your swing speed. It’s ground force and strike pattern. 

 

Ground force is the power you need to send that ball sailing and it's right under your feet. When you master ground force, you learn how to transfer power from the ground, through your legs, and straight into your club. 

 

That’s when things start to change. Drives go further. Shots feel smooth. You don’t need to “muscle” your swing—because your body is finally working with you, not against you.

Picture this: You set up for a swing, relax your grip, and let your weight shift into your back foot. As you start your downswing, you push against the ground, feeling that pressure build in your legs. The clicking motion from the step toe create a smooth tempo for you swing. Then, BOOM—you let it all release through your body, right to the ball. 

And it flies. 

Straight, powerful, no wasted effort.

                                                That’s what mastering ground force can do for you.

The best part? You can practice it anywhere. You don’t need heavy weights or fancy machines. Just focus on engaging your legs, shifting weight, and feeling that “push” from the ground up.

 

The “Step Toe”  is created to give you immediate feedback and show you exactly how to tap into this hidden source of power. If you’ve been trying to get more distance without success, this is your missing piece. 

 

In the training video below, you'll discover how to put that strength you already have to work.

 

TIPS FOR WINTER TRAINING

FROM THE TEE Alignment Never assume the mat is pointing in the right direction. Use a pre-shot routine that makes sure you are lined up correctly. Solid base Especially in windy conditions and off the mats. Widen your stance and keep the lower half of your body quiet. Keep it straight You’ll get less run in the winter. Try a fairway wood to improve consistency and you won’t lose all that much distance. IRON PLAY Grade your lie Stand with your back to the flag and “grade” your lie. Think traffic lights – attack (green), lay up (yellow) or knock out sideways (red). Mud ball Take more club than usual and swing easy to reduce spin and help keep it online. SHORT GAME Get it rolling Use a rescue club or fairway wood on temporary greens and putt how you would normally. Keep it low The chip and run reduces the chances of mis-hits and unpredictable bounces – compared to the high, lob shot. Wet sand The lob wedge can be very useful. Make a smooth, shallow swing. You don’t need to open the face or your stance.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I USED TO HAVE A PELIC SWAY TOWARDS MY RIGHT SIDE DURING MY BACKSWING

This stopped me at the time from transitioning correctly during the downs Pring creating an array of problems. I placed an alignment deck outside of my right foot and placed an umbrella or another alignment stick that was behind me and was in line with my right leg. As I rehearse my back swing, I made sure my right pocket went back behind me and tried to create a gap between the umbrella / alignment stick during the back swing. This resulted in reducing my pelvis sway towards my right side during the back swing. 
