Use your fingers | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/use-your-fingers-2
Grip the putter any way you like, as long as it doesn’t hinder your left hand’s role in the stroke. But make sure to grip the club in your fingers. The shaft should run up the lifeline of your left hand for clubface control, but your fingers must contact the grip. You can drop the right forefinger down the shaft, but don’t steer with it. Forget about what your palms are doing. Fingers equal feel. Posted 3 August, 2015 by E. Marino. Laquo; Think roll, not hit. Spot the spot ». Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Lead whit your left | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/lead-whit-your-left
Lead whit your left. If you shot a free throw with your right hand only, you’d realize you need your left hand as a guide. The same is true on the greens: The left hand is the direction hand, and it’s just as important as the right. Practice putting left-hand-only, or have someone hold a club in front of your hands on the target line. Bump the grip with the back of your hand, not your fingers. Posted 3 August, 2015 by E. Marino.

Pick your head up and watch the ball go | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/pick-your-head-up-and-watch-the-ball-go
Pick your head up and watch the ball go. Contrary to popular belief, you should NOT keep your head down when you drive the ball. Take pride in watching the shot you just mashed. If your head position is rigid, you risk losing speed or, worse, hurting yourself. Fewer bad shots come from turning your head to follow the ball than from staring down. So give it a whack, and watch it go. Posted 25 July, 2015 by E. Marino. Laquo; Adjust your shoulder tilt. Find your swing plane ». Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Spot the spot | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/spot-the-spot-2
If you stare at the ball too long at address, it’s easy to get brain-locked and hit a bad putt. To avoid this, don’t even look at the ball. Try looking at a spot just in front of the ball on your target line and rolling the ball over that spot. Put a tee in the ground in front of the ball when you practice. This gets you thinking about the target line instead of the stroke–the opposite of what most golfers do. Posted 3 August, 2015 by E. Marino. Laquo; Use your fingers. Regain your tempo ».

Think roll, not hit | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/think-roll-not-hit-2
Think roll, not hit. The key to distance control is to roll the ball, not hit it. To do this, take an open stance, your weight slightly favoring your left side and your putter shaft leaning toward the target. The open stance makes it easier to feel the left hand going out and down the target line. The forward lean offsets the 4 degrees of loft it is recommend for a putter and helps the ball roll smoothly.

Tighten your turn | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/tighten-your-turn
When you turn in the golf swing, it’s critical that the hands and arms stay in front of the body. LEFT: When your body stops turning, your arms should stop swinging. RIGHT: Turn your hips on the downswing, and let your upper body respond. F your arms keep moving behind you after your upper body is finished turning back, you lose power and accuracy. Make a centered turn around a stable axis–your spine–and keep a consistent bend at your hips. Posted 25 July, 2015 by E. Marino. Laquo; Find your swing plane.

Adjust your shoulder tilt | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/adjust-your-shoulder-tilt
Adjust your shoulder tilt. Players who want to smash the golf ball off the tee tend to tilt their shoulders so that their right one is lower than their left. Your back shoulder should be lower than your front shoulder, but only by the amount that your bottom hand is lower than your top hand on the grip. The triangle formed by your hands, arms and shoulders should be centered in front of your body and aimed at the ball — not shoved toward the target. Posted 25 July, 2015 by E. Marino.

Catch the ball on the upswing | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/catch-the-ball-on-the-upswing
Catch the ball on the upswing. A simple way to pick up 20 to 30 yards on your drive is by simply catching the ball on the upswing. The secret to an upward attack angle is the setup. Try this: Hold your driver level across your shoulders with your arms crossed, then take your stance and nudge your hips toward the target so your lead hip is higher than your trailing hip. This will raise your front shoulder, too. Posted 25 July, 2015 by E. Marino. Laquo; It’s all about balance. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

It’s all about balance | Marino's Golf
https://e2marino.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/its-all-about-balance
It’s all about balance. It doesn’t matter what your swing looks like. If you can stay in balance throughout the entire motion, you’re going to hit a lot of good shots. You see amateurs make beautiful practice swings where they finish in that trophy pose but then fall all over when they hit the ball. Good balance is huge, but thinking about it too much can make you tentative. But one thought you do use is for the finish position:. Stay on top of your feet. Posted 25 July, 2015 by E. Marino.
