Student Journey Highlight: How TJ Dropped 8 Strokes in 4 Months

Every golfer has a moment when they realize it’s time to make a change. In just four months TJ's transformation speaks for itself.

Today, we’re highlighting TJ’s journey, the swing change that made a massive difference, and now you can use the same drill to start improving your own game.

The Key Drill: Tilt, Don’t Turn, to Start Your Downswing

One of the biggest breakthroughs in TJ’s progress was learning how to initiate the downswing correctly.

The Move:

➡️ Tilt - not turn - to start the downswing

Instead of immediately rotating his shoulders, TJ learned to apply a slight lateral tilt to the lead side.

‍

This simple shift created two major benefits:

• A more in-to-out swing path: helps eliminate over-the-top moves and their common companions: slices and weak contact.
• A shallower angle of attack: Promotes cleaner strikes, better compression, and improved control.

This drill not only cleaned up his ball flight - it made his motion more athletic, more reliable, and easier to repeat.

Consistency Through Coaching 

TJ’s progress was more than a drill:

• Working with a coach who understood his goals
• Practicing with intention
• Tracking progress through meaningful data and feedback

With each session, TJ gained more confidence - and his scorecard shows the difference.
