Summary

508 Premium: In the second of our four part series with golf instructor Jim Venetos, we dig deeper into his method of “Stillness” by discussing where you should have the ball positioned for each club during your swing, what type of trajectory is optimum for this method, and how to shape your shots so that you utilize a draw, fade, or straight shot. Now that, like thousands of his student, you’re getting the hang of this new swing and seeing positive results in your practice sessions, in our next episode, we’ll discuss taking your game from the driving range to the golf course. Need a little more explanation and want to see what he’s talking about? Here’s the link to Jim’s video tip that is a Golf Smarter exclusive.
