In this lesson, Craig Jones shows you exactly why that weak flip through impact is killing your distance—and what to do instead. If you’ve lost yardage over the years or feel like the ball just floats with no pop, this breaks down the real reason: you’re adding loft instead of compressing the ball.
You’ll learn how to move from a flippy, powerless release into what Craig calls the “power whip”—a simple motion that traps the ball on the face and makes it jump off with way less effort. With clear feels like “elbows together, elbows down” and “hinge → whip,” this shows you how to create forward shaft lean, square the face correctly, and finally get that compressed strike.
