    Skills + Drills

    Mike Malaska

    Are you waiting for an ah-ha moment in golf? Something that clicks, and you can’t wait to go out and try it. Here’s your chance. Mike Malaska, one of Golf Digest’s 50 Best Teachers, says you can develop a great golf swing with movement patterns you already know, like throwing and hitting a ball and using your body to support these motions. In this three-part series, you’ll learn how these basic skills that you mastered as a kid translate to the golf swing and how to utilize them to build power and consistency.

    Throwing a Ball

    The throw is the basic movement pattern of the golf swing, creating power, solid contact, accuracy—you name it. Mike Malaska shows how to use it in your swing.

    Hitting A Ball

    The movement pattern used in batting translates perfectly to golf—and you already know how to do it. In this lesson, Mike Malaska demonstrates how it works.

    Offsetting Forces

    To throw and hit with speed, your body has to move to maintain balance and create leverage. Here, Mike Malaska shows how you instinctively do this—if you let it happen.
