What do you think is the easiest way to improve every golf shot? It’s important for our driver, irons and putter. The distance from your shoulders to your ball should remain the same for your setup and your point of impact. The shaft of your club is not changing so it’s up to your spine, shoulders and arms to find the same distance at impact. Early extension at the point of impact is a killer.
Shoulder Control
Most golf pros suggest tilting your shoulders at setup for your DRIVER to ensure that your impact is in an upward direction. It keeps your swing arcing upward toward the forward position of your teed up ball. For all other clubs your shoulders should be level and square to your target. In all cases, your job is to just rotate your shoulders with your spine.
Spine Control
Your hips and spine generate a lot of the power in your swing. You can’t afford to sway back during your swing. Spine ROTATION allows your hips and your shoulders to wind-up in your backswing.
Arm Control
In your arms you have 3 active sets of joints: shoulders, elbows and wrists.
The distance from his shoulders to the ball is constant at SETUP and at IMPACT (on the right). His hip rotation is the key difference, without any swayback or extension.
Feel the weight of your club head taking charge during your back-swing and down-swing as you rotate your body to a balanced finish. John Daly and Jon Rahm are examples of the 2 extremes in the back-swing. Find your happy medium without swaying or bending your elbows. And, heaven forbid, never extend your legs and back until after impact.

What We Tried
AXIOM. A premium graphite iron shaft from Fujikura.
Your Fujikura AXIOM Tester
Tony Covey. MyGolfSpy Editorial Director, gear junkie, occasional sufferer of tennis elbow and a devout believer in the potential of graphite shafts for every club in the bag.
The Requisite Background
As a guy who routinely fits into iron shafts with a nominal weight of 120 grams or more, I’m constantly on the lookout for serious graphite shaft options in my weight class. And while they’re admittedly few and far between, experience with products like UST Recoil and Mitsubishi’s MMT has given me hope for a high-performance, vibration-reduced future on the links (and in an indoor golf league).
While they’ve never generated the buzz of Ventus, Fujikura has offered graphite iron shafts for as long as I’ve been in the industry. For all the noise from guys in my swing speed demographic (and above) about not having any viable graphite options, offerings of 115 grams and more have been a continual part of the Fujikura catalog.
About Fujikura AXIOM Graphite Iron Shafts
AXIOM is Fujikura’s latest graphite iron shaft offering. It’s the first iron shaft from Fujikura to feature the VeloCore technology that makes a real-deal (that’s for you, JB) Ventus a Ventus.
Tucked behind the trees near the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border is perhaps one of travel’s best-kept secrets: Nemacolin.
A “golfer’s paradise” is not the first phrase that comes to mind when I think about remote, wooded Pennsylvania. Boy, was I wrong.
Nemacolin is one of those places where you come for the golf but stay for a myriad of reasons. A golfer’s paradise? Maybe. But this special 2,200-acre property is much more than a place to chase a little white ball.
After spending a few days taking in everything that Nemacolin has to offer, I’ve come to a conclusion that serves as the outline to this article: Nemacolin has something for everyone.
Looking for amazing golf that’s challenging and rewarding? Nemacolin has that. What about a romantic dinner and relaxing day at the spa? You’re taken care of at Nemacolin. Between the multiple fine-dining experiences, outdoor recreational activities and luxurious lodging—if you leave Nemacolin bored, it’s your own dang fault.
