Last Thursday, I watched a student practice on the range with textbook form. Beautiful setup, smooth takeaway, perfect position at the top — everything looked flawless through the first three-quarters of his swing.

Then came the predictable breakdown: twenty consecutive shots where he’d stand up through impact and blade the ball across the range.

After another thin shot skipped toward the 150-yard marker, he looked at me with genuine confusion. “I feel like I’m doing everything right,” he said.

This is the curse of early extension — one of the most common swing flaws I see, and one of the most destructive to ball compression. After twenty-plus years of teaching, I’ve learned that golfers who stand up in their swing aren’t making a conscious choice to ruin their shots. They’re responding to setup and swing issues that force this compensation.

Here’s what drives me crazy: most golfers think standing up is a downswing problem. It’s not. The real culprit usually starts at address or in the backswing, creating a chain reaction that makes early extension inevitable.

Earlier this week, the PGA Tour announced a 2026 return to Trump Doral for a new event called the Miami Championship.

For a few notable reasons, this isn’t your typical tournament addition.

The Tour left the Miami market after 2016 due to Cadillac dropping out as a title sponsor—it was a bitter divorce between soon-to-be President Donald Trump and Tour leadership—setting up a WGC event in Mexico City instead.

That event had a few good years but ultimately ran into its own sponsorship issues once the pandemic hit. The last Mexico City event was in early 2020.

It was inevitable the Tour would want to get back into the coveted South Florida market with a big-time event, but the Blue Monster at Doral is the only decent hosting option in the area. That was problematic because LIV has held an event there the last four years, from 2022-2025.

Few, if any, brands in the soft goods space have seen a rise more meteoric than Sunday Golf. What started as the little bag brand that could has quickly turned into a soft goods beast with real, thoughtful development behind their products to go along with the brash, brilliant marketing.

They’ve been mainstays in our Most Wanted Testing for the last few years for a reason. They make damn good stuff. And their new travel bag, the Coaster, looks to be no different.

It’s got everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Internal straps for compression, plentiful storage (including a detachable apparel bag) and even a hidden AirTag compartment so you can keep a watchful eye on TSA.

Yeah, this one is worth checking out.

If you’re tired of hearing about heading to the gym or buying another gadget to swing faster, you’ll like this approach. These are a few of my favorite ways to increase clubhead speed that don’t require you to get stronger or faster.

Plus, you can do them with the swing you already have.

To be clear, training your body and using golf-specific speed tools can absolutely help. But if you just want a way to squeeze more miles per hour out of your driver, try these moves.

Turn more and turn faster

Hip rotation can be one of the best ways to unlock more power and turn faster. Many golfers restrict their lower body and rely too much on just their shoulders. Restricting the hips limits the length of the swing and the time the club has to build speed.

How to try it
