Paul Lambersens' Method: Simple and Verifiable Systems
His philosophy is to apply consistent systems across all aspects of the game, while respecting each player's movement preferences. His lessons on the website clearly demonstrate this.
Rhythm Above All Else
In his view, good players all have one thing in common, regardless of their swing: a good rhythm, which helps with balance, generates speed without straining, and ensures a smooth sequence of movements. He works on this with simple exercises, such as swinging a club held upside down with one hand.
A Stress-Free Pre-Shot Routine
He points out the typical amateur pre-shot routine: a practice swing using only the arms next to the ball, followed by a long, motionless wait in front of it. Tension builds, and the swing becomes limited to the arms. Instead, he suggests a routine that involves movement, inspired by good players.
Reliable landmarks at the address
When it comes to ball position, his reference point is not the middle of his feet but the center of the swing, at the level of his front shoulder. This also stems from the club’s design: when resting on its sole, the shaft is tilted slightly forward, so that at impact, his hands are in front of the clubhead.
Contact and Power
According to him, most slices result from an early hip rotation, which he corrects with the chair exercise. On the driving range, he specifically recommends raising the tee by a quarter to half an inch higher than usual: in his view, slice shots aren’t caused by the tee but by a club that comes down too far on the ball.
