Jordan Spieth’s coach has a tip — to help players ‘learn faster’
Jordan Spieth’s coach, Cameron McCormick, recently unveiled a new approach to teaching that he believes will accelerate player development.
McCormick’s “Block Practice 2.0” method involves isolating specific swing elements — the takeaway, transition and downswing — and practicing them repeatedly in different combinations.
According to McCormick, this method forces players to focus on individual components of their swing and develop each one independently. This allows them to break down complex movements into manageable chunks, leading to quicker improvement overall.
Early adopters of Block Practice 2.0 have reported impressive results. One player, who had been stuck in a plateau for years, saw his handicap drop by three strokes within just a few weeks of using the method.
McCormick believes that Block Practice 2.0 is a game-changer for golfers of all levels. “It’s the most effective way to learn and improve your swing,” he said. “It’s like taking a shortcut to better golf.”

Nick Faldo and Other Pros Reveal Their Secret for Cutting Strokes
Golf legends like Nick Faldo have shared their favorite way to improve their game: simplifying their swing.
“If you’re looking to improve your golf game, one of the best things you can do is simplify your swing,” Faldo said. “The fewer moving parts you have, the more consistent you’ll be.”
Other pros agree. Phil Mickelson says he focuses on making a “smooth, fluid swing” with “no wasted motion.” Tiger Woods says he tries to “keep it simple” and “let the club do the work.”
There are many ways to simplify your swing. One is to focus on keeping your body still and your head down. Another is to make a shorter backswing. You can also try to swing more smoothly and with less effort.
No matter how you do it, simplifying your swing can help you to improve your accuracy, consistency, and power. So if you’re looking to cut strokes off your game, give it a try.
