Jake Killeen JK Performance Coaching Podcast On The Mic

Three months in with Ben, and the progress is taking shape.

We set out to tighten his long iron game—narrow the dispersion, sharpen the distance control, and give him the tools to shape shots with confidence. By moving the low point forward and syncing face and path more precisely through impact, Ben’s gained the control needed for those high-demand shots: long par 3s, wind-play, and going after par 5s.

We’ve built in a shot-shaping routine that covers all ball flights, all heights—improving feel, awareness, and creativity under pressure. We’ve even added a flighted shot to the bag of tricks—giving him another reliable option when conditions call for it.

Impressed by the progress, the precision, and the work Ben’s put in.

3 Game Changing Habits to Lower Your Scores

1️⃣ Plan Your Shot & Stick to Your Routine
Don’t just hit and hope. Step into every shot with a clear plan: What’s your target? What’s the wind doing? Where’s the safe miss? Then stick to a consistent pre-shot routine that helps you focus and stay calm under pressure. Visualise! Confidence comes from preparation — and routines keep you grounded when things get tough.

⸻

2️⃣ Practice with Purpose
Hitting balls mindlessly won’t get you far. Choose one specific skill or shot to improve each session. Whether it’s tempo, alignment, or a certain club, give your practice structure and measurable goals. Quality always beats quantity when it comes to progress. You only full swing around 30-50 shots a round so more is not always the way.

⸻

3️⃣ Learn From Your Rounds
After each round, take a few minutes to reflect. What did you do well? Where did you lose shots? Tracking patterns — like missed fairways, poor club choices, or great recoveries — helps you identify what to work on next. Tracking your good is always a confidence boost and allows you to make better decisions out there. Improvement doesn’t just come from playing more; it comes from learning every time you play. Use stats app tools to help or write your thoughts down.

Using Ray (our rotation-restricted legend as seen in the first vid) as the example — here’s how to fix early lift and find real rotation through the ball.

Extend your right side in the backswing to avoid that early lift on the way down. Once you’re fully extended — it’s time to rotate.

Try these two drills to build genuine rotation:

1️⃣Head in the Box
Rotate from the trail side while keeping your head stable. Stay centered, stay powerful. You can do this anywhere—in front of a mirror, in the shower.. anywhere, with or without clubs.

2️⃣Feet Together Drill
Build balance and force rotation from the core. No sway — just clean turn.

⸻

Range Plan for the Feet Together Drill:
Hit 4 sets of 10 balls:
• Start each set with feet together and gradually widen your stance back to normal.
• First 5 balls at 50% speed. Last 5 at full speed.

These drills dial in the feels and help your rotation become both powerful and repeatable.

Refining Alex’s movement from Session 1.
He did the homework and showed up ready to work. This is the kind of student you love to coach—focused, coachable, and hungry to improve.

We built on last session’s changes, shifting pressure more effectively to unlock stronger rotation and better use of ground forces.

The result—a more stable base, improved sequencing, and a much more powerful strike.

Until next session… great progress Alex.

A Tour-Tested Putting Routine You Can Trust Under Pressure.

Dialling in your putting requires a clear and concise routine. Here’s a streamlined routine built to hold up when it counts.

⸻

1. Read the Green Like a Story

Start behind the ball. Read the contours, grain, and slopes with a purpose. Visualise the apex, trace the path back to a start line a foot in front of you, and trust what you see.

⸻

2. Align Using the Ball’s Line

Point the line on your ball to your chosen direction. It’s more than a visual cue—it locks in your direction and builds pre-stroke confidence.

⸻

3. Optional: Confirm from Behind

If needed, take one final look from behind to confirm alignment. Your line should point exactly where you intend to start the ball.

⸻

4. Feel Pace by Looking at the Hole

Take two rehearsal strokes while looking at the hole. Match tempo to distance. Feel the rhythm in your body—not your head. You can do this from behind or beside the ball.

⸻

5. Set the Club with Precision

Square the putter face to the ball’s line. Firm hands, steady lower body. No last-second adjustments—if doubt creeps in, reset.

⸻

6. Trust and Commit to Your Tempo

Final look, deep breath, then go. Let the stroke flow without hesitation or correction.

⸻

7. Eyes Down, Head Still

Stay in your posture through impact. Don’t chase the result—release fully and listen for it to drop.

⸻

Simple. Repeatable. Built for pressure.
Stick to this process and you’ll start seeing results—without overthinking every stroke.

When the stance is too wide, it can cause hip sway and limit rotation— throwing off sequence and making it hard to shift pressure into the lead side.

We narrowed Chris’s setup to free up rotation, improved his ability to move into the front foot, and built in a simple routine to help him commit—while still learning new patterns.

Small changes. Big difference.
Great first session Chris.

Creating separation between your upper and lower body helps you stop going over the top, store power, and release it efficiently through the ball. It’s not about swinging harder—it’s about sequencing better.

When you focus on the right fundamentals, progress can come quickly.

In Paul’s first session, we worked on applying pressure more effectively during the backswing. By shifting to a deeper hand path, we improved his downswing sequence—leading to more consistent, solid ball striking.

In our second session, we focused on utilising ground force and maintaining balance throughout the swing. This helped synchronise his timing and improve overall swing efficiency.

By concentrating on key elements—pressure, hand path, ground force, and balance—you can unlock noticeable improvements in your game.

Fixing Mike’s pulls & slices—fast.
If you’re aiming too far right, your body learns to swing left—and by doing that, you can slice or pull your shot.
This vid gives a visual of how that plays out—and how the right foot back drill can help.

Mike will need to reinforce this new pattern through many reps, so he can trust it when it matters on course—and that’s exactly what we intend to do, so stay tuned on his progress.

Alex’s setup was costing him space through impact— Crowded at address, he was forced into a steep, inconsistent strike pattern.

The lateral hip sway— a byproduct of setup and over-fixation on the ball.

By moving him away from the ball, we’ve created the conditions for efficient pivot and improved strike dynamics.

For Russell, it wasn’t about rebuilding everything—it was about understanding what was really happening in his swing.
A perfect example of how poor results don’t always mean poor mechanics.

By shifting focus to timing and learning to visualise the shot before it came, everything changed.
He’s now striking the ball better than ever—proof that once you understand what’s actually going on, progress follows—and it can be quick.

Through targeted adjustments, Matthew was guided to shift his focus from fixating on the ball to trusting the entirety of his swing motion.

This session emphasised the importance of managing tension and adopting a clearer target-driven approach.

By refining his grip and setup, and introducing drills that promoted an earlier pressure shift to the lead side during the backswing, his overall swing sequence was significantly enhanced—resulting in improved low point control, increased power, and more efficient rotation.

[Before - After - Comparison]

Shifting the Low Point Forward to Improve Strike Quality🏌️‍♂️

To move the low point forward of the ball, the backswing was slightly reduced—steepening the hand path and lessening the need for excessive body rotation through impact.

Tightening the downswing release sequence allowed the chest to stay closed for longer, leading to improved timing, compression, and strike consistency.

Progress: Cleaner, more efficient contact with a significant reduction in heavy strikes.

Inside the first session with a new golfer— Introducing concepts that create long lasting movement change.

If you’re a new golfer watching this, keep in mind—every lesson is different. All sessions are tailored to the player’s unique movement and swing characteristics.

This first session breakdown:
• Functional drills to shift the pattern
• Clear parameters for consistent practice
• Introduced feels to control low-point
• Reduced grip tension to square the face
• Improved ability to shift low-point forward

In this initial session, the focus was on simplifying the swing through purposeful drills and clear feedback. By introducing specific feels and reducing grip tension, we began to correct clubface control and improve the ability to shift the low point forward—setting up a more reliable, repeatable motion.

The client received a continuing specific program to practice efficiently between sessions.

Ken’s session (down-the-line view) focused on right-side engagement ⮕ creating more width, a shallower hand path, increased compression, and better clubface control through impact.

In reality, a lot has changed here, but the message was simple—the concept shifted from feeling like the club needed to stay close to the body to understanding the power of width.

You’re standing over the ball and keep telling yourself ‘don’t hit it in the bunker’, and sure enough… you hit it in the bunker.

This phenomenon is the “ironic process theory” or “the law of reversed effect.”
When you tell yourself not to do something, your brain focuses on the very thing you’re trying to avoid.

In repeatedly reminding yourself “don’t hit it in the bunker,” your focus inadvertently shifts towards the bunker, resulting in a higher likelihood of hitting the ball there.

Instead, directing your attention to where you WANT the ball to go will improve your performance.

Go get out for a round this weekend🫡

Do you self-evaluate your golf performance when you step off the course?
This is one of the most overlooked aspects of the game, yet it’s crucial for improvement.

Reflecting on your performance allows you to identify strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to focus your practice efforts effectively- it’s the key to unlocking your full potential on the course.

HERE ARE THE STEPS to self-evaluate your golf performance:

Score Analysis: Review your scorecard to see how you performed overall. Note any patterns or trends in your scoring, such as consistently struggling on specific holes or consistently hitting certain clubs well.

Shot Analysis: Reflect on each shot you took during the round. Consider factors such as accuracy, distance, trajectory, and shot shape. Identify areas where you excelled and areas where you struggled.

Course Management: Evaluate your decision-making on the course. Did you choose the right clubs for each shot? Did you effectively navigate hazards and difficult lies? Assess whether your course management skills helped or hindered your performance.

Short Game: Assess your performance on and around the greens. Pay attention to your putting accuracy, chipping proficiency, and bunker play. Determine if you were able to get up and down efficiently from around the green.

Physical and Mental Game: Consider your physical and mental state during the round. Did fatigue or frustration affect your performance? Were you able to maintain focus and concentration throughout the round?

Goal Alignment: Compare your performance to your goals and expectations for the round. Did you achieve what you set out to accomplish? If not, identify areas for improvement and set new goals for future rounds.

Feedback: Seek feedback from playing partners or a coach if available. They may have insights or observations that can help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your game.

Consistency: Look for patterns in your performance over time. Are there areas of your game that consistently need improvement? Focus on developing consistency in those areas through practice and targeted drills.

By implementing this self-evaluation strategy, your game will excel 💯

Mastering your pre-shot routine isn’t just about consistency; it’s about cultivating focus, confidence, and control on the golf course.

By sticking to your routine without deviation, you build a foundation of mental strength and consistency that translates into better performance under pressure.

Each step of your routine serves a purpose, from visualising the shot to committing to your strategy, ultimately leading to more precise and confident swings.

In the face of challenges or distractions, your routine becomes your anchor, keeping you grounded and focused on the task at hand.

So, practice your routine, trust in its power, and watch as your game reaches new levels.

Teach them young.

Youngsters, (in this case my son), are always watching, observing, forming new connections in their brain.
Over one million neural connections formed every second in some developmental stages.

Every experience, interaction, and observation contributes to shaping the intricate network of connections, laying the foundation for future learning and behavior.

What they see, they become. Engagement in sports not only cultivates physical prowess but also fosters resilience through the honing of essential skills.

Providing connected, fun, enriching and stimulating environments is essential for fostering development and maximising their potential.
