GROUND CONTACT

Sick of hitting the ground before the ball?

Give this towel behind drill a try next time you’re at the range.

Place a towel roughly two clubhead widths behind the ball. Make a few practice swings with one goal: strike the ground without touching the towel.

Once you’re successful, add a ball and repeat the same movement.

This drill was a game changer for one of my players 👊

He went from hitting the ground behind the ball almost every time, to making ball-first contact almost every time ✅

Give it a go and let me know how you get on!

INCREASING CLUB SPEED 🚀

Struggling to get any distance off the tee? Always the shortest hitter in your group?

One of my players increased his club speed by almost 10 mph by adding a little more length and height to his backswing, then improving his sequence with the step drill.

If you’re looking to add more speed and distance, give it a try!

STRIKE LOCATION

Fixing the dreaded heel strike…

This drill of placing a stick above your hands at setup really helped one of my players who was struggling with heel strikes.

It reduced how much he moved towards the ball throughout his swing, improving his strike with all clubs 🎯

BACKSWING IMPROVEMENTS

A nice little adjustment to one of my player’s, helping change an inside and flat takeaway that was contributing to a lot of thin push fades.

The drill is simple: An alignment stick on the ground, angled away from the target line, gives the player a clear visual to match the club to.

The feeling of pushing the handle down instead of pulling the hands up to start the swing.

You’ll notice the club gets a little higher at the top and moves into a much more neutral position, meaning fewer compensations are needed on the way down 👌
