Tips from Our Pro
I get this question asked quite often: “I’m short on time…What’s an effective drill that will help me get prepared quickly before my round?”
The easiest way to get loosened up plus get in a quick range session is to practice club/swing positions or progressions. Here we go:
Position 1 – Shaft parallel to the ground club toe pointing up.
Position 2 – Form an L with your arm and the shaft of the club – Grip points to the ball.
Position 3 – Bump your lead hip and pull down with your lead arm in that sequence. Shaft returns back to parallel to the ground.
Position 4 – Impact position should look like a lower case y.
Position 5 – Go shake hands with the target…Shaft parallel to the ground – Club toe up.
Position 6 – Full finish with club laying across your shoulders and coming out of your peripheral vision. (Belt buckle pointing at your target!)
Always a great idea to practice the release over and over because good things happen when we finish our swing!!! These movements or rehearsals of the 6 positions should activate your golf muscles plus give you a keen idea of where your club head is at during the swing and make for a great day on the course…And who doesn’t like that?
