Golf: Show The Sole

This is a great site. The days of scratching practice drills and back...

Andrew

DESCRIPTION

To encourage the pupil to check for correct weight distribution in the forward swing.

Encourage the pupil to make their normal swing, at first just clipping a tee and check that the sole of the shoe furthest from the target is pointing away from the target at the finish of that swing (1). Later the ball can be introduced (2).

Balanced For Success:

To encourage the pupil to develop a feel for the correct balance following the posture drill

Encourage the pupil to follow the Bow and bounce exercise, then without moving the club or body position excessively, encourage the pupil to rock between the heels (1) and toes (2) to ensure the weight is correctly balanced on the balls of the feet.

Gate | Start Golf - Long Game - Exercises

Gate:

To encourage the pupil to develop central club face contact

Place 1 or 2 tees either side of the object tee or ball to create a ?gate? for the club to swing through at impact (1). Start with a fairly wide gate, gradually narrowing as the pupil improves their skill. A similar drill is achieved with just one tee on the outside of the ball (2).
