Feet Asleep / Awake:

To encourage the pupil to develop feel for the correct lower body action during the swing.

Encourage the pupil to make their swing imagining that their feet are asleep and steady during the backswing (1) and the rear foot wakes up in the forward swing (2). This is a particularly useful feeling for pupils who have overacting lower body motion in the backswing and little weight shift in the forward swing.

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).

Place a ball on the outside of the object ball, leaving enough space to gain central
contact on the clubface.The player should chip or pitch the ball without hitting
the 2nd ball promoting hand eye co-ordination.
