If you could only do one drill...

**trumps4** · May 24, 2010

..for the rest of your life what would it be? Most of us have a few favorite drills that we use to stay on track or right the ship when things fall apart. Maybe you hit balls with your feet together, or do something with an impact bag, or put with only your left hand, or make swings with a glove under your armpit. It could be any number of things. I guess another way to ask this is, what drill do you think does your game the most good?

feet together drill. im tryin to get rid of a nasty hip slide and get my hips to turn correctly. easier said than done...

Right foot back drill, which can be modified to accopany many drills

Right foot ball chip drill, helps get the feeling of having weight on front foot while chiping.
Right foot full swing, gets the feeling of comming from the inside and keeping that stacked left side.
Right foot right arm only swing, practice the feeling of a proper follow through

This one is very nice ;b

Hogan concentration drill.

One handed putting.

Its a tough call (which is why I started this thread) but I think I'd have to go with golf glove under the arm pit.

Probably the 4 club alignment drill which ingrains the feeling of an inside out swing (golf magazine drill tip)

Really? Thought this was an outdated drill.

It is the only drill I have ever found that gets me back to hitting it straight. When I start spraying it, I can spend an hour or so on this drill and like magic, I can play golf again. I know it doesn't work for everyone but for whatever reason, it helps me...

Stretching out every day. Tight muscles kill my swing.

The 9 to 3 drill. This really solidifies the supination of the wrist combined with hips driving the golf swing through impact. Since impact is the most critical part of the swing this is where I have seen the most results. Today I was doing the drill hitting little fades and draws.

the Makita Cordless drill. With proper alignment it promotes just the right amount of spin to make the hole.

Here is the drill that has dropped my handicap into single digits. Getting into early position to hit. Gary Player was a proponent, stepping into his shots. As he pointed out, balance is key to this move because your backswing 'sling' is the motor to moving you to the left side and there is a lot of energy to dissipate (hence his step into follow through).

This is interesting. I have seen this mentioned before but I am afriad I do not fully understand it. Is it as simple as addressing a ball such that it is outside the left foot and taking half swings? Is the focus of the drill to improve the downswing/weightshift? Please elaborate if you dont mind.

The left side reaches for the target...right side reaches for the sky.

Are you supposed to hit the ball straight cos i can see dirty slice all over it if i try this one.

The 30, 40 and 50 foot lag putting drill (from Mickelson's short game dvd). Was doing it tonight after having a few bad putting rounds and hopefully got my putting back on track!
