So here's my situation, I'm currently in Afghanistan and in my off time I'm trying to keep my game at the same level or even improve. Ive been here 7 months and will be headed home soon. And ive run out of drills to do. I only have a sand wedge so no putting but ive probably chipped into a bascket a millions times and I don't have more then a 4by4 srech of carpet for bump and run. Any new drills you can think of indoor would be preferalble since I only have two balls and don't want to be casing them all over. Any help would be appreciated

I spend 6 months of the year abroad working in the oil industry. I use indoor balls (styrofoam not plastic!) and hit them off a mat in the squash court. You get a realiable ball flight and if you hit yourself in the back with the ball you know it was a good one!

I also have a swing trainer club which has a short shaft and a weight on the end. It also has a moulded 'correct' grip.  I bring it everywhere on my travels and its great for practicing in front of the mirror without the risk of putting your club head through the wall!

    • I think it’s more about conservation of angular momentum. If the hands didn’t slow down you wouldn’t release it and the clubhead would barely be moving faster than the hands. The hands start pulling up and back as you near impact, which makes the club rotate around its own CoM as well as rotating around the system, which makes it move faster, which as you noted is the idea.    You can watch all this happen if you find a YouTube video of a pro golfer face on and go frame by frame you can measure on your screen how far each piece moves per frame. As those distances change that’s acceleration and deceleration. You’ll see the hands slowing down and the clubhead speeding up
    • I see, so it must have to do with the shaft being flexible and bending as you swing it. 
    • The hands have to slow down to get maximum club head speed at impact. They are essentially braking to crack the whip so to speak.
