Hey guys, today we've got a great drill to improve your golf game. What I like about this drill here, you don't have to go to the range. If you're not that guy, that's okay. All it takes is 3 to 5 minutes at home a day, and you're gonna have a really much improved golf game. It's very simple, guys. This requires an alignment stick here. Lay that down as your target line. Take your setup here. Now simply pull the shaft up so your hand's about 12 inches from the clubhead. That's your setup position. Now, we've got 3 steps to work on here today. First step is what? Turn and hinge here about a 3/4 backswing. We want to see this shaft here, guys, either in line with our target line here or possibly pointing a little bit inside. What we do not want to see is the shaft starting to what? Point outside that line. It's going to create all kinds of issues and trouble for our downswing and impact position. So remember, first step, turn You get this shaft here, so it's pointing where? Toward the target line or slightly inside. Yes, I know it's not a full backswing, but it kind of gets us on the correct path. Step 2: Start your downswing. Go ahead and brace your front foot. Let your arms drop. The shaft should be lined up toward our target line now. That's very critical so now I can deliver the club down to the golf ball on the correct path. If we see the shaft starting to go outside here or too much inside here, guys, you're gonna have a hard time delivering the golf club on the correct path to the golf ball. And number 3, once we've got achieved number 1 and number 2, go ahead and work to your impact position here. I want to see the shaft now in line with my left arm, hips are opening, and the clubface is nice and square here. When I've got that, guys, I'm gonna hit a lot of great shots. Straight. What we don't want to see is holding on to it with a shaft out here or trying to, what, flip too much here, hitting our side. That doesn't work. Remember, bring the arms down, bring the club head down, let the hips open up. You're gonna be in great position right here. You can do that drill right there, guys, so it becomes one motion. When you can achieve that, guys, you're gonna improve your golf game. If you need more help, go see your local PGA Pro, come see me at Pelican Hill, or go to GeneticGolf.com.
