Swing Path Drills
|
|
|
- Hit balls next to a 2 x 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Place two clubs parallel to each other and swing between them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Just swing the club and take a divot. Then take a step and swing again. Continue doing this. Then check to see if the divots are in a straight line.

- Trail Leg Back (see Release Drill). This drill is also effective for preventing a student from casting the hands and arms away from the body in the transition from backswing to forward swing or, as many call, "coming over the top." Have the student pull the trail leg back behind the line and focus on keeping the heel of the trail leg in the starting position as he/she swings back and through. This will allow the athlete to keep their back to the target a few second longer and allow for the arms and trailing elbow to drop into the proper path when changing directions. If the student throws the hands and arms away from the trail shoulder (casting) when making this transition, the chest will open to the target and trail heel will rise too early.
