A Golf Drill For Making Consistent Shots
The only consistent thing about all amateur golfers is their inconsistency. They will play three holes and not hit one good shot. Then they hit thee good shots in a row which inevitably keeps them coming back for more. Hitting consistently is a must in the game of golf. Many players look down the line & let their clubs get too vertical on the downswing.
This can be the cause for three unwanted golf shots;
1 - Taking too much turf 2 - Steep divots 3 - A ball spinning off to the right.
The key to avoiding these three common errors is having a good initial setup.
Let's look at an example. If you have too much bend in your upper body & your arms extend to far away from your body, there could be a lot of tilt. This specific example can be responsible for four common problems:
1. The club head getting too vertical on the back swing. 2. Steepness in your back swing. 3. The club getting stuck in the ground. 4. A reverse rotation of your arms.
Standing taller at address & getting the end of your golf club more toward your belt buckle, will put you in an ideal set up position.
Doing all of this doesn't necessarily mean that your swing will get more "rounded out" or produce a consistent shot. The good news is that there is a simple drill to help out...
Let's Call This The 15, 10, 5 Drill
This easy drill consists of four steps.
Step #1 - Take a practice swing with the ball 15 inches above the ground. By swinging so high, you should observe a nice rounded swing (almost like a baseball swing). Remember after the swing through to square up the clubface.
Step #2 - Now take another practice swing with the ball 10 inches above the ground. Swing right around & through it.
Step #3- Now, take another practice swing with the ball 5 inches off the ground. Again, swing right around & through it.
Step #4 - Finally, try it from the tee. Make sure the grip end of your golf club is pointing at your belt buckle.
