Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Reaching the hands out away from the body in the takeaway disconnects the arms and causes problems later in the swing. The glove under the lead armpit only stays in place while the arms move with the body, so it gives instant feedback on connection.
How to Perform the Drill
The coach gives no set rep count. Our general guideline: 3 sets of 10 slow rehearsal reps, then half swings with a ball, adding speed only once the steps feel natural.
Tuck a golf glove under your lead armpit.
Hit balls, keeping the glove pinned through the takeaway and backswing.
If the glove drops, your hands have reached out away from your body: keep them connected and a steady distance apart.
Use it as a range warm-up, or after a day when your contact has gone off.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Reaching the hands out away from the body in the takeaway.
- Letting the hands drift out in the backswing so the glove drops.
