Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)

Enforces the correct kinematic sequence: Hips -> Torso -> Arms -> Club.

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.

  1. Take your setup and go to the top of the backswing.

  2. Pause completely.

  3. Initiate downswing by stepping the lead foot into the ground (pressure shift) BEFORE moving hands.

  4. Feel the separation between lower body and upper body.
