Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)

This is a general grip evaluation drill for inferred face-control patterns. It is useful when ball flight suggests the face is influencing the miss more than the measured path.

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. Review the lead-hand placement before the club goes back.

  2. Set the trail hand so the grip supports a square face instead of holding the face open.

  3. Make slow rehearsals where the clubface can square naturally through the ball.

  4. Use short shots and ball flight feedback before moving back to full speed.
