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
Follow these step-by-step instructions. Rehearse slowly to build proper motor patterns before adding full swing speed.
- 1
Step 1
Review the lead-hand placement before the club goes back.
- 2
Step 2
Set the trail hand so the grip supports a square face instead of holding the face open.
- 3
Step 3
Make slow rehearsals where the clubface can square naturally through the ball.
- 4
Step 4
Use short shots and ball flight feedback before moving back to full speed.
What Good Feels Like
Focus on smooth tempo and maintaining body connection through impact. Your body and club should move as a single synchronized unit.
Common Mistake to Avoid
Rushing transition before completing backswing or lunging upper body forward towards ball at impact. Keep movement controlled.
