Halfway Back Stop and Feel Drill
| Target Fault | Focus Area |

| Poor Rotation | Early Turn |
Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Provides instant feedback on the body's rotation (or lack thereof) in the first half of the backswing. Encourages the body to turn more in sync with the arms, preventing a hands-only start to the swing.
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.
Swing back halfway and stop (when lead arm is parallel to the ground).
Feel the amount of rotation achieved by your body.
Hit the shot immediately with that same feeling of rotation in mind.
