Why this drill works
A neutral path with hook or draw curve points toward inferred closed face-to-path evidence. This drill gives the player a grip checkpoint so they can evaluate face closure rate before rebuilding the swing path.
How to do it
- 1
Check whether the hands are set too strong before the swing starts.
- 2
Neutralize the lead hand enough that the face does not want to shut immediately through impact.
- 3
Make slow waist-high swings and monitor whether the clubface is rolling closed too early.
- 4
Hit small shots and use the start line and curve to confirm the ball is not over-drawing from a closed face-to-path relationship.
