Lead Hand Anchor Drill (Fastest Sway Fix)

Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Anchoring the lead side forces the body to coil (rotate) around a steady axis. You cannot sway laterally without physically moving the anchor club, providing instant feedback.
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.
Place a club vertically outside your lead foot (left foot for righties).
Hold the top of this club with your lead hand to anchor it.
Make one-handed backswings with your trail arm.
Focus on keeping the vertical club steady or pushing it slightly down/in towards the ball.
If you sway, you will push the vertical club out towards the target (hitting the back of it).
