Pressure into the Heel Drill
| Target Fault | Focus Area |

| Poor Rotation | Trail Leg Stability |
Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Ensures stability in the trail leg and prevents the pressure from shifting too far to the toes. Keeping the pressure in the heel promotes proper internal hip rotation, which is necessary for a full turn.
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 sand wedge (or a clubhead) under your right heel.
As you rotate in your backswing, actively push your right heel into the ground, applying pressure to keep the club stable.
Focus on maintaining this heel pressure throughout the backswing.
