Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Teaches a dynamic pressure shift without excessive lateral mass movement. By stepping, you learn to spike pressure into the ground to stop momentum and convert it into rotation, rather than sliding the hips or upper body.
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
Start with the club out in front of you (follow-through position).
- 2
Step 2
Swing the club back while taking a step BACK with your lead foot.
- 3
Step 3

- 4
Step 4
Focus on shifting force ahead of the club on both sides while keeping your mass centered.
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.
