The wall drill for shallowing the club

Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Starting down, the club drops onto the wall behind you instead of standing up above the hands, which puts it in the slot from the inside. Keeping it on the wall while you turn open trains the arm rotation that shallows the shaft.
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.
Set up with your back to a wall, about a foot and a half away from it.
Swing to the top, then let the club drop back onto the wall as you start down.
Keep the club on the wall as you rotate open, feeling the lead arm rotate in and the trail arm rotate out.
Hit balls recreating the same feeling, so the club shallows out and comes from the inside.
Common Mistake to Avoid
- Letting the club come off the wall early, so it steepens and comes from the outside.
