Who is this drill best for?
This drill will be best for:
- Golfers who "sway" a lot in their swing
- Golfers who struggle with weight shift or keeping their balance through the swing
- Golfers who struggle to release the club properly
Required Materials and Equipment
For this drill, you will need:
- 20-30 range balls
- At least 100 yards to hit
Drill Overview
The goal of the feet together drill is to train your body to swing with good rhythm and balance.
Drill Instructions
- Grab a short iron or a wedge (don't hit anything greater than a 9 iron)
- Put your feet together (nearly touching)
- Practice hitting 50-75% golf swings while focusing on keeping your balance
Drill Variations
This drill has one variation.
Step-through Variation
As a variation of the feet together drill, you can "step through" the shot after you've hit the ball.
By doing this, you will feel the weight shift in a more pronounced way and it will train your body to always be moving the weight in a forward direction.
This variation is great for golfers who find themselves "falling back" at the end of their golf swings.
