Full Swing · Drill

Move the ball forward to train compression

With a nine iron, move the ball from just ahead of center to outside the left foot. Try to contact the ball first and the ground later; the coach recommends this for players who strike behind the ball or fail to reach the front foot, but not as his preferred drill for a severe over-the-top move.
