Snap a towel to train clubhead speed

The instructor uses a towel drill run at 64 miles an hour. Wind the hands up high until the towel almost ends up on the left shoulder, then wind back down and snap the towel so it almost goes taut.

Try it

  1. Wind it up and get the hands what feel like a lot higher, so the towel's going to almost end up on your left shoulder
  2. From here, all I want you to do is wind back down again
  3. But the aim is to snap the towel, so it almost goes taut here

Why this context matters

From a live lesson with a near-beginner (the instructor's videographer, Leo).
