Full Swing · Drill

Set two balls to feel tilt and turn with a driver

A driver drill for feeling the combination of tilt and turn: address one ball and place a second ball about a yard outside it, with the arms at about a 45-degree angle, palms pointed down and elbows tucked in. Tilt until the club points about a yard outside the ball. In the backswing, turn until you can no longer see your trail shoulder; through the ball the target is about half a yard when the arms are parallel to the ground. He says turning and tilting together, rather than just bending over, takes pressure off your back.
