Use a tee line to check your swing's low point

Craig Hanson demonstrates a low-point drill: put a couple of tees in the ground, scratch a line between them, and make practice swings hitting balls from that line so you can see where the club bottoms out. The line gives instant feedback on where your low point is - his lands in front of the line, while he says most people bottom out with their low point back or actually on the ball. He puts the ideal low point around three to four inches in front (a figure he says is being tested) and adds that practicing it promotes weight transference and increases lag.
