Full Swing · Drill

Draw a line in the sand to control low point

To groove consistent ball striking, draw a line in a bunker where it's safe to make full swings, set the club on the line, take it back, and strike so the divot starts on the front edge of the line. That shows the proper angle of attack and where the club enters the ground, and helps you get through the ground more consistently.
