Keep the lead arm straight at the top for width
Understand why a trapped club forces a flip
Club down and play the ball back on delicate chips- Swing from your upper body in fairway bunkers
- Avoid over-reading short uphill putts
Transfer the drag drill to an easy 3/4 nine-iron swing- Use the belly-button takeaway drill
- Club up on wedges for better contact
- Use the bounce on an open-face chip so it won't dig
- Dig your feet in on an uneven bunker lie
- Hit the ground behind your right foot then drag it forward
- Armpit-club drill to feel a straight lead arm
- Check club is outside or covering hands at nine o'clock
Start the downswing with a weight shift before the top
Shift left before starting your rotation- Exaggerate the butt-back feel in practice swings
- Alternate the drill with normal shots to learn it
- Lift the lead foot at the top to feel the transition
- Make a deeper, not flat, shoulder turn to free the hands
- Sequence the downswing: weight, hands, hips, chest
- Hit the 90/45/half backswing turn ratio
