Full Swing · Drill

No-wrist, around-the-body half-swing drill

As a first drill, the coach has you hit short pitch/chip-length shots with quiet, 'dead-wristed' hands and no wrist hinge, going back about halfway and through halfway. Instead of lifting the arms up and chopping down, you take the club back behind you and around your body and turn through into the shot. He frames the goal as a more direct, powerful move.

Try it

  1. take the club back without using your wrists
  2. only going back about halfway, and going through, halfway, really short pitch chip shots
  3. dead-wristed, no wrists, taking club more back behind us, around our body

Why this context matters

Presented as the fix for the 'chopping' fault described earlier in the video.
