Wall drill to feel lag and stored power

A drill to stop throwing power away early. Stand about two to three feet from a wall (or net), place the club at the top of the backswing, then start down until the clubhead touches the wall, and keep the clubhead dragging on the wall as you swing down. Do it five to ten times, then rehearse a swing without the wall, imagining it is there.

Try it

  1. Place your body about a couple feet away from the wall. So, about two to three feet.
  2. Place your club at the top of backswing, and then start your downswing to the point where the club's about here.
  3. You want the club head to stay on the wall. So, as you swing down, look at that.
  4. Do this about five to ten times.
  5. After you've done about five or ten, just rehearse one without the wall. Imagine the wall is there.

Why this context matters

Needs a hard surface (wall/net) that goes to the floor.
