Full Swing · Drill

Roll onto the outside of the lead foot drill

Craig Hanson gives a drill to groove lateral shift and shaft lean. Before you start, take a practice swing, get the right leg to squeeze in to close up the gap with your thighs, which he says gives you some shift and helps you open, then roll onto the outside of the lead foot and hold that balance for 10, 20, 30, even a minute. He describes it as programming the move and getting it connected to a feel.
