Short Game · Drill

Use the helicopter drill to rehearse the shoulder rock

With your arms extended, rock back so the lead shoulder moves down. Return the shoulders toward level, then let the lead shoulder move upward through the impact area; the instructor uses this body-supported motion to bring the club out of the ground and carry its momentum through.
