Use the ant drill to prevent address tension

Place a small piece of grass between the back of the grip at three o'clock and the index-finger pad, imagining it as an ant. Do not squeeze it at address; pressure may increase from the club during the change of direction, but the player should not deliberately crush it.

Try it

  1. Put a little piece of grass between the backside of the grip at three o'clock and your index finger pad.
  2. Don't kill the ant at address.
  3. When you change direction, the club might kill the ant, but you're never going to kill the ant.
