DRILL OF THE MONTH

By: Bob Schade

Those of you who have taken a lesson from me know that I am not a big believer in teaching aids. I think that your own body can be manipulated under most circumstances to take care of golf’s most devastating problems. Here is a drill that will help you hit more shots with a draw.

1. Take your normal address position with a driver.

2. Tee the ball up.

3. Lift your left toe up in the air.

4. Pivot your left toe to the right, pointing at the ball.

5. Take a complete swing.

This drill stabilizes the left hip. This drill also slows the rotation of your body. Remember that in order to hit the ball with a draw your arms must be swinging faster than your body is turning. Practice this drill and you will be amazed at how quickly your ball shape will change. Remember that you should do 5 of the drill and then 5 normal swings. Good luck and good golfing! I have assembled an archive of tips on my blog www.bobschade.blogspot.com and of course my website www.bobschade.com is a great resource to help you play better golf.
