if you're new to the channel I do a lot of golf tip and drill videos to get your
game in shape in a hopefully fun and creative exciting non-boring traditional
golf lesson style of a way so hit the subscribe button and the bell
notification so you don't miss anything let's get to the video okay here's what
you need for this drill you need to be about thirty yards away from your net
which is out there very important you can do this at the range however I want
you to have something very specific at about thirty yards that you're going to
hit that's the key okay so for me it's my net then get a couple alignment
sticks this is what you're gonna do I am going to line these up like this and I
want the center of it pointed directly at something my target I'm gonna be very
very precise Here I am I want the exact center of that axe so I'm gonna just
line those up perfectly if I put my club down the center shot wanna I mean I'm
I'm lasering this thing in there it's perfectly right on the center of that
axe now I want to use a 7-iron five six seven four five six seven right in there
but I like a seven then I'm gonna hit just pitch shots with my 7 iron right
into that axe now the key here is to take that club back perfectly straight I
do not want to bring if you bring it to the inside too much the ball is going to
start out too far to the right watch by bringing in here
it goes a little right and you can hit that a little heavy too so we don't want
to do that that's a different shot with the wedge that's something totally
different if I bring it too far outside
if I come out here that's no good either
my balls gonna go way lap so I want to make sure I go straight back straight
through no no wrist motion I'm not opening that face I'm just going here
and rotate through just right to here and rotate my body around and I want to
make sure I hit the net every time the best I can I want it to start exactly on
that X so I'm just gonna take it straight back right in here
and rotate through my feet are a little more close together here from a feet are
balls in the center my stand hands are slightly forward just rotating the hips
around and rotate through
pretty good
this drill is so critical for learning how to take the club back properly on a
straight line and then coming through with good rotation and very little hand
rotation through impact we don't want any of that we're a very subtle hands
very subtle wrist and then all this practice all this work will translate
into your full swing and you'll start firing it straight every single time but
we've got to get this piece down first so just practice with this type of setup
maybe you live in a colder climate this would be perfect just if you've got the
space hit these pit shots with your 7-iron start grooving that first part of
your ball flight you're going to groove your backswing you're going to groove
your follow-through and you can groove your body rotation and your weight
transfer as you rotate those hips so I hit the net I was a little right so that
means I took it a little too far inside so I want to adjust for that I want it
perfect every time everything is square square shoulders square hips everything
matches my alignment sticks once I get too far in here I'm gonna miss a touch
to the right if I take it back a little too far outside I'm gonna hold it a
little bit laughs if I take it back right in here
I should be good
always check your clubface - to make sure that's perfectly square butt it up
against the back of the mat just so you know it's perfectly square and then
transfer that to your ball and you're good
you'll really find that when you work on this area the most BAM your accuracy
increases dramatically I like a seven iron a six iron five iron with this
drill because look it's 30 yards if I hit this 40 50 yards it's still gonna be
low enough to knock over my fence so that's good so that's why I work on this
chipping pitching with these longer mid mid to long irons so that we really work
on that first part of our ball flight that's critical because that's our swing
path we want to get that down perfect get that swing path down then all we
have to do is adjust the face a little bit
if it starts curving too much that's easier but the swing the swing adjusting
that getting that going in the right direction that's a little more difficult
so we want to make sure we got that down so we know we can start the ball where
we're looking every single time
there you go that's the drill it's just making sure that we're starting the ball
exactly where we're looking every single time it's gonna help your game
