The Gravity Drill: Master Shallowing in Transition
Purpose of the Drill
The gravity drill helps you shallow the club during the transition from the backswing to the downswing, leading to a more efficient and consistent swing path.
Steps to Practice
1. Start with Lead Hand Only
-
Grip the club with your top hand only.
-
Swing to the top, then let gravity pull the clubhead down naturally before swinging through.
2. Add Both Hands
-
Repeat the same movement, now using both hands.
-
Feel gravity working to shallow the club in the transition.
3. Incorporate Golf Balls
-
Initially, expect mishits as the club approaches the ball from a new, improved position.
-
With practice, this leads to better ball-striking, especially with irons.
Benefits
The gravity drill promotes a more natural swing transition, leading to improved impact and consistency over time. Embrace the process and practice regularly for the best results.
