Who is this drill best for?
This drill will be best for:
- Golfers who struggle with their takeaway
- Golfers who cannot get "on-plane" consistently
Required Materials and Equipment
For this drill, you will need:
- A minimum of 1, but preferably 2 alignment sticks
- This is ideally done on a artificial mat so that you don't have to adjust the alignment sticks after taking a divot
Drill Overview
Drill Instructions
- Place one alignment stick "parallel-left" of your target line
- Place another alignment stick directly behind the ball on your target line
- Before each shot, imagine there is a laser coming out of the end of your club and practice tracing that laser along the alignment stick
- With that feeling in mind, hit a golf shot
