Need some Help

I watched the door impact drill and got some very good contact on half shots ball rocketed off my 8 iron - what is best drill to promote this?

thanks

Hi Dom,

Welcome to the program. I have a number of clients in their 70's still enjoying the pursuit and journey of getting better. Good luck.

I do think it's helpful to understand the reasons we play well, as well as the reasons we play poorly. My whole goal is to help make that journey simpler. I think a great place to start is with the Build My Stock Swing course. It helps you connect the dots and understand the goals for the drills in addition to drawing attention to some of my favorite drills.

For instance, the door jam drill is great, so comparing that position to your actual swing would be helpful. When you look at your swing, you can pinpoint if you need to work more on the body, the arms, or both in order to get the club to move differently and achieve a different outcome.

The door jam can often identify body issues or arm and wrist issues. I have drills that are more specific for each of those that would be the "best complementary drill" but it depends no your personal issues. If you're having a hard time identifying it, feel free to post your swing here and I can help.

Happy Golfing,
Tyler

thanks Tyler - I am away at the moment but will be back this weekend Ill post my swing - funny thing is I hit the ball better when i make a conscience effort to not break my wrists through the swing - i get better compression when i do this - any drills related to this?

Hi Dom,

The hanger as a training aid jumps to mind as a way you might be able to feel “stiffer wrists”. Have you tried that?

Happy golfing,
