Gate Drill - Stop A Slice Club Path
Place two Tees or objects in the ground to create a gate going off to the right. Place one object to the right of the ball and just outside the golf ball, and place one object to the left of the golf ball and just inside the golf ball. This gives a visual for the path that the club will need to go through impact. If you are used to coming over the top, this path will look like it is pointed WAY to the right.

This is the gate drill and it's a good visual drill for helping you overcome
2
00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:04.920
the
3
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:10.380
cast or upper body dominant swing pattern. So what I've done here is I've I'm
4
00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:13.960
setting up to my golf ball and I've taken an object in this case I've used head
5
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:19.560
covers but you can use tees golf balls swim noodles anything to just create a
6
00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:23.760
little visual barrier. So what I did was I took one and I put it about a foot
7
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.480
behind the golf ball and a few inches forward and then I took one and put it
8
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:32.240
about a foot in front of the golf ball and a few inches towards me. What this
9
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:32.440
is
10
00:00:32.440 --> 00:00:37.240
done is this is created the visual of a gate that I want the club to swing
11
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.640
directly through. So if I were to set up to the golf ball go to the top of the
12
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.520
swing and do the upper body dominant swing pattern you could see that the club
13
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.480
would probably hit both of these two objects. So what you're gonna try to do
14
00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:54.200
is when you bump you're gonna try to keep your back to the target longer and
15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.720
you'll feel like the club or you'll see the club swing a little bit more out to
16
00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:03.920
right field through this nice gate. This is a good drill that you can do where
17
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.720
you're actually hitting golf balls and getting used to the path of a club
18
00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:08.720
coming
19
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:12.920
through more from the inside. This should help a lot with overcoming the
20
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.400
visual barrier and if you can learn to go from outside to inside if you
21
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:16.680
remember
22
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.920
from the overview video that can produce tremendous gains and distance so this
23
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:26.920
could be your one magic drill for gaining that 20, 30, 40 yards. So this is the
24
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.920
gate drill it's one of the best for learning the proper path of the club
25
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.760
should swing through on your stock swing. You can do the 9 to 3 swings and you
26
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:38.200
can actually do full shots with this working on the visual of how the club is
27
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.840
going to swing through.
