Improve Your Clubface Control with the Screwdriver Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Practice flexing your left wrist and extending your right for better impact alignment
- Understand how to rotate the clubface around the shaft axis rather than moving the shaft
- Feel the difference in your wrist actions to achieve a more reliable ball flight
In this video, you'll learn the Screwdriver Drill to enhance your clubface control during the transition and release. This drill will help you square the clubface effectively, leading to more consistent strikes.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.980
This drill is the screwdriver drill, or the TV remote screwdriver drill.
2
00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:12.850
So, if you remember from the concept video, during transition, during release,
3
00:00:12.850 --> 00:00:13.220
we want
4
00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:18.140
to make sure that we're squaring the club face by rotating the face around the
5
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:18.500
axis
6
00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:25.760
of the shaft as opposed to squaring the face by moving the entire shaft.
7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.580
So, just as a quick little reminder, if I have my hands ahead and the club face
8
00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:32.360
is open like
9
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:38.700
so, I can either square it by rotating the face just by turning the shaft or by
10
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.120
moving
11
00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:43.320
the entire shaft behind like so.
12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.290
We would prefer doing it this way because that will allow us to have the bottom
13
00:00:47.290 --> 00:00:47.760
of the swing
14
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:50.440
ahead of the golf ball and hit the ball solidly.
15
00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:55.500
So it's a weird move if you remember from the motorcycle drill, it's a weird
16
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:56.100
move if
17
00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:57.560
you're not used to doing it.
18
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.020
So, you want to get used to doing it with something that's very safe, different
19
00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:01.320
from
20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:02.320
the golf club.
21
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.530
So, we're going to take the trusty TV remote or Sharpie, take your normal grip,
22
00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:06.960
and you're
23
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.820
going to practice just flexing the left wrist and extending the right wrist
24
00:01:13.820 --> 00:01:14.880
like so.
25
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:18.350
And then, if you get really brave, you can go from here and then you can put it
26
00:01:18.350 --> 00:01:18.800
in that
27
00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:19.800
delivery position.
28
00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:23.930
If you get even braver, you can go here, put it in delivery position, and then
29
00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:24.560
extend the
30
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.280
arms trying to keep this left wrist bowed right wrist cup.
31
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:32.550
This would be just after impact because my body would have the shift, the
32
00:01:32.550 --> 00:01:33.440
weight shift,
33
00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:35.600
the side bend and all the rotation that we talk about.
34
00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:43.160
So, it's a good thing to just practice letting these wrist work like so, which
35
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:44.480
is left wrist
36
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.620
that is flexing like this, and the right wrist is going to be extending for a
37
00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:49.320
right hand
38
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:50.320
and golfer.
39
00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:54.220
Those combined do that movement, and that helps square the club face early so
40
00:01:54.220 --> 00:01:54.720
that you
41
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:56.080
don't have to flip it at the bottom.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.980
