Today I'm borrowing -- and altering -- a drill Bob Toski made popular in his book How to Feel a Real Golf Swing. The drill is called the "Hitchhiker Drill" and it's on page 33 of the book. Here's the illustration:
Toski uses this drill to teach proper hand movement at some point of your swing. The drill specializes in your lead arm -- in this case, it is his left arm.
But today I want you to do this drill while focusing on your TRAILING arm. Why? Because if you do, the Hitchhiker Drill is a wonderful way to improve your footwork and help you learn to turn to a full finish.
To get your trailing hand into the equal function because the illustration of Toski's lead hand, you truely MUST make a complete release into your end. For lots of you, this drill will limit your slices and hooks due to the fact you may discover ways to swing your palms and arms in series together with your body. Slicers have a tendency to forestall their swing earlier than the clubface can rectangular up. Hookers generally tend to forestall their swing after which flip their wrists to square up the clubface. Two one of a kind issues with the equal primary motive -- a body flip that prevents too quickly!
So give this variation of the Hitchhiker Drill a strive. In reality, try it each ways! You might be amazed simply what number of issues this one little drill can assist put off... And you do not even need a club to do it.
