The "Anti-Hook" (Right Foot
Back) drill
With your square shoulders, place a headcover in back of, and
to the right of the ball (see picture below). Consequently,
this will leave room for the club to swing through, and left,
on the downswing -- on an "outside-in" path.
This drill works on the following:
1) A downswing that is a little more from "outside-in"
(since you are wanting to eliminate coming from too "inside-out"
on your downswing), and having a more rounded look, and
feel, to your swing shape.
2) It may improve your backswing, but it will especially
improve your "forward" swing shape!
3) After you hit some fades by doing this drill, then
try to hit STRAIGHT shots!
4) With this drill, you’ll notice, in this order:
On the downswing that your left hip is turning out; your
left leg is firming up; and your left foot is staying fairly
flat. Also, your backswing now feels more complete
– being able to make a bigger turn. Plus, your shaft
look/angle/finish will be more horizontal, than vertical.
Your clubshaft was getting too vertical (finishing “high”)
as a result of being too "inside-out" before.
IN THIS DRILL, THE SETUP IS THE SAME (SQUARE
SHOULDERS AND YOUR RIGHT FOOT DROPPED BACK A BIT FROM YOUR
SQUARE AND PARALLEL STANCE) AS THAT OF THE “ANTI-SLICE” DRILL
THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER IN THESE GOLF TIPS/NOTES. HOWEVER,
THE DIFFERENCE NOW IS THAT BEING THE BETTER PLAYER/LOW HANDICAPPER
THAT YOU ARE, THE FEELING I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO OBTAIN IS
MORE OF A "FORCED/CONSCIOUS" EFFORT OF FEELING OPPOSITES
– REALLY WORKING THE CLUB "ACROSS" AND "AROUND"
YOUR BODY ON THE DOWNSWING.
MOREOVER, THIS DRILL IS MAKING THE ATTEMPT TO SEEK THE SAME
TYPE RESULTS AS THAT OF THE "LEFT TOE BACK" DRILL THAT I
MENTIONED EARLIER IN THESE GOLF TIPS/NOTES. HOWEVER,
IN THIS “ANTI-HOOK” DRILL, THE MOVE IS A BIT MORE DIFFICULT
TO OBTAIN ON THE DOWNSWING BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE NOW
HAVE OUR RIGHT FOOT DROPPED BACK, INSTEAD OF OUR LEFT FOOT;
CONSEQUENTLY, "FORCING" YOU TO MAKE THAT SLIGHT "OVER THE
TOP" MOVE ("OUTSIDE-IN"), A BIT MORE DIFFICULT/DEMANDING,
WHEN THE CLUB IS ON THE WAY DOWN. THIS DRILL
ENCOURAGES MUCH MORE LEFT HIP ROTATION, RATHER THAN SLIDING
IT TOWARD THE TARGET. MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO START THE
BALL LEFT OF YOUR TARGET AND BRING IT BACK TO THE RIGHT --
YOU WILL START TO FEEL A "FIRMNESS" IN YOUR LEFT SIDE THAT
HAS BEEN MISSING FROM YOUR SWING. ONCE AGAIN, THIS
DRILL IS ONLY FOR THE BETTER PLAYER/LOW HANDICAPPER. |
