Golf: Feet Asleep / Awake

Wow what a great website, I have found Sportplan an important tool...
Monique

DESCRIPTION

  • To encourage the pupil to develop feel for the correct lower body action during the swing.

    Encourage the pupil to make their swing imagining that their feet are asleep and steady during the backswing (1) and the rear foot wakes up in the forward swing (2). This is a particularly useful feeling for pupils who have overacting lower body motion in the backswing and little weight shift in the forward swing.

    Gate:

  • To encourage the pupil to develop central club face contact

    Place 1 or 2 tees either side of the object tee or ball to create a ?gate? for the club to swing through at impact (1). Start with a fairly wide gate, gradually narrowing as the pupil improves their skill. A similar drill is achieved with just one tee on the outside of the ball (2).

    Clip the Tee/s | Start Golf - Long Game - Exercises

    Clip the Tee/s:

  • To encourage the pupil use their hand eye coordination to create the correct depth perception and confidence for good ball striking.

    Encourage the pupil to swing clipping a golf tee out of the ground during the forward swing (1). The tee can be pressed into the ground more as the pupil gains confidence and skill. The smaller target (than the ball) encourages focus and makes the skill seem easier when the larger ball is introduced.

    Balanced For Success:

  • To encourage the pupil to develop a feel for the correct balance following the posture drill

    Encourage the pupil to follow the Bow and bounce exercise, then without moving the club or body position excessively, encourage the pupil to rock between the heels (1) and toes (2) to ensure the weight is correctly balanced on the balls of the feet.
