Golf drills that come with reps

What it fixes: The club coming over the top in the transition: shoulders first, hands late, face open, ball going right.

How: To the top. Start down only to hip height with the hands dropping and the chest quiet. Back to the top. Pump twice, swing through on the third.

Reps: 10 pumps without a ball, then 8 balls at half speed, then 8 at a bit more.

Check: If the ball starts right of the target, the hands drop but the face is not closing: slow down and let the forearms roll through.

What it fixes: The hips moving towards the ball in the downswing, the body lifting, the arms stuck behind: thin shots, pushes, weak flight.

How: Set up with a wall, a bag or a chair a hand's width behind your lead hip. Swing to impact keeping the hip in touch with it.

Reps: 10 slow swings without a ball touching the wall, then 8 balls at half speed with the bag a little further away.

Check: If you lose the wall before impact, stop and go back to the slow reps. The wall is the feedback; do not argue with it.

What it fixes: Hitting it fat: the club bottoming out behind the ball because the weight stays back or the hands flip early.

How: Draw a line on the grass (or lay a tee) and put the ball just behind it. The divot has to start on or after the line, never before.

Reps: 10 brushes without a ball, moving the brush forward, then 10 balls at half speed watching where the divot starts.

Check: A divot before the line twice in a row means the weight is not getting to the lead foot: go back to the brushes.

What it fixes: Losing balance through the ball: swinging too hard, falling back or forward, inconsistent contact.

How: Swing and hold the finish for two full seconds, weight on the lead foot, chest to the target, back foot on its toe.

Reps: 8 swings without a ball holding each finish, then 10 balls at a speed you can hold the finish on.

Check: If you cannot hold the finish, the swing was faster than your balance. Speed comes back once the balance is there.

What it fixes: No feel for the club face: a grip turned too far one way, the face opening or closing on its own.

How: Grip down to the steel with the lead hand only, make half swings and watch the face: toe up at hip height going back, toe up at hip height coming through.

Reps: 15 half swings with the lead hand, then 10 with both hands at half speed, then 8 balls.

Check: If the toe points at the sky at hip height but the ball still curves, the face is fine and the cause is the path: film it.

One change at a time, for weeks. Objective feedback (the wall, the line, the finish, the ball) wins over the feeling. If a change does not move the ball flight in five balls, drop it. And the drill you need is the one for your cause, which is why Morris looks at your video first: see the free swing analyzer and how to fix a slice.
