MY 5 BEST LESSONS<br />
Swing cross-handed to improve your impact<br />
2Irons are a little different to the more<br />
and get into a lot of good positions.<br />
and timing with your wrists and<br />
natural approach I take to driving<br />
One of the best drills I use that’s helped<br />
promotes a good impact position. It’s<br />
because I have a lot of drills that I do.<br />
me do this is the cross-handed swing.<br />
best to do this with a 9-iron. Start out<br />
My natural shot is a straight ball<br />
Swinging with your left hand below the<br />
without a ball before introducing one<br />
because I have a very traditional swing<br />
right encourages the correct cocking<br />
when you feel comfortable.<br />
It’s virtually impossible<br />
not to achieve this<br />
fantastic cocked wrist<br />
position at hip height<br />
with a cross-handed grip<br />
and it makes it hard for<br />
you to release it too early<br />
in the downswing, which<br />
is a very common fault.<br />
The proper uncocking<br />
of the wrists in the<br />
downswing<br />
encourages<br />
compression at<br />
impact and fantastic<br />
arm extension. This<br />
will greatly improve<br />
your ball striking and<br />
consistency.<br />
