Impact Tire Drill Tim Ritter, Assistant Golf Professional Click on the image to the left to watch Tim Ritter, Assistant Golf Professional at Arlington, teach you a drill you can do at home with your car. Using a towel, the tire of your car, and for best results - a 7 iron, this drill is great practice to set up your golf shot, rotate in a full body motion and generate power in your swing!
Chipping Drill with a Towel Nancy Harvey, LPGA Director of Player Development Here’s an easy chipping drill to help with low point control. Place a folded towel about the width of your foot directly behind the ball. Set-up with the ball just inside your back foot and your weight towards your front foot. We want to avoid attacking the ball too steeply and move the low point of the swing to the correct position which is right after you make contact with the ball. Notice in the video I am able to keep the club shallow but miss the towel because the low point is in the correct position. If your low point is to early you will hit the towel. Hitting the towel can be associated with “center of pressure issues” – how is your weight distributed. Either your center of pressure is not starting on your lead side (front foot) enough at set-up, or it is shifting backwards (towards your back foot) during the swing. Our goal is to keep our weight forward, the clubhead low and brush the ground after contact with the ball. This drill should help you to more consistently get the ball rolling on the green and increase your chances of chip-ins!!
