Coaches who demonstrate the float load drill, each linked at the second they start.

1. Kerrod Gray Golf: How to Hit Your Driver Farther WITHOUT Swinging Harder (from 7:12). Make a full upper body turn to the top of your swing, pause briefly to feel the weight of the driver falling towards you, and allow the club angle to narrow before smoothly following through.
2. JChownGolf: I Was A Short Hitter Until I Completely SHUT OFF My Arms (from 9:12). Maintain relaxed wrists and wide arms during the backswing, letting the weight of the clubhead drop naturally behind as weight shifts to the lead foot.
3. James Ridyard: You can't teach everyone the same thing and expect them all to improve (from 0:46). A feel-based drill where the golfer focuses on softening the wrists during the transition to create a 'float' before pivoting through the shot.
4. Eric Cogorno Golf: The Secret To Leading With The Hips In The Golf Swing (2026 Version) (from 13:28). An advanced separation drill where the hands and club pull 'up and back' in the transition while the lower body aggressively shifts and rotates forward.
