Question Your Swing — Golf Drill

Look, we’ve all been there: standing over the ball, mid-round, wondering why our 7-iron suddenly feels like a sledgehammer. "Question Your Swing" golf drills are specific movement patterns designed to help golfers—from high handicappers to competitive sticks—fix a steep [downswing](/learn/downswing). By transforming a vertical, "chopping" motion into a shallow, inside-out path, you solve the dreaded slice and inconsistent contact that plagues most amateur games. You think you're swinging "down,"

How long does it take to see results with the '2 drill'?

Most golfers feel the difference in clubhead path within 20-30 deliberate, slow-motion reps. However, to see it reflected in your ball flight consistently, expect to practice the drill for 3-4 range sessions.

What if I start hitting the ground before the ball (fat shots)?

Fat shots usually mean you are shallowing the club but failing to rotate your hips. Ensure that as the club drops into the '2' path, your lead hip is clearing toward the target.

Can I practice 'Question Your Swing' drills at home?

Absolutely. You don't even need to hit a ball. Use a weighted club or even a coat hanger to practice the 'question mark' hand path in front of a mirror to verify your [downswing](/learn/downswing) plane.
