The Tommy Fleetwood drill is a specialized practice method centered on an abbreviated, 'sawed-off' follow-through designed to maximize ball-striking consistency and clubhead control. Primarily utilized by golfers who struggle with erratic contact or an 'over-swing' that collapses at the finish, this technique is a game-changer for everyone from high-handicappers to competitive single-digits. It solves the fundamental problem of a disconnected swing by forcing the body and club to work in a synch
Will shortening my follow-through make me lose distance?
Surprisingly, no. By using the 'braking system' taught by [Danny Maude](/creator/danielmaude), you actually increase the efficiency of energy transfer. Most golfers find they hit the ball further because their strike quality improves significantly.
How do I stop the club short without my swing feeling stiff or 'wooden'?
The key is to maintain a 'flowing' clubhead. Don't try to grip the club tighter to stop it; instead, use your lead leg and core to absorb the momentum. Think of it as a controlled deceleration rather than a rigid halt.
Can I use the Tommy Fleetwood drill for my driver?
Yes, but with caution. While it's great for control, ensure you aren't mimicking the 70/30 forward weight shift used for irons, as the driver requires a more neutral setup to hit up on the ball.
