No Practice? No Problem! Find the Sweet Spot Every Time With This Trick!
Alistair Davies demonstrates how to achieve a tour-level sequence by starting the downswing with the lower body before the backswing is complete. Using the 'Stamp Drill,' he explains how to shift pressure early to eliminate over-the-top moves and ensure pure contact with the sweet spot.
The ideal sequence is the lower half leading the torso, which leads the arms, then the clubhead.
Initiate the downswing pressure shift when the arms and chest are only halfway through their backswing.
Use the 'Stamp Drill' to feel the lead foot ground itself while the upper body is still rotating back.
A poor sequence usually involves the upper body starting the downswing too early, leading to a slice or 'wipe' across the ball.
Practice in progressions: start with short 'stamp' shots, move to three-quarter swings, and finally full shots.
