The Practice Drill For Every Golfer

Top 50 Golf Coach Alistair Davies shares the 'Feet Together' drill, a practice staple recommended by legendary coach Pete Cowan. This exercise forces golfers to maintain balance and proper sequencing while encouraging a natural release of the hands through impact, making it particularly effective for those who struggle with a slice.

• Standing with feet together restricts lateral swaying and forces the body to rotate correctly.
• The drill highlights poor shoulder sequencing; if you move incorrectly, you will lose your balance immediately.
• It encourages a natural release of the hands, which is a key fix for golfers who slice the ball.
• Practicing with a narrow base helps golfers find the low point of their swing arc more consistently.
