The 3-Swing Secret To Effortless Tempo & Rhythm

Golf instructor Ashley Knoll demonstrates a simple three-swing pre-shot routine designed to eliminate downswing rushing and create effortless power. By utilizing the Open Hand Drill and focusing on clubhead weight, golfers learn to control trail-side dominance and maintain correct chest rotation through impact.

• Lighten your grip pressure so the clubhead feels heavier, especially at the bottom of the swing arc.
• Perform the Open Hand Drill prior to shots to set your natural swing path without over-controlling with your trail hand.
• Keep your chest facing back toward the ball during transition until reaching the pre-impact position before turning through.
