Stop FAT Shots! This 2 SECONDS Drill Beats 200 HRS On The Range
PGA Teaching Professional Bob Menzies demonstrates a zero-cost drill using a crushed aluminum can to eliminate fat shots and improve compression. By placing the can behind the ball, golfers are forced to create more lag and forward shaft lean to avoid hitting the obstacle. The video also covers visual aids like Martin Hall's 'pool' concept to ensure the hands lead the clubhead into impact.
Place a crushed can exactly three golf balls behind your target ball to fix your low point.
The 'Letter L' position (lag) is essential to keep the clubhead from hitting the ground early.
Focus on weight shifting toward the target to move the bottom of your swing arc forward.
Visualize your hands entering a 'shallow pool' before the clubhead to ensure downward compression.
Use the 'hitchhike' thumb-up feel to prevent casting and maintain shaft lean.
