This 30-Second Drill Fixes Your Downswing #golf #golfswing #golfer #golflife
Dave from Golf-Ed demonstrates a simple 30-second slam ball drill to help golfers properly start their downswing from the ground up. By shifting pressure into the lead foot before the backswing finishes, golfers establish proper kinematic sequencing and ground force. This exercise eliminates arm-dominated downswings, steep club paths, and weak contact.
Initiate the downswing by shifting pressure into your front foot before your backswing fully finishes.
Force precedes motion: use your legs and core to generate power rather than pulling down with your hands and arms.
Practice posture turns with a 10 lb slam ball to build muscle memory for proper weight transfer without head sway.
Ensure your trail hip rotates through so it finishes closer to the target than your lead hip, preventing slides.
