Unlock Power & Accuracy with This Simple, Unexpected Drill! #golf #golfer #golfswing #golflife
Instructor Golf-Ed demonstrates a unique 'Garden Rake Drill' designed to build power and clubface control simultaneously. By utilizing the weight and flat surface of a rake, golfers learn to rotate their bodies and maintain a square leading edge relative to their sternum, eliminating the common 'hand-flip' error. This exercise transitions into over-speed training when moving back to a standard driver.
Align the leading edge of the rake parallel to your sternum at setup for better face awareness.
Engage larger muscle groups by practicing with a heavier object like a garden rake to build 'muscle antagonism'.
Start the downswing with your legs while the rake is still reaching the top of the backswing to create natural lag.
Maintain the position of your hands in front of your belt buckle through the impact zone to keep the face square.
Switch between the heavy rake and your driver to translate the feel into increased clubhead speed.
