This Simple Drill From Coach of World #1s Instantly Fixes Your Swing

Jerome Rufin works with elite coach Chris Como to fix issues with sliding during the golf transition. Como demonstrates a ground-force drill where the golfer keeps their back turned to the target while pushing hard into their lead foot to load power efficiently.

• Keep your back facing the target during the initiation of the downswing transition.
• Push laterally and vertically down into your lead foot to press into the ground.
• Avoid sliding your hips forward, which compromises power and balance.
• Feel a stretch in your lead hip/lat area as ground pressure increases before rotating through.
