This Ben Hogan Drill Changes Everything | Jimmy Ballard

Golf coach Jimmy Ballard demonstrates Ben Hogan's underhanded medicine ball toss drill to teach proper full-swing release mechanics. Using a heavy medicine ball prevents wrist flipping and hip sliding, training the body to release the entire right side and arms connectedly toward the target.

• The body releases the arms through impact, not the hands steering the club.
• Using a heavy medicine ball prevents flipping your hands or sliding your hips.
• Drive your entire right side toward the target through the downswing and follow-through.
• Proper body sequencing leads to a more powerful and repeatable release.
