Josh Bell Golf shares a legendary training technique taught to Tiger Woods by his father, Earl Woods. The video demonstrates the 'Freeze Drill,' which focuses on pausing at the top of the backswing to build a more powerful and sequenced transition. By eliminating momentum, golfers learn to engage their lower body and core for a more consistent strike.
Take the club to the top of the backswing and come to a complete stop for 2-3 seconds.
Eliminating momentum at the top forces the lower body to initiate the downswing.
This drill helps identify if you are 'casting' or using your arms too much to start the downswing.
Practicing from a dead stop builds 'functional speed' and better sequencing.
Mastering this drill leads to improved impact consistency and compression.
