EXACTLY WHAT COMPRESSION SHOULD FEEL LIKE! (Must Try Drill!)
PGA coaches Kerrod Gray and Alex Riggs demonstrate the Push Drill to teach golfers true ball compression at impact. By pressing against an immovable object, players instantly feel proper weight transfer to the lead side, forward shaft lean, and body rotation. The video demonstrates how to progress this feel into short shots and full swings to move the low point past the ball.
Use the Push Drill against your shoe or a heavy object to feel forward shaft lean and lead-side pressure.
Proper compression requires open hips and an extending chest moving through impact.
Shift your swing's low point ahead of the ball to achieve crisp, pro-level turf interaction.
Progress from the static push drill to a preset impact position with mini backswings before hitting full shots.
