The Simple Band Drill for a More Powerful Golf Swing
Kerrod Gray demonstrates a resistance band drill designed to eliminate lateral sway and promote proper hip rotation in the backswing. By looping a band around the knees, golfers can monitor knee spacing and trail-foot pressure to create a stable, powerful coil. This exercise helps improve swing consistency and distance.
Loop a resistance band around your knees to gain instant visual feedback on your backswing motion.
Correct rotation causes the distance between your knees to narrow slightly at the top, loosening the band.
Maintain weight pressure on the inside of your trail foot rather than letting it roll onto the outside edge.
Replacing a lateral slide with a centered turn creates a powerful coil and stabilizes your swing's low point.
