If your right shoulder is diving down and causing inconsistent contact, try these two drills. #golf

Mike Malaska demonstrates how an early push from the right leg causes the right shoulder to dive, leading to inconsistent contact. He introduces two balance-focused drills—standing on the lead foot to clear the hip and hitting from the trail foot—to stabilize the downswing. These exercises help golfers pull their right side forward into impact rather than collapsing downward.

• Pushing off the right foot too early in the downswing forces the right shoulder to drop down.
• Clearing the left hip effectively pulls the right side into the correct forward position.
• The 'Right Leg Balance Drill' helps identify if you are lunging forward or pushing too early.
• Consistent contact is a result of rotating the right side forward instead of pushing it down toward the ball.
