ARE YOU PLAYER OR A GOLFER? #golflesson #golfswing #wildbillmehlhorn #salmonte #golflife

MONTE’S GOLF presents a lesson on mastering the impact position by 'trapping' the golf ball. The instructor demonstrates the 'Drag Drill,' an exaggerated movement designed to instill the correct sensation of shaft lean and clubhead lag. Key technical focus includes bracing the lead knee to allow for a proper body revolution through the shot.

• Lock the lead knee at impact to provide a stable post for the body to turn around.
• Practice the 'Drag Drill' to feel the clubhead lagging behind the hands through the hitting zone.
• Trapping the ball is a specific sensation of 'drag' that occurs just before, during, and after impact.
• Avoid 'revolving up' or lifting out of the shot prematurely, which kills compression.
• Exaggerated drills are necessary to 'seep' the correct feelings into your full swing picture.
