Comment "PURE" if you'd like to fix your inconsistent contact and compress the ball better than ever

Rob Cheney Golf demonstrates a simple trail ear obstacle drill to prevent swaying off the ball during the backswing. By keeping the upper body centered using a doorframe or range station, golfers can achieve consistent ball-first contact and better ball compression.

• Position an obstacle or doorframe 1 to 2 inches away from your trail ear at address.
• Keep your head centered during the backswing without swaying laterally to the trail side.
• Focus on achieving ball-first, ground-second contact for solid compression.
• Practice this station indoors with a doorframe or on the driving range while striking balls.
