Unlock Tour Level Ball Striking Instantly! (This Works So Well!)

Rob Cheney demonstrates a powerful drill designed to instantly improve ball striking by placing a tee 5-6 inches in front of the ball. This technique forces the golfer to shift their weight forward and maintain shaft lean to reach the target, effectively compressing the ball. Cheney also covers how to maintain a proper swing path and provides tips for transferring these feels to the golf course.

• Great ball striking requires weight on the lead leg and forward shaft lean at impact.
• Placing a visual target (like a tee) 6 inches in front of the ball moves the swing's low point forward.
• To avoid an out-to-in path when reaching for a forward target, use a noodle or obstacle to guide the swing arc.
• On the course, look 1-2 inches in front of the ball to encourage hitting the ground after contact.
• Practice swings should always focus on striking the ground on the target side of the ball.
