A great golf swing isn't force - it's built through feel

Scratch Golf Academy presents a single-handed drill using the trail hand to build a fluid, natural golf swing plane. By lightly holding the club choked down in the fingers, players allow the clubhead's natural weight to hinge the wrists and create an effortless, continuous motion.

• Choke up near the bottom of the grip using only the fingers and thumb of your trail hand.
• Start without a ball, letting the clubhead hover slightly off the turf.
• Swing the club back and forth softly, then add slight body motion to create natural rhythm.
• Allow the weight of the clubhead to naturally hinge your wrist and trace a proper swing plane without forcing it.
