The Towel Drill That Fixed My Thin Shots #golftips #golf #golfswing
Scratch Golf Academy presents a simple yet effective towel drill designed to eliminate thin shots and tops. The instructor demonstrates how to shift the swing's low point ahead of the ball and achieve proper shaft lean through better weight transfer and head stability.
Thin shots and tops are caused by the swing's low point being behind or at the ball instead of ahead of it.
Use a towel as a visual and physical marker to train the club to brush the ground past the ball's position.
Achieving shaft lean is essential for compression and avoiding 'ugly' thin contact.
Placing an alignment stick or driver opposite your lead foot helps stabilize the head and prevents lunging during the drill.
Focus on feeling your hands get forward and your weight shift toward the target through impact.
