Clay Ballard from Top Speed Golf demonstrates the Helicopter Drill to help golfers neutralize their swing plane and maintain proper posture through impact. By coordinating shoulder turn and forearm rotation, this drill prevents over-the-top slicing and side-leaking shots for straighter driver drives.
Extend your arms like helicopter blades to feel shoulders and arms matching the correct swing plane angle.
Rotate forearms so the trail palm faces up in the backswing and faces the target at impact.
Stay in posture through impact before naturally standing upright into a full follow-through.
Perform 5 to 10 slow rehearsal swings to feel the forearm opening and closing before taking full driver swings.
