NO LIFTING. NO FATTING. Just Perfect Strikes with THE SHORT SHAFT DRILL
Warren Bennett presents the Short Shaft Drill to stop golfers from lifting up and hitting thin or fat shots. By choking down on the shaft and lowering into impact, golfers learn to maintain spine angle and compress the ball. The video breaks down a progressive three-phase approach to blend this drill into full swings.
Choke down to the metal shaft on a mid-iron and hover the clubhead above the ball at address.
Maintain your standing posture during a half backswing, then lower your body into impact to compress the ball.
Keep your trail arm tucked into downswing to accommodate the lower body position and create natural lag.
Progress smoothly from extreme choked-down swings (Phase 1) to slight choke-down (Phase 2) and hover address (Phase 3).
