Day 17 of 21 | Golf Follow Through, part 1

We've done a lot of work so far on the release of the club. Equally important is now the follow through, particularly how you move your right shoulder under, through and up.

I can usually tell when a golfer slices the ball by watching the follow-through. I don't even need to see the flight of the ball: if a golfer finishes with their right shoulder higher than their left then 9 times out of 10, he will slice the ball. Below are some pictures that show you what your right shoulder should ideally be doing in the follow-through:

Day 16 of 21 | Perfect Golf Swing Drills (Golf Swing Release, final part): Wrist Touching Drill

Today is the final day of working on the golf swing release. This drill will add the final piece to your release.



Day 16 Task

Use your 8-iron and tee up a ball as normal.

Now setup to this ball as if you're going to hit a straight shot. Don't exaggerate your setup for this drill.

From your setup position simply swing back so your club is close to parallel with the ground, as is shown in picture 1, and STOP.

Now, check that your club is in a similar position to mine (see picture 1), and most importantly check to see that the toe of your club is pointing straight up to the sky -- This Is Very Important! If your swing at this point is not the same or similar as to what I'm showing you in picture 1 then repeat your take-away until you get into or close to this position.

Day 13 of 21 | Golf Swing Drills (Golf Swing Release, part 3): baseball swing drill

Today’s drill is basically the same drill as on day 11, but this time you're standing up. You need to use your legs when you do your baseball/softball swings. And because you're doing this swing on such a flat swing plane, you need to do the upright backswing drill as well after completing this exercise.

Day 13 Task


Hold a club out in front of you and swing like a baseball/softball player back and forth, and this time use your legs as you are swinging. Here's some pictures to illustrate this drill in detail:

Day 12 of 21 | Cure Slice (Golf Swing Release, part 2): Keep Your Legs Together

Like yesterday's drill, today's drill is really simple. All it involves is hitting balls or swinging if you can't hit any balls, with your feet together.

This drill will teach your hands to release through impact. With your feet together, your body is restricted in the swing so your hands have to take over. Another great benefit of doing this drill is that you will gain greater balance because you won't be able to swing too hard.


Day 12 Task

Grab an 8 or 9 iron and setup to a ball with your feet together. Tee up the ball quite high when doing this exercise because that will promote a flatter downswing. Once you’re setup to your teed-up ball, simply swing about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way back and then swing through with about the same length follow-through.

Day 10 of 21 | The Down Swing: Another Drill to Help You Improve Swing

Your backswing plane should be more upright than the down swing plane. Unfortunately a lot of golfers' swing plane is the exact opposite of this and it turns into swinging over the top.

Swinging over the top is one of the biggest causes of the ball starting to the left and turning into a slice or a pull.


Giving you the upright backswing drill has already started to cure the over-the-top problem. But now we need to work on flattening your downswing plane. But before I give you a drill that will help you to do that I have a word of warning.


The drill that I'm going to give you today is going to feel so strange that you may not want to do it. But please persevere: I'm asking you to do the total opposite of what you probably have been doing for your entire golf career so far, so no wonder it's feels odd!
