TEEING OFF
‘No right hand’ slows swing
It is important to swing slowly at first to feel the
proper impact and to learn good swing tempo. The
best way to achieve this slowing effect is with the
right hand's power diminished.
■ Concentrate on swinging
with as wide an arc as
possible while maintaining
control of the club.
■ Make several swings with
a ball.
■ Notice how this drill helps
prevent hooks.
■ Take your normal
stance.
■ Put your right hand
directly on top of your left
(1). Leave your right
forefinger on the shaft if
you like.
■ Make several practice
swings (2).
