Purpose
- To promote good balance and rhythm. This is one of the most popular practice drills, because it is an
easy drill to do and yet it does so much for you. Use it as a warm-up or to stay loose while waiting to hit your next
shot on the course.
- To improve timing, reduce swaying, and promote good swing mechanics. This drill encourages you to
swing within your capabilities. It reduces swaying because of the narrow balance point. If you sway or swing too hard
you will almost fall over.
- To provide a quick check of good swing mechanics. Some golfer.s even use this drill as part of their
pre-shot routine. They do a practice swing with their feet together to develop the feel of the proper arm and hand
action. It seems to make the release a little more natural.
Do.s and Don.ts
Do the .Feet Together Drill. whenever you start to lose confidence in your swing because of repeated missed shots, or ball flight
problems. This drill can prevent many bad faults from creeping into your swing. On a bad day some players use this drill as an
emergency fix during the round. They move their feet very close together to prevent extraneous body movements that may be causing
errant shots, resulting in loss of confidence and wasted strokes.
