Comment STRIPE below and I’ll share my 3 Favorite Ball Striking Drills 👇
Most golfers think a big backswing means moving away from the ball. That’s exactly what’s costing you your strike.
The difference between a bogey golfer and a scratch golfer often comes down to one movement in the backswing - the lead shoulder.
✅ Bogey golfer: the lead shoulder rises up and away - this pulls the head off the ball and destroys your contact point before you’ve even started down.
✅ Scratch golfer: the lead shoulder works down toward the ball - this keeps the head steady and gives you a consistent, repeatable strike.
It’s a small shift in direction with a massive difference in outcome.
📩 Send this to your playing partner who always seems to lose their shape at the top of the backswing.
