Over the years I’ve observed many touring professionals here at Lake Nona practicing this drill when working on half shots. The drill stops overuse of the hands, forces you to rotate your body and overcomes excessive hand and arm use during the shot.

Place headcovers or towels under both arms. Keep them in place as you make a waist-high backswing to a waist-high follow through. Feel your hips pivoting with the rotation of the body. Pay particular attention to the follow through as your feet should be active. At the finish of this small swing, the weight should be on the left leg. The left leg should be firm and the right heel off the ground.
