Maintain Posture - Merry Go Round Drill - ffcot

One of the biggest differences between touring professionals or good amateurs and higher handicap players is posture in the downswing. Maintaining it is crucial for consistent ball striking. The Merry Go Round drill teaches the proper feeling of keeping the hips back and the chest down when transitioning from the top of your swing into the downswing.

• The lower body should work back away from the ball in the downswing, making room for hands & arms
• Many golfers do the opposite, thrusting knees & hips forward and moving the chest up away from the ball
• Drill: Hold a club against your chest and get into address posture
• Rotate the club to the top, then down into impact position
• If you lose posture, you won't be able to get the club down into impact position
