Shorten Your Swing, Keep Your Distance: Right Knee Drill


Published: March 2, 2026

If you shorten your swing using only your arms, you are going to sacrifice a tremendous amount of distance.

I want you to stop overswinging, but you must load properly during your backswing if you do not want to give up power.

In this video, you will learn the Trail Knee Laser Beam Drill to accomplish exactly that.

You will discover:

1) Why twisting your hips excessively in the backswing is not necessary for generating power, and

2) How to get fully loaded in your backswing every single time.

The concept behind this drill is simple but powerful: by imagining a laser beam shooting from your trail knee to a fixed point on the ground, you create an immediate feedback mechanism for your lower body stability. If the laser moves off its spot, you have allowed your trail knee to drift — which means your hips have rotated too far or your weight has shifted incorrectly. This single visual cue teaches your brain to maintain knee flex and proper hip rotation without overthinking the mechanics.
