Drill to Start Downswing Before Completing Backswing


Published: March 2, 2026

Ever wonder how PGA professionals such as Ernie Els execute such a smooth, effortless transition?

Here is the good news:

Building a smooth and powerful transition like Els is not nearly as difficult as you think.

In this video, I reveal the one part of your swing sequencing that is most likely off — and it is costing you both power and consistency.

Then you will get a simple drill to improve your timing and dramatically increase your club head speed.

This single drill increased my club head speed from 113 mph to as high as 127 mph, all in approximately 10 minutes!

You will discover:

  • Why starting your downswing and weight shift at the same time is robbing you of significant power,
  • How performing your transition correctly can improve your timing, power, and consistency simultaneously, and
  • The simple drill that can put it all together for a fluid, tour-caliber transition!
