Core Drills
Master these foundational movements before progressing. The goal is sensory feedback, not hitting balls immediately.
PHASE 1
The Anti-Sway Pivot
Fixes: Chunk / Fat shots
Objective: Learn to rotate around a stable right post without moving the center of mass laterally.
- Stand on the board without a club. Cross arms over chest.
- Turn shoulders 90 degrees while keeping the board perfectly level.
- If the board tilts right, you swayed. If it tilts left, you reverse-pivoted.
- Hold the backswing position for 3 seconds. Feel the tension in the inside of the right thigh.
Do 3 sets of 10 slow reps daily.
PHASE 2
The Step-Through
Fixes: Thin / Topped / Hanging Back
Objective: Force complete weight transfer to the lead side before impact.
- Take your setup on the board with a wedge (no ball).
- Make a slow backswing, maintaining a level board.
- As you start down, intentionally tilt the board to the lead side.
- As the club passes the impact zone, let your momentum pull your trail foot completely off the board, stepping forward.
Ensure 100% of weight is on the lead foot at the finish.
