Many people cast the club from the top of the back swing. By casting we mean releasing the angle from the right arm and club shaft too early.

To stop this you need to create lag and this drill helps people to learn the feeling for what lag is in the golf swing.

Using a medium iron (7-iron is good) wrap a towel around the club shaft and hold it in your left hand while holding the club in the right.

We are trying to stop the right hand flicking the club out early, so the towel is used to hold back the club shaft and keep the angle between the shaft and right arm.

Make slow swings to get the feeling, then try to recreate those feelings without the towel.

Once you learn to stop casting and get some lag into your swing you’ll find yourself hitting much longer drives and crisper iron shots.

When you swing too far, cross the line at the top or have a flying right elbow, it’s most likely because your elbow are separating on the way back.

To fix any or all of these problems we need to keep the elbows closer together in the swing.

A drill we like to use to help create the feeling of the elbows being close is the sponge drill.

We have taken two large sponges for washing cars (can find at your local hardware store or garage) and taped them together with duck tape.

These sponges form a nice shape which fit into the arms perfectly.

Place between the forearms and make some practice swings and try not to let them slip out.

It is always better to have something between the arms for them to squeeze together rather than having a belt around them. This squeeze is the feeling you need to create and you can then take that to the normal swing.

Skied drives are a result of swinging down into the ball too steeply.

The common reaction people have to this is to tee the ball down lower, but this only makes the problem worse.

When the ball is down almost on the ground, you may not sky the ball any more, but you’ll be swinging even steeper and causing many other poor shots.

To get around this we need to shallow out the swing plane by swinging the hands and the club more around the body rather than up and down.

One of the best ways to do this is to tee the ball up really high.

Now, I know what your thinking and another nice big sky mark on your driver is the last thing you need. So we do this with a 5-iron which has a shallow face to it.

This makes it even harder to catch the ball correctly and will force you to change the swing plane.

Tee it high, swing the hands and club more around you and try to clip the ball off the tee without touching it.

It may take some time to get used to this, but with some slow motion practice swings where you try to touch the top of the tee and no more you will be on your way.

As kids we all grow up having learned to throw things. Boys tend to have quite athletic throws and this can be used to improve your golf.

We throwing a stone or a golf ball, you will turn your shoulders away from the target and then turn back towards it, transferring your weight and extending the arm.

This goes for over arm and side arm throws. The move is closely related to the golf swing when you look at the body turn and the right arm and elbow motion.

Try throwing a golf ball down the range and feel how the body moves. Take the same feelings (except the throw part!) to a golf swing and feel the power of the body motion.

When you are getting the feel for the motion, try it with a ball. You should be happy with the powerful feeling as the body drives the club through the ball.
