The Waggle: A lost art in shot making

Ben Hogan loved his waggle. He talked about it clearly in his book and it is very noticeable in film of him playing and practising that he practised what he preached.

The waggle these days is something of a lost art used by very few of the top players. Jason Dufner (a Hogan buff) is about the only one who has a very similar waggle to that of the older generation of players.

Maybe this has been to do with the new equipment and players “shaping” the ball less, but I feel it can be of tremendous benefit to all golfers when used well.

In this video I show how the waggle can be of use to learning golfers, by giving them a feeling for where and how the wrists should fold in the back swing to be in a square position at the top of the swing.

I also talk a little about how I use the waggle to help me feel the shot I’m about to play.

Hold off your release to hit a fade: A Tiger Woods tip

I got this tip from Tiger Woods back in 1997. When on the course and trying to hit a fade Tiger would grip the club tighter in his left hand to ensure he held off the release.

When playing a fade I normally grip the club at 5-6 on a scale of 0-10 (0 lightest and 10 tightest)

But sometimes things aren’t working out as planned on the course and you can’t feel the fade.

This is when I choose to try holding the club tighter, but only with the left hand. Try gripping the club at around 8-9 and you should then find it hard to release the club making a draw shot almost impossible.

The right heel moves towards the target: A Butch Harmon tip

This tip came from Butch Harmon. The right heel should be the first part of the foot to move with a slight shift towards the target before turning upwards.

Learning to do this can be particularly helpful for those who spin out or turn the hips without shifting the weight and sliding the hips at all.

This bumping of the hips will help to drop the club onto the inside path on the down swing.

Make sure the club face is square or closed beforehand though as a slicer who fixes the path before the club face is asking for trouble.

To get this right you want to get to the top, start the down swing with the left hip moving laterally towards the target which will pull the heel in the same direction.

Then you can let the foot roll and the heel turn upwards through into the through swing.

Feel the club head swing… and find your balance

A simple looking drill, but not quite so easy to do. When demonstrating this I found it pretty difficult to keep my balance.

It took a few tries to let the club head swing freely enough that I could keep my balance.

When you do this you will feel every muscle you use in your swing to get the club moving and all the work your legs are doing to keep you upright.

It really is a great drill to help you get the focus away from hitting to letting the club head swing.

Obviously when playing you have a combination of both hitting and swinging, but this drill can reduce the amount of hit while helping you find your balance.

Using your practice swings to help shotmaking

Sometimes when you’re on the course you find it difficult to change the shot shape you want to hit.

This tip can help you get the feelings for hitting fades or draws when practice swinging.

When the weight is fully on the left foot during the swing it makes it much easier to swing from an inside path. When the weight is on the right foot it is much easier to swing from an outside path.

By moving the weight forward or back in the practice swing you can exaggerate the motions and therefore get a better feeling for the swing path you are going to make in the shot.

Remember to go back the set up you would use for hitting the intended shot, as you don’t need the weight fully forward or back to hit these shots.
