If you struggle with posture loss or inconsistent contact, this drill will help you feel the right movement instantly.
By splitting your hands and gripping the club like a hockey stick, you can train proper posture, rotation, and shaft movement without worrying about hitting a ball. Striking an impact bag exaggerates the correct chest rotation and helps you learn how real compression should feel. Build this into your practice and your ball-striking will improve fast.

So, we know the best players right shoulder is low when they’re hitting the golf ball. It also means that they’ve rotated more and we have more side bend in our right side when we’re hitting the shot. This hockey slapshot drill, don’t get laughing at my technique, please. I’m English. But from here, if we actually think from here, splitting the arm down the shaft and then rotating the body, shifting it towards the target, but making sure when we hit the bag, the right shoulder is really low and the left shoulders high. This is giving that sensation of getting that good side bend and that low right shoulder. This is great then because it’s showing your body how to move under force because if you got an impact bag or even just doing it against the sofa at home, be careful who’s around when you do that. But ultimately just having this or even just a pillow and just hitting into a bag like that with that right shoulder low with a bit of force. You want a bit of speed into this because we want to make sure that you’re not just practicing the movement, you’re practicing the movement under strain and force. It’s going to give you that sensation of keeping that right shoulder low, getting that side bend, which is crucial for ball striking. When you do all of that, it kind of looks a little bit more like this with forward shaft lean. We know we want that when it comes to hitting those irons solid. More chances.
