PV Drills List

This drill is great for fixing up your sequence and getting that pressure forward to hit those super crispy and clean iron shots. All you need to do is feel like once your lead arm is parallel to the ground in the backswing, you take a step forward with the lead foot. Thats all it takes. Start with a smaller stance, feel the momentum of the club, and watch how clean these strikes start to get!

This is more of a feel rather than a drill. If anyone struggles with a reverse pivot or just poor hip rotation through the downswing - this drill is for you. All you need to feel is the lead knee firing open to kick off the downswing. This sets a chain reaction off that gets your swing in sequence and can help you hit much better golf shots.

This drill forces you to get the weight forward. The goal is to step through your shot with the trail foot immediately after impact. It is impossible to do this quickly if you do not get the pressure onto the lead foot early in the downswing. A great drill for anyone struggling with chunks or early extension

This drill helps you get everything in sequence. Golfers who get stuck or swing over the top generally spin out the hips too early, which forces the upper body to go with it. This drill teaches golfers how to feel more pressure shift in the downswing instead of instant hip rotation. 

This is a great drill for anyone struggling with Over the Top. Place an alignment rod in your bag just above the hands and about 6 inches out on your trail side. This will create a bar that you have to swing under or else you will hit it! Golfers who come over the top generally would crash into this bar with the hands or the club, so having this incentive or object that they MUST avoid helps them to get the club into the right positions athletically. 

This drill is very similar to the Belt Loops drill - but a bit more forgiving. It accomplishes the same goal - to force the golfer's arms more in front in the downswing and prevent that 'stuck' position that many struggle with. 

This is such a simple drill but so effective. Place a wedge under your trail heel. The goal is simple - do not the grip end drop until POST IMPACT. Golfers who early extend or get stuck struggle with this - they fire the hips too early and the trail heel comes off the ground. If those same golfers can get comfortable doing this drill, they will have much improved hip motion and will be on the way to getting Unstuck.

Place an alignment rod on your shoulders and on your hips. The goal is to click the sticks in the downswing. Most golfers who come out of posture or early extend would struggle to do this in their real swing. This drill gives a quick incentive and sound cue to know if you are doing it right. Once you get the feel down and can click the sticks comfortably, the full swing will feel brand new. 

Running an alignment rod through your belt loops is a strange idea at first but it is one of the single best drills any player can do. Golfers who get stuck show a few key characteristics in the downswing: The arms get behind the hips, the hips stall out completely, and they flip through the ball to save it. This drill removes all of that. By just trying to get the arms back down in front of the alignment rod BEFORE firing the hips through the ball, the golfer will create so much space, the swing will become effortless, and the golfer can now swing left with a lot more face control instead of having to worry about blocks or hooks. 

By placing an object underneath the ball of the lead foot, we create a pressure point. This pressure point is so useful because it gives you an exact area to focus your pressure on when moving into the downswing. It is easy for coaches to say "Get your weight forward", but it can be difficult for a golfer to understand exactly what they mean. This drill marries the two, by pushing hard off of this pressure point, the golfer is forced to move their pressure forward which in turn also opens the hips properly and creates space for the arms and club in the downswing.

By simply placing a club at a 45 degree angle underneath you, you can start to see exactly how the hips should work in the downswing. Golfers who early extend usually shoot the hips towards the ball. If you try to trace the line created by the club with your belt buckle, you will be forced into rotation, into keeping the hips back and away from the ball, and forced to use the ground properly to accomplish this goal. Overal great drill - one of my favorites. 

This drill can greatly help golfers in their downswing. Any golfer who struggles getting the low point more forward - whether that be because they hang back, or cast - can benefit from feeling a stable and strong lead side in the downswing. This also takes the trail side out of play, which helps you feel strict rotation instead of any hiking/early extension from the trail leg. 

This is a great drill to fight that early extension in your swing. Often times, a golfer presents early extension as the trail leg shooting out and underneath them, which forces their hips and upper body straight away from the ball. This drill gives you an incentive - an object to avoid - which will easily help you feel the right motions in your swing and develop your own personal feels to fight that early extension

By trying to feel like we are starting a mower - pulling up on the pull cord - we naturally get into a great pivot and backswing position with the body. Our hips open, we load around the trail side, and our chest opens as well. It is important to only feel how the BODY is opening. If we mimic the arm motion in the swing as well, we will get our arms too far behind us at the top - getting us stuck and unable to play great golf. 

By placing a headcover in the right spot, we can keep our arms and club in front of us. This gets us in a position where as long as we keep our backside back, we will start to clean our contact up a ton. 

This drill is great for getting those ground forces working early and often in the swing. By keeping the feet together initially, we are forced to move our feet, and therefor shift our weight/pressure at the correct time. Being able to hit a ball clean while doing this drill is the ultimate goal. 

This is a staple drill in golf instruction. Placing a bag behind you, and keeping your backside on it throughout the duration of the swing is a key fundamental and is the most common fault that I have seen. Getting good at this drill will mean you eliminate early extension, make it hard to get stuck, and will help you become an elite ball striker.

By pretending there is a fence off your trail side that we need to reach over without touching, we naturally create a really good and stable pivot. This is a really simple feel and most golfers will pick up on this feel instantly. It helps with width, your pivot, and prevents the reverse pivot which can be so damaging to the back. 

Placing a tee, or a credit card in the top of the glove will force you to have a neutral wrist throughout the swing. This prevents cupping, which can open the face, and cause over the top or flipping through impact. Great fundamental for beginners and any golfer that struggles with a cupped lead wrist.

This ball is a super simple drill that helps you keep the arms more in front of you. Stops you from getting stuck, helps your sequence, and gets the arms in the right spot in both the backswing and downswing. This is a drill/training aid i recommend to every golfer, as every golfer will struggle with this at some point in their career.

If you are fighting with early extension, this is a great drill. It forces you to bank the trail foot in the downswing, and load correctly in the backswing. An overall swing improver.

This drill uses a club placed on a golfers shoulder line. The goal is to keep the grip end of the club pointed at the ball in the backswing, and the clubhead at the ball in the downswing. This helps golfers stay more in posture, and understand how the body should be tilting and moving in the downswing.

This drill uses a wedge to move the golfers legs into the right position. With the legs being in the right spot, we create a good body turn, allowing us to have a more consistent downswing. 

This isn't really a drill - but it can be. This is mainly a visual way to see how the hips work throughout the swing. Most golfers can get this out of sequence, but if we can do it properly, and understand why we are doing it, our swing will be much better. 

This drill forces you into the exact positions that create the ideal backswing. Utilizing four alignment rods/clubs, we place them on the ground and on our body in a way where if we match the rods up, we have a perfect backswing turn. 

This could be used as a warm up, or a drill, or both. The idea behind this is just to get golfers to feel exactly how much chest turn you should be having in the backswing. A lack of chest turn can be one of the main faults that leads to an extremely over the top swing, so if you struggle with slices, you should be doing this on the first tee box.

Rocking the Feet is a great way to feel an athletic golf swing. Most golfers take the athleticism out of the game as they get too focused on certain positions. Rocking your feet naturally creates the ground forces required to have a good sequence, and a good sequence = a good swing.

Some golfers might already be good at this! This drill uses a throwing or tossing motion to get the right takeaway and get your golf swing off to a good start.

In this drill, you will take an object, and place it right under the instep of your trail foot. In your backswing, you need to feel like you stomp this object down into the ground. This will force you to use the ground properly, get a really nice load and pivot in your backswing, which can  naturally settle a lot of issues that a golfer might see in their swing. 

This drill helps you to get a really solid pivot in your backswing. You will be forced to feel the correct motion, and use the ground in the right way in order to complete the drill effectively. It also will help your sequence, as it naturally leads you into the downswing, which can improve distance and accuracy.

This is a drill used by one of the best players in the world - Nelly Korda. She uses this drill to make sure her takeaway doesn't roll inside too early, and allows her to have a very neutral backswing path and position at the top. 

This drill puts your takeaway in the perfect position, and even helps you to get a better backswing position, as it dials in your club angles halfway back. Great overall backswing drill

This drill keeps the clubhead outside the hands, reducing the inside takeaway, which leads to many issues like coming over the top.

Super simple drill that helps keeps a players arms much more in front of them and structured. A common fault is that the trail arm sucks behind the body, which leads to them getting stuck in the downswing, leading to many inconsistencies. 

Quick alignment rod drill to make sure that your face is always square to your target line. This is something that plagues amateurs who struggle with seeing the target line well. Some golfers might have a face that is very closed but looks square to them. This will train the eye to see a square face.

Alignment Rod Drill to make sure that your body alignment and ball position is never off track. Small checks like this can separate good players from elite ones come tournament day.

Alignment Rod Drill to ensure proper alignment at setup and that no issues will stem directly from the setup.
