Place a towel one clubhead length behind the ball and another towel two clubhead lengths in front of the ball. The idea is to twist and shift your body to the left to make the low point of the swing left of the ball and hitting the second towel.

Having your arms outrace the body on the way back will open the clubface and expose the bounce of the club. Start with getting your shoulders level by touching your left knee with your left hand. Then swing with your arms opening the clubface exposing the bounce of the club. This prevents digging.

Many players will lose the angle on the way to the ball. This is an energy drain. Use this drill to help feel holding the angle on the way to the ball.

Brent Blackburn was with Roger Cleveland at the Callaway Cup at PGA Frisco talking about the new Opus Wedges from Callaway. Roger Cleveland doesn’t want to see any radial deviation or wrist hinge with wedge shots. Players can control the speed and the clubface better.

Many amateurs think that the start position and impact are the same. Impact has your body twisting to the left with weight slightly left at impact that helps contact of the ball first and divot second.

Do you think of turning the left shoulder or the right shoulder? I think of the left, others think of the right. No wrong answer…

Seeing players finish with their arms close to their body makes the path of the club go too far left too early and will cause pulls or slices. Keep the arms extended to help the path stay on the full arc.

Use a cross handed motion to increase body rotation. By using this method the buttons on your shirt, hands and club will stay together longer helping the body rotate. Go back to a traditional grip and feel the same rotation.

Play the ball slightly left of center and open the clubface slightly. Add speed to get the sand out on firm bunkers.

Add width to swing in the sand. In Australia, players are taught to have width and take the handle to the target on the follow through. Use a lead hand only swing to feel the shot and take the handle to the target. You can use width on both sides to get the ball out of the bunker.

Feel your hands ahead at impact to make better contact with the ball. Use the visual of driving the tee into the ground.

When swinging the orange whip, if the body leads on the way back you can see the weight and flex of the whip. When I shift back to the ball you can see the weight and flex stay behind the body. The club follows what the body does.

To feel tempo, use a strong breath in on the backswing and then push the breath out on the downswing. This can help feel tempo in your golf swing.

Use the Y swing to control the clubface and help rotation of the body. The swing is a circle and the ball sits on the out edge of that circle. You can use a box or aiming dowel and you should never hit the box if you are in control of the path.
