One drill or concept

[mgjordan]

Brian,
If you could only give all golfers one key drill or concept and then leave them to figure everything else out on their own, what would you tell/show them?

I'll guess it involves "seeing the wedding ring"

I can't speak for Brian and others but for me the most difficult concept has been lag and sustaining it.It IS the secret to golf.I can figure out other areas of my swing through trial and error but without TGM,Brian and other knowledgeable posters on this forum,it would be difficult to improve this crucial area of the swing.

Lag has been talked about but never in the detail that TGM explains it.

what is this?

This is a great post. Wonder why it just ended? Looking forward to a response as well!

The three ball drill is all about hitting the ball on the WAY to taking a divot.

I'm a very creative person but I need a little more help. Thanks

I'll use my imagination with the 3-ball drill. I guess you line up three balls in a row and try to hit all three front to back? Sounds exciting, but dangerous!

 

[curtisj76]

That was my guess. Not sure.

According to Mr. Kelley it is the magic of the right forearm or more precisely
"The Right Forearm tracing down the Delivery Line."

Here is a description from a year ago:

"Posted - 10/27/2004 : 23:02:33
Line three balls up in a row, 90degrees to the target line a few inches apart.

Hit the middle ball.

See where the divot is.

It should be in front of the 'line' of the other two balls.

If it is, make sure the ball is no further back than the middle and your head is no further FORWARD than the middle of your stance.

Report back here for further instructions."

Well no one reported back for further instructions.

I guess I imagined the 3-ball drill totally wrong.

Can it be done just hitting the middle ball only?

[Brian Manzella]

The balls should be a few inches apart....and could be a foot apart each.

Well besides the wedding ring maybe you can show the 3 ball drill at the school. Can't wait to get there.

For that average person, yep I'd agree that FULL ROLL is perhaps one of the single most critical things to 'get'. DOWNPLANE being the next step.

But anyone who actually starts and finishes in total balance will be playing well

As for 1 'drill'
