The Set & Turn Drill teaches the swing to happen in order. The club gets set early. The upper body carries it to the top. No hand hoist. No little elevator ride to nowhere. Big muscles lead, small muscles follow.

Done simply, it trains sequence. Tweak the clubface, and it becomes a quiet lesson in face control too.

Start with your wedges and work all the way to your driver.

Steps—

1. Set up to the ball.

2. Start your backswing.

3. Pause when shaft is parallel to the ground—close to your toe line, about hip high.

4. From there, slowly turn your upper body to the top of the backswing.

5. Swing through to finish.

6. Hold your finish while watching the ball flight.

Fat or thin shots? Try Nip or Thump Drill
Toe or heel? Nail Drill

Otherwise, follow the 3-2-1 Ball Progression.

• Use three balls. Two with the drill, then one without.

• Use two balls. One with the drill, then another without.

• Use one ball. Your normal swing.

Move on to the next club.

Caution—

Do not set the club, then lift your hands to the top. Set the club, then turn. Let the bigger parts, your upper body, carry the smaller parts. This is important. Very important.

Practice Note—

Do this long enough to feel the motion. Then move on to Variability Practice and, ultimately, Competition Practice.
