Slow swings - To get the most out of this drill, just rehearse some slow swings and focus on where the plane's wings are pointing. Don't worry about hitting any balls.

A 'plane' and simple iron-play drill

1 Yes, this is a toy aeroplane on my club! I’m always looking out for different kinds of props I can use in lessons, and Brian Manzella was the first coach I saw using this one. A lot of mid- to high-handicappers, particularly slicers, tend to try and keep the clubface facing the target line for too long post-impact. This image shows this poor position, with the giveaway the wings pointing to the right.
