1 Bag drill

This is one for those golfers who have a tendency to hang back through impact (inset), which will typically lead to fat and thin strikes. Rest your trail foot on top of your golf bag. This is getting you used to the feeling of what it's like to have the pressure forward through impact, and it'll encourage a downward angle of attack. Just take some half swings. You'll struggle to hit the ground first if you try this drill; it's really effective for getting the weight moving towards the target, so the club hits the ball before the ground.
