* SWAYING & IRON PLAY *

Going to buck the trend here and talk about something different to being able to HIT IT MILES! 

Hopefully the art of approach play and precision iron shots will once again get the respect it deserves in the near future. 

Here I had a player that had some hip ‘SWAY’ off the ball and we wanted to minimise that to make it easier to keep the LOW point in the swing more forward as to stop hitting shots slightly heavy. He was hitting shots very neutral with minimal curve, so we wanted to improve strike and bring the ball flight DOWN with mid & short irons. 

Pressure shift to the right when going for distance can have lots of benefits, BUT it’s not as important when hitting approach shots/shots from rough and trying to hit ‘flighted’ shots into tricky pin positions. 

At the end of the bud is one of my favourite drills which in this case is to minimise sway and help create the FEEL of where pressure should be at impact and show us that we don’t need the big pressure shift for this part of the game. 

I use this drill for multiple of other reasons as some of our ZSA players know... shallowing, swinging more on an arc around the body, not opening the body too quickly on the downswing, creating depth and more.. 

As brianmanzella referred to on Twitter earlier this week, we should as coaches be giving shoutouts to where we learned and picked up drills and little gems of info... I got this move from andy_plummer 👊🏽
