20 Days With The Guru: Day 3:The Claw Drill

December 8, 2010

Thanks for joining me on day 3 of 20 days with the Guru. Today I have hooked up a small segment of one of my lessons that includes a live look at how “The Claw Drill” will help improve your impact position. Here is your 3 step release program that will help you with that scoop or flip

1) 25 left arm only swings with an 8 iron off of a low tee

2) 25 Claw drills with an 8 iron off of a low tee

3) 25 3/4 punch shots until you can control the shaft of the club through the hitting area.

I hope you enjoy the video and a special thanks to Eric Ballard for allowing me show off his golf swing and my drill. Please leave a comment below, thanks and enjoy the claw.
