While doing this drill, do you need to modify your hip rotation? Thinking by doing my normal swing , the face/path would be closed--so I need to feel like I'm really swinging out.
Gary R.
If you try to rotate left through the ball, you will miss the ball with this drill. If you swing the club head down the line through the target and allow the body to follow, you will keep the face on the path longer and hit it straight. Be sure you are aware of which swing theory you use.
That driver is very long compared to your body—to your armpits! That enables you to execute this drill more easily than me-6’6” with long arms?
David K
The length of the club should not matter. Try it! I was fit for this driver.
Is “letting the club head go” a function of the wrists?
Terry W.
YES!
Hi Cindy. Just wanted to let you know that your putting video was excellent. It got me to reassess my technique and I’m going to change it, which btw produced positive results. Thanks.
Joseph A.
GREAT NEWS!
You are welcome!
Awesome tip! Thank you. I got tired of hitting BOMB after BOMB at the range. But on the course... Ugh...
What is the feeling in the arm joints before you let the club go?
Peter H
The arms are relaxed. Let the club head rip!
where is your left heal in relation to the golf ball, from the video it appears that the ball is forward (in front of your foot?). Should the ball be lined up with the inside left heal in your example? thanks.
Julian K
You are aligning your left heel with the imaginary golf ball that is behind the real golf ball. Therefore, the real golf ball is being hit on the through part of the club head path.

Hi Cindy
I took a lesson with you oat the wherle golf dome years ago now I’m
Living in Florida. My questions is this;
Can u use this ame drill hitting irons? I seem to have my club face open with shorter irons
Thanks
James H.
Yes, you can use this drill with irons, but be sure to only have the ball an inch or two forward. Have the ball teed up or sitting on a high piece of grass. The further forward you play the ball, the higher the tee needs to be. The reason why is once a pendulum reaches the bottom of the arc, it starts moving upward.
This and many other videos might be more impactful if the closed captioning text did not cover the ball in the videos.
in the lower right hand corner of the video there is a button named CC. Click on that and you will get the option to turn off captions...
How do you keep from topping the ball with the ball set 5 inches in front of where you normally tee up the ball for the driver? Is this technique for training only or can this be used on the golf course as well?
Gerry D
If you tee the ball high enough and allow the club head to swing, you will not top it. I have used it in a major championship when I knew I was trying too hard. It will help you learn to let it rip and not hold on. Go ahead and try it! It’s fun!
Thanks, Cindy. Will do.
