NELLY KORDA’S DRILL FOR A PERFECT SWING PATH

Описание: Want to hit more consistent golf shots? Try placing a ball behind your club to improve your swing path, avoid common mistakes, and make better contact. Simple drill, big results!


Here's how the drill works:
1. Setup:
Place two golf balls on the ground, with the second ball positioned behind the first, leaving a small gap between them.

2. Execution:
The golfer aims to push the second ball straight back with the clubhead during the takeaway, without flipping the wrist or taking the club too far inside or outside.

3. Feedback:
If the second ball is pushed straight back, it indicates a good takeaway. If it goes to the inside or outside, it highlights issues in the takeaway path

More in depth:

The Nelly Korda “push back drill” or "pushing ball back" drill is designed to improve the takeaway and backswing in a golf swing, promoting a smoother, more controlled motion. It involves placing a second golf ball a few inches behind the primary ball and pushing it backward with the clubhead during the takeaway, aiming for a low and slow movement. This drill helps golfers avoid common takeaway faults like being too quick, flipping the wrists, or lifting the clubhead too early.


Here's a breakdown of the drill:
1. Setup:
Place a golf ball in your normal stance. Then, place a second golf ball a few inches directly behind the first.

2. Takeaway:
As you begin your backswing, focus on pushing the second ball back with the clubhead, keeping the club low and slow.

3. Feedback:
The way the second ball rolls provides immediate feedback. A straight roll indicates a good takeaway, while a ball that rolls inside or outside suggests an issue with the swing path.

4. Purpose:
This drill helps golfers develop a smooth, controlled takeaway, preventing them from taking the club back too quickly or lifting the clubhead too early.

5. Variations:
Some variations involve using a headcover or a tee as a target for the second ball, adding another layer of feedback and precision.
