THIS DRILL HELPED ME TURN PRO.

There was a time I used to feel long at the top of my backswing, disconnected and have very little synchronisation throughout my golf swing which led to the occasional stray shots. 

My mentor, @Davidleadbetter showed me this drill 

it was something he used to do with Nick faldo, one of my childhood golfing idols. This drill helped shorten and tighten up the swing and have everything working together as one in a synchronised fashion without any lose of distance, to be honest the strike was pure. ❤️👍

Place a towel behind your back and under your armpits. When you take your address position, the towel should feel slightly taut across your back when you attempt, making your practice swing you will feel that body and arms will work more together in a synchronised fashion. The swing will feel shorter and tighter while doing this.

Make sure the towel does not fall from underneath your arms at any point. 👊👏

Give it a try and be patient with it👊

HOW YOUR LAG WORKS DURING YOUR DOWNSWING

The Way you ease up during the Downswing

Easing up on the downswing is important when it comes to speeding up the clubhead toward impact. We call the indicator for revealing how you ease up on the power "natural uncock."

More detail...

From the latest findings in sports science(*), we have learned through the modeling of golf swings as pendular movement that the energy of the arms can be more effectively delivered to the club using the natural acceleration of the club itself. In these models, the natural acceleration of the club is utilized by power in the arms being relaxed during the downswing, causing the club head to accelerate.

Natural uncock shows to what extent the speed of one's arms is releasing power, from its maximum to the time of impact.

The reading will be 0% if no power is released, and when power is released, it will rise in keeping with the extent to which it is. If the reading is below 30%, please give thought to how you use power up to the point of impact and look for a timing that will hasten the head speed. Incidentally, in our data, the average of natural uncock for male pros and female pros are about 40% and about 20%, respectively.

There used to be a time where I would be inconsistent with the takeaway moving the club away a foot or so from the ball.

I used this drill to fix that problem for once and for all. 

Place an alignment stick diagonally between the heel of your left and toe of your right foot in your setup, move the club away around a foot while keeping the line of the shaft online parallel with the alignment stick. You will notice from down the line the club will stay perfectly on plane.

In my case you will have noticed that during the takeaway practice swing the the club is slightly under the line but parallel on plane this is to gain an extra feel so the club will move on plane during the shot 

Give it a try and be patient with it👊
