Swing going off the rails? Get back on track with this simple drill

We’ve all been there: things are going along swimmingly, then all of the sudden, your swing gets out of whack. As your score balloons, panic sets in. How can you possibly right the ship?

GOLF Top 100 Teacher Trillium Rose has a simple fix. In a video posted to Titleist’s YouTube channel, Rose explains a simple move you can do in between shots to reset your body and mind for success.“Sometimes, mid-round, you may feel like you lose your swing, and it’s happened to all of us,” Rose said. “The key here is just to get some feel back.”

Rose suggests focusing on maintaining a proper spine angle during the swing. When a golf swing goes off the rails, it can be because you’re lifting or jumping out of the swing through impact. To fix this, all you need is a club.

“If you’re losing your spine angle or jumping up out of it, put the club behind your shoulders, extend the grip out to the right — or your trail side — and then bend into your posture,” she said. “Go through the swing slowly and really feel that right through impact, that grip pointing outside the ball.”

If lifting or jumping is the source of your troubles, you’ll likely find that your grip is pointing to the horizon line instead of outside the ball.

“That’s not a good thing,” Rose said.

At the very least, this drill is helpful to get you out of a mid-round funk because it forces you to think about an important fundamental: posture.

“Get the feel,” Rose said. “Figure out what it’s like in your feet, what muscles you’ve got to get it tuned into, and that should be a helpful thought for you just to get everything back on track.”
