Try The 9-9 Backswing Drill
If you get a little “handsy” in the takeaway, this drill helps you create a good structure to your arms and body. Create the number 9 and then keep it until the club head reaches 9:00 on the clock-face. If you want more width (which you do) this is a great way to lead more with the body in the back swing.

Many golfers make this setup mistake with the driver — standing with the right hip too high and getting the spine tilted toward the target. That move leads to steep, leftward swings and big misses. Instead, create a slight tilt at address by shifting the right hip just lower than the left, tilting away from the target. This lets you load into your trail hip, shallow the path, and launch straighter, more powerful drives.

If you turn too early in your downswing you're most likely going to be coming over the top.
Instead, focus on shifting towards the target and allowing your hands and arms to then drop down the body and achieve that shallowness. This will help stop that dreaded over the top which leads to all kinds of issues with your strike

Hitting your irons fat? Think of "closing the gap" between your body and the impact line - you'll make cleaner contact quickly!

A brief pause in the takeaway with a connected moveaway is a drill we often see Rory doing - if you struggle with iron contact check it out.

If you’re scooping your chips, the hands are usually doing too much.
This drill helps you feel the club moving with the body and shoulders instead of flipping through impact. Cleaner contact, better control, and way more consistency around the greens.

Keeping the belt ahead of the buttons is one of the simplest cues to prevent reverse spine angle.
When the chest leads too early, the whole swing tilts out of position and rotation becomes really hard. Leading with the belt keeps your posture intact and helps your body sequence the way better players do. Such an easy visual that makes the swing feel instantly cleaner.

Stability in the golf swing doesn’t mean freezing the body. When golfers try to keep the lower body completely still, rotation and pivot break down and the swing often gets steep. A stable base with freedom of movement through the hips creates a more athletic, repeatable motion.

If rotation or consistency feels restricted, head to the link in our bio. Our coaching plans help you build a stable base while allowing the freedom needed to swing athletically and strike the ball more consistently.

If shoulder mobility is limited, forcing a long backswing often creates more problems than power. A shorter, wider backswing helps keep the club in front of the body and reduces the need to steepen the shaft on the way down. Matching your swing to your range of motion makes consistency much easier to find.
If mobility or swing fit is something you’re unsure about, head to the link in our bio. Our coaching plans help you build a swing that works with your body, not against it, so you can strike the ball more consistently without guessing.
