In this video lesson, Andy Gorman shares with us a particular training drill that he works with many more players.
But this is not a drill just for elite players essentially. What we’re talking about here is pitching where ordinarily you would pitch in this manner but all too often I see flippy hands through impact and a handsy movement back and forward.

Very minimal body movement through the shot by going to a cack-handed drill.

We can actually now force the body into the rotation if we don’t the club feels extremely light in my hands. I lose control over it and I have very little control over the loft and the delivery of the angle of attack into the back of the ball.

So it’s purely and simply just moving the hands around as we oftentimes see with their putting and then back and throw pop the ball on it’s way to the target and just keeping the body turning through the shot. We’ll be able to control the golf club and how we deliver the club into the back of the ball. Ball position exactly the same as it would be if my hands were a normal way around back at the ball in line with my sternum hands. Very very slightly in front or the butt of the club kind of in line with the ball swap the hands around and just keep my chest turning and our impact.

I must ensure that chest is open at the point of impact if it’s too square.

I’ll end up with a flippy action one more just focus on the chest rotation through the ball.
