Wall Drill for Posture
SetupBuilds a repeatable athletic setup posture by using a wall to teach the correct hip hinge instead of slouching or standing too tall.
How to do it
- 1Stand with your back to a wall, heels about 15 cm (6 in) away from it.
- 2Push your hips straight back until your rear end touches the wall, keeping your back straight.
- 3Let your arms hang naturally under your shoulders and add a little knee flex.
- 4Hold that position for a few seconds, then step away and take your grip without changing anything.
Feel: Bowing from the hips like a waiter, not squatting or hunching your shoulders.
Equipment: none (any wall)
Alignment Stick Station
SetupThe classic two-stick range station that trains aim and body alignment, fixing the most common setup fault: shoulders and feet pointed way off target.
How to do it
- 1Lay one alignment stick on the ground pointing at your target, just outside the ball.
- 2Lay a second stick parallel to the first, along your toe line.
- 3Set your feet, knees, hips, and shoulders parallel to the toe-line stick (like railroad tracks).
- 4Hit balls checking after every few shots that your body is still parallel to the sticks.
Feel: Standing on the inside rail of railroad tracks while the ball travels down the outside rail.
Equipment: two alignment sticks (or two spare clubs)
Ball Position T-Drill
SetupUses a T of alignment sticks to make ball position consistent — a wandering ball position quietly ruins contact and start line.
How to do it
- 1Lay one stick down your target line and a second stick perpendicular to it, pointing at the ball, forming a T.
- 2For wedges and short irons, set the cross stick at the middle of your stance.
- 3For longer clubs, move the cross stick progressively forward, up to your lead heel for driver.
- 4Hit five balls with each club, setting up to the same cross-stick reference every time.
Feel: The ball finds the same spot in your stance automatically, without a second look.
Equipment: two alignment sticks
