When you are on the golf course, have you ever had the sense that you are just loosing it and the harder you try the worse it gets? Well, I know I have. I have come up with a good drill that will help you kind of get back the rythmn, your balance of your swing and also get back your sense of where the club is as you are swinging. It goes like this-it's called the 'piccolo drill'.


You hold the club just as normal, you take all your fingers off and just leave your index and your thumb of both hands on the golf club. You start with a fairly slow swing just feeling the weight of the club let it get bigger and bigger and pretty soon with that light grip pressure you start feeling more of the club again.

So that's the 'piccolo drill' and for any more help, contact your local LPGA teaching professional.
